Ball Aerospace is known for its contributions in support of space and Earth science, exploration, national security and intelligence programs.  We were also a pioneer in the development of the commercial remote sensing market, producing imaging systems and spacecraft that helped spawn a new market-driven demand for imagery.  Our projects offer some of the most difficult and exciting challenges in aerospace.

We employ approximately 3,000 talented engineers, scientists, technicians and support staff.  And one of the keys to our success is our people.  Our employees take great pride in their contributions to better understanding our planet and protecting the nation.

What You'll Do

• Perform complex Hyper- and multi-spectral data exploitation and analysis (with training) for the Measurement and Signatures Intelligence (MASINT)/Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) Division of the National Air & Space Intelligence Center (NASIC), Wright-Patterson AFB, OH.
• Analyze data for spectral projects in the application of remote sensing technology to solve military and intelligence problems.
• Work both independently and in a team environment, integrating the efforts of other analysts.
• Work may include possible shift work.
• It will also require integration of analytical results with other intelligence to obtain a complete understanding of a particular location or item of interest.
• The other intelligence can include, but not limited to, GIS information, SITREPs, and other INTs (ie. IMINT, COMINT, HUMINT, etc).
• The candidate will need to work in a dynamic environment at a government provided facility.

What You'll Need 

• BS in Science, Engineering or a related technical field is strongly preferred, plus 5 or more years experience.  Desired course work includes physics, engineering chemistry, remote sensing, electro-optics, geology, or mathematics.
• Broad knowledge of remote sensing phenomenology, imagery analysis, MASINT, GEOINT, AGI, and GIS.
• Ability to apply remote sensing techniques to intelligence problems is highly desired. 
• In addition to the typical educational and experience requirements, a demonstrated capability to adequately perform the essential functions and responsibilities of the position and exhibit the skills and competencies of the grade level should be considered. Each higher level degree, i.e. Master's degree or Ph.D. may substitute for two years of experience.  Related experience may be considered in lieu of education.
• The ideal candidate should have an extensive science background with emphasis on remote sensing and experience with intelligence products created for warfighter support. 
• The realistic candidate will have an open mind, a desire to learn, initiative, and be able to obtain a TS/SCI clearance.
