Technical SETA SME - Imagery Science

Technical SETA SME – Imagery Science

Position Overview

Advanced sensing and imagery-science SETA SME supporting EO/IR, RF/microwave sensing, signal processing, sensor test/evaluation, and multidisciplinary R&D execution.

What You’ll Do

·       Provide technical SETA/SME support aligned to the specialty area and evaluate technical approaches, risks, progress, and results.

·       Translate complex technical information into actionable recommendations and program artifacts for R&D stakeholders.

·       Support program planning, technical assessment, milestone tracking, and cross-disciplinary coordination where required by the role.

·       Prepare to communicate technical work clearly during Guidehouse/customer evaluation, including a short technical seminar.

Required Qualifications 

·       ACTIVE and MAINTAINED TS/SCI Federal or DoD security clearance with a polygraph.

·       Bachelor’s degree in computer science, applied physics, electrical engineering, systems engineering, or related technical field. A Master’s may be used in lieu of TWO (2) years of relevant work experience.

·       SIX (6)+ years of working experience.

·       Comprehensive understanding of EO/IR systems standards, procedures, and practices.

·       Expertise with microwave, VHF, UHF, or infrared wavelength systems.

·       Experience developing, implementing, testing, or analyzing signal-processing, optimization, or ML algorithms.

·       Experience or equivalent education using advanced-sensing test/measurement equipment such as spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, RF test platforms, wireless communications testbeds, biometric sensor test systems, or COTS sensing devices.

·       Experience or equivalent education involving telecommunications systems, RF sensing, signal processing, biometric sensing modalities, and/or advanced sensor-system design/evaluation.

·       Experience managing a multidisciplinary R&D or T&E team.

·       Experience creating program plans, work breakdown structures, and milestone schedules.

Desired / Nice to Have

·       Master’s or PhD in listed/relevant technical field with FOUR (4)+ years of work experience.

·       FOUR (4) years with LabVIEW, Python, MATLAB, C/C++, embedded systems software, or similar sensing/data-analysis/experimental-automation tools.

·       TWO (2) years IC experience including requirements, CONOPS, and transition.

·       Awareness of supply-chain, security, and integration considerations for COTS sensing technologies, telecommunications hardware, and RF components.
