## Description

Skyline is looking for a Remote Sensing Scientist to lead research, algorithm development, and advanced analytics for cutting-edge electro-optical and infrared sensing systems. This role applies physics-based modeling, image science, and data analytics to detect, track, locate, and characterize remote sensing targets. While familiarity with OPIR is valuable, the primary emphasis is on EO/IR phenomenology, sensor performance, and multi-platform remote sensing analytics in support of intelligence and defense missions., * Develop and utilize image processing workflows to support the analysis and exploitation of remote sensing data.

 * Create, implement, and evaluate algorithms based on scientific principles and technical requirements.
 * Perform research and analysis using data from a variety of remote sensing platforms and sensors.
 * Develop innovative image processing and data analysis techniques to address complex technical challenges.
 * Evaluate algorithm and system performance using established testing, validation, and assessment methods.
 * Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to develop technical solutions and support project objectives.
 * Prepare and present technical reports, briefings, presentations, and analytical findings to stakeholders.
 * Apply data analysis, modeling, and visualization techniques to support research, development, and operational activities.
