NGA Marketing MessageThe National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), the World Leader in Geospatial Intelligence.

Imagine being able to identify anything on, above, or beneath the Earth's surface and display that information visually to provide a meaningful foundation for decision-making to ensure the safety of the world.

That's the job of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.

We analyze imagery and data from many sources and incorporate it into visual displays of essential information for use in national defense, homeland security, and safety of navigation.

Central to the success of our mission are the extraordinary talents and skills of our teams of analysts and other professionals.

We need the best minds to provide the information edge, continuing NGA's role as the premier provider of Geospatial Intelligence worldwide.

Know the World, Show the Way...

from Seabed to SpaceAssignment DescriptionASSIGNMENT DESCRIPTION:
Spectral Imagery Scientists process, analyze, and exploit spectral imagery to extract intelligence and geospatial information. They collaborate with analysts to understand intelligence issues and provide scientific results to conduct intelligence production. They develop, test, and evaluate prototypes; and provide technical guidance to enhance spectral imaging capability, applicability, and collection. They represent NGA's interests to support the development and improvement of sensors and system architecture.

Promotion OpportunityPROMOTION OPPORTUNITY:
Promotion opportunities allow applicants at all band levels to be considered. Qualifications for NGA positions do not include specific time-in-band requirements.

NGA will emphasize quality of experience, rather than duration, and assess how the quality of the experience demonstrates possession of the knowledge, skills, abilities, and competencies necessary for successful job performance in the NGA occupational structure.

Additional InformationLIDAR/3D IMAGERY SCIENTISTS:

Conduct scientific analysis on point cloud, mesh, and elevation data to extract geospatial intelligence, and provide technical guidance to enhance lidar and other 3D imaging capabilities, collection, and intelligence production.

Physical requirements include; Near visual acuity of 20/20 or better with or without corrective lenses. Ability to distinguish principal colors and shades/hues of principal colors.

OPIR IMAGERY SCIENTISTS:
