GEOINT Source Throughput Analyst

GEOINT COLLECTION · SOURCE INTEGRATION · SENIOR

New capabilities are only valuable if they actually make it into operations. As a GEOINT Source Throughput Analyst, you are the bridge between emerging collection architecture and operational reality — synchronizing mission requirements, building relationships across the intelligence community and key source stakeholders, and leading the integration work that ensures new and modified capabilities land in operations without gaps, conflicts, or redundancies.

Role Overview

The GEOINT Source Throughput Analyst applies deep TCPED experience to synchronize mission requirements, prevent redundancies, and lead integration activities as new or modified collection capabilities transition into operations. You develop and sustain mission relationships across the intelligence community, DoD, and key mission stakeholders to support future architecture, while also managing large multi-source datasets, developing automated collection strategies, and working alongside data scientists to apply inferencing approaches. This role requires sustained multi-tasking across a complex multi-location program management environment and the ability to ensure new capabilities are properly fielded and operationally effective.

A Day in the Life

• ✓Synchronize mission requirements across stakeholders — identifying redundancies, surfacing conflicts, and reviewing priorities for tasking of traditional and non-traditional GEOINT sources
• ✓Lead teams executing integration activities to ensure new or modified capabilities from National assets transition into operations properly and without service disruption
• ✓Develop and sustain mission relationships across the intelligence community and DoD; build and maintain relationships with key mission stakeholders to inform and support future collection architecture
• ✓Manage large multi-source datasets: sense-make across feeds, assess model output confidence and reliability metrics, and apply findings to collection and integration decisions
• ✓Develop automated collection strategies and collaborate with data scientists applying inferencing methodologies that derive insights from temporal and spatial datasets
• ✓Multi-task across simultaneous operational demands in a program management and professional environment supporting several geographically separated client locations

Why This Role Matters

Core Responsibilities

• ▸Synchronize mission requirements to prevent redundancies, identify conflicts, and review priorities for tasking of traditional and non-traditional GEOINT sources
• ▸Ensure new or modified capabilities from National assets are transitioned into operations properly; lead teams executing integration activities
• ▸Develop and sustain mission relationships across the intelligence community and DoD; build relationships with key mission stakeholders to support future architecture development
• ▸Apply full TCPED lifecycle expertise to support real-time and activity-based collection across a geographically distributed operational environment
• ▸Manage and sense-make large multi-source datasets; assess model output confidence and reliability metrics to inform tasking and integration decisions
• ▸Develop automated collection strategies; collaborate with data scientists applying inferencing methodologies that derive insights from temporal and spatial datasets
• ▸Navigate government focus areas and collection management structures; leverage IC collaborative tools for GEOINT collection, production, and visualization

Required Qualifications

• ✓TS/SCI clearance with polygraph
• ✓Minimum 10 experience points required (see experience point calculation below)
• ✓HS diploma or GED
• ✓5+ years of experience with TCPED of GEOINT data, including support to real-time and activity-based collection
• ✓5+ years of experience managing large multi-source data, sensemaking, assessing metrics associated with model output confidence/reliability, developing automated collection strategies, and working with data scientists
• ✓Knowledge of traditional and developing overhead sensors and capabilities; exposure to automated collection strategies and inferencing methodologies deriving insights from temporal and spatial datasets
• ✓Experience with government focus areas and collection management structures, including government/intelligence community collaborative tools for GEOINT collection, production, and visualization
• ✓Ability to develop and sustain mission relationships across the intelligence community and DoD; ability to build relationships with key mission stakeholders to support future architecture
• ✓Ability to synchronize mission requirements to prevent redundancies, identify conflicts, and review priorities for tasking of traditional and non-traditional GEOINT sources
• ✓Ability to ensure new or modified capabilities from National assets are transitioned into operations properly and to lead teams executing integration activities
• ✓Experience multi-tasking across day-to-day operations in a program management environment spanning multiple geographically separated client locations

Experience Point Requirement

This is a Senior-level (Level 4) position requiring a minimum of 10 experience points. Points are calculated as follows:

• Education: Associate's = 2 pts  ·  Bachelor's = 3 pts  ·  Master's = +2 pts  ·  PhD = +3 pts
• Professional / Military Experience: 1 pt per year of relevant experience
• Certifications: 0.5 pts each
• Specialized Training: 0.25 pts per relevant course
• Professional Impact (publications, presentations, patents): up to 3 pts total

What Makes Someone Successful in This Role

• ▸You think in integration — you see how a new capability lands in operations, what it conflicts with, and what has to change before it can be effective
• ▸You build relationships that outlast a program — your network across the intelligence community, and source stakeholders is a genuine professional asset, not a contact list
• ▸You synchronize without bureaucratizing — you prevent conflicts and redundancies by surfacing them early and resolving them through relationships and judgment, not process overhead
• ▸You bridge technical and operational worlds — you can work alongside data scientists on inferencing models and translate the results into collection and tasking decisions
• ▸You lead under operational pressure — you coordinate distributed teams across multiple locations and keep integration work moving even when the requirements change mid-stream

Is This Role For You?

Career Growth & Professional Value

This role builds a rare combination of deep TCPED operational experience and future architecture influence — putting you at the table when decisions about next-generation collection capabilities are made. The NGA, IC, and mission stakeholder relationships you develop here are some of the most valuable in the GEOINT enterprise, and the integration and synchronization skills you sharpen are in demand at every level of national GEOINT leadership.
