Pir space and mission analysis (spam) analyst

What Impact You'll Have

Deliver space and missile-related OPIR analysis and production that directly informs NASIC's scientific and technical intelligence mission for the USAF, DoD, and national-level intelligence customers.

Provide the phenomenology-based tradecraft that turns raw OPIR sensor data into authoritative intelligence on foreign space and missile activity.

Support both standard production threads and in-depth Space and Mission (SpaM) analytical efforts, contributing technical depth that differentiates NASIC's intelligence products.

Apply signature modeling and target phenomenology expertise to strengthen the community's understanding of electro-optical and infrared target behavior.

What You'll Be Owning

Perform OPIR processed data analysis and production in support of assigned production threads, applying knowledge of remote sensing fundamentals, detection phenomenology, and target phenomenology relevant to each thread.

For In-Depth SpaM Analytical Support: apply detailed knowledge of OPIR sensor phenomenology, remote sensing fundamentals, detection phenomenology, and target phenomenology to produce higher-fidelity, more technically rigorous analysis.

Analyze electro-optical (EO) and infrared (IR) target phenomenology to characterize and assess space and missile events.

Apply community standard signature modeling codes to support target characterization and phenomenology assessments.

Conduct OPIR data analysis and production tied to specific mission threads, ensuring outputs meet NASIC and mission partner requirements.

Translate sensor phenomenology and modeling results into clear analytic products, assessments, and briefings for technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Coordinate with sensor operations, PIR exploitation, and other production teams to ensure consistency and technical accuracy across OPIR-derived intelligence products.

Maintain and apply current knowledge of evolving OPIR sensor systems, signature modeling tools, and phenomenology research relevant to assigned production threads.

What You Must Have

• Active TS/SCI clearance (or ability to obtain/transfer) — required to start.
• Bachelor's degree in a related technical/scientific field (Physics, Engineering, Remote Sensing, Astronomy, or similar), or equivalent experience/military-DoD training in lieu of degree.
• 5+ years of relevant experience.
• Knowledge and experience in OPIR processed data analysis and production.
• Understanding of remote sensing fundamentals and detection phenomenology.
• Understanding of target phenomenology relevant to space and missile production threads.
• Strong analytic writing and briefing skills, with ability to produce and present technical intelligence products to NASIC leadership and mission partners.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively across cross-functional production teams in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment.
• SIPRNet/JWICS experience and familiarity with multi-INT fusion workflows.

What Would Be Nice to Have

• Detailed knowledge and experience in OPIR sensor phenomenology, suitable for In-Depth SpaM Analytical Support roles.
• Significant experience with community standard signature modeling codes for EO/IR target phenomenology.
• Prior experience supporting NASIC, MDA, or another national intelligence/DoD space and missile analysis mission.
• Advanced degree (MS) in a relevant technical or scientific discipline.
• Familiarity with additional exploitation and modeling tools common to OPIR/GEOINT/MASINT production environments (e.g., ArcGIS, ENVI, SOCET GXP, MATLAB, or similar).
• Prior work on a NOVASTAR, ATEP II, or similar NASIC-supporting contract vehicle.
