• 2+ years of relevant experience, to include: working in production teams; knowledge of and experience with digital cartography, image processing, and computer technology; and knowledge of geographic information systems, geospatial production techniques, and digital data formats within a military or Intelligence Community environment.
• A minimum of two years of hands-on experience performing imagery analysis and exploitation of airborne SAR and/or LiDAR data against ground targets.
• Must be able to develop imagery-derived intelligence products that incorporate multiple sensor and data sources.
• Must have experience using geospatial exploitation and geolocation tools to detect, identify, and geolocate targets of interest.
• Must have previous experience producing time-sensitive intelligence reports.
• Must be able to communicate analytic assessments clearly and succinctly, both written and orally.
• Familiarity with the SOUTHCOM AOR.
• Familiarity with airborne ISR sensor systems, including SAR and/or LiDAR mission payloads. 

Preferred Skills

• Previous geospatial data production experience (in particular, experience with large Government Agency geospatial and cartographic data, products, and services), especially the exploitation of feature and terrain data derived from airborne SAR, LiDAR, or satellite imagery and other sources.
• NGA GEOINT Professional Certification (GPC) or GISP is a plus.
• Spanish language proficiency is a plus, given the SOUTHCOM AOR.
