Overall Assignment Description:

Allen Integrated Solutions is seeking a highly skilled Subject Matter Expert in Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR) research engineering to support the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) in infrared sensing, space-based missile warning systems, data exploitation, and algorithm development. The ideal candidate will possess an extensive technical background in electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) systems, infrared phenomenology, OPIR data analysis, and remote-sensing software development. This role requires demonstrated experience working with complex sensor systems, leading the development and testing of advanced analytical capabilities, and collaborating with government, industry, and research partners on next-generation sensing technologies.

Responsibilities

Lead the prototyping and development of advanced OPIR data-processing algorithms and support their transition into operational environments.
Evaluate and troubleshoot data-processing pipelines, identify anomalies, and coordinate remediation strategies.
Support the development of white papers, technical documentation, and technology-transition plans.
Collaborate with research organizations, Department of Defense stakeholders, Intelligence Community organizations, and external agencies.

Required Qualifications

Active TS/SCI clearance.
Bachelor’s degree in computer engineering, physics, computer science, or a related technical field.
At least 15 years of experience in EO/IR algorithm development.
Advanced understanding of EO/IR signal processing, artificial intelligence and machine learning applications, and target-system phenomenology.
Detailed experience with OPIR data formats and processing pipelines.
Advanced Python development skills.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, including the ability to diagnose sensor-performance issues, data anomalies, and software problems.

Desired Qualifications

Direct experience performing OPIR analysis.
Master’s degree in computer engineering, physics, computer science, or a related technical field.
Experience collaborating with NGA, NASIC, or other Intelligence Community organizations.
