AGS Scientist

Based in Northern Virginia, Axiologic Solutions LLC, has an opportunity for you to become part of our high-quality team that delivers innovative solutions to key federal clients. We are currently seeking a Total Lifecycle Acquisition Expert to support our growing team.

Overall Assignment Description:

IPA requires an expert scientist for the AGS project. Specific duties to be performed by the contractor are listed below.

Duties include:

The Chief Scientist will provide day-to-day technical management of the Nonconventional

Exploitation Factors Data System (NEFDS) to include:

* Translate existing requirements of users into epics, features, user stories and acceptance criteria based on an understanding of the different physical phenomenology's being exploited.

* Collect and analyze ground truth data to determine the validity and accuracy of NEFDS and Radiance non-literal exploitation tools.

* Participate in data analysis TEMs along with NRFDS and/or Radiance contractors and NGA scientists to determine the validity of laboratory collected material signatures and

spectral/atmospheric models.

* Actively participate in Agile user engagement activities, including:

* Release planning events.

* Backlog grooming.

* Sprint planning meetings.

* Scrums.

* Working software demos.

* Acceptance criteria sign-off.

* Interface with NEFDS and Radiance scientists (including the Radiance Chief Scientist) to support the development of novel concepts for new non-literal exploitation capabilities inspired by the introduction of new sensors, mission partner products, and new research from NGA scientists, the IC community, and the broader scientific community.

* Prepare documentation required during the entire product development process including pre[1]solicitation (requirements documents, program briefing materials, white papers on new scientific concepts for non-literal exploitation tools) solicitation (RFP documents, source selection advisor reports), execution (Task orders, task order evaluation reports, scientific white papers, briefing packages, RFC documentation).

Required:

* M.S. degree in physics, engineering, or remote-sensing, or equivalent work experience.

* Experience in imaging and non-literal exploitation algorithms.

* Experience in multi-spectral imaging (including hyper-spectral and polarimetric imaging) and spectral exploitation algorithms.

* Experience in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and Ground Moving Target Indicator (GMTI) processing radar exploitation algorithms.

* Experience in developing algorithms for advanced geospatial-intelligence phenomenology's.

* Experience using AGITK thick-client, AEIA widgets and services, and NEFDS.

* Program Management Professional (PMP) or equivalent certification.

* Agile certifications (such as Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) or SAFe Agilist certification) or equivalent experience.

Desired:

* Ph.D. in physics, engineering, or remote-sensing.

* Detailed understanding of how the National Technical Means (NTM), commercial, and airborne imagery flows work within the NSG architecture and how the data is exchanged from one segment to another.

* Understand the geospatial intelligence mission and its' contributions to the IC and DoD.

* Familiarity with NGA dissemination and storage systems, to include IDS-D, NGL, STIL, IPL, and WARP

* Experience with the current NGA organizational structure, acquisition policies, and Configuration Management Process
