Technical SETA SME - Imagery Science

Position Overview: Advanced sensing and imagery-science SETA SME supporting EO/IR, RF/microwave sensing, signal processing, sensor test/evaluation, and multidisciplinary R&D execution.

What You’ll Do: Provide technical SETA/SME support aligned to the specialty area and evaluate technical approaches, risks, progress, and results. Translate complex technical information into actionable recommendations and program artifacts for R&D stakeholders. Support program planning, technical assessment, milestone tracking, and cross-disciplinary coordination where required by the role. Prepare to communicate technical work clearly during Guidehouse/customer evaluation, including a short technical seminar.

Required Qualifications: ACTIVE and MAINTAINED TS/SCI Federal or DoD security clearance with a polygraph. Bachelor’s degree in computer science, applied physics, electrical engineering, systems engineering, or related technical field. A Master’s may be used in lieu of TWO (2) years of relevant work experience. SIX (6)+ years of working experience. Comprehensive understanding of EO/IR systems standards, procedures, and practices. Expertise with microwave, VHF, UHF, or infrared wavelength systems. Experience developing, implementing, testing, or analyzing signal-processing, optimization, or ML algorithms. Experience or equivalent education using advanced-sensing test/measurement equipment such as spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, RF test platforms, wireless communications testbeds, biometric sensor test systems, or COTS sensing devices. Experience or equivalent education involving telecommunications systems, RF sensing, signal processing, biometric sensing modalities, and/or advanced sensor-system design/evaluation. Experience managing a multidisciplinary R&D or T&E team. Experience creating program plans, work breakdown structures, and milestone schedules. Desired /

Nice to Have: Master’s or PhD in listed/relevant technical field with FOUR (4)+ years of work experience. FOUR (4) years with LabVIEW, Python, MATLAB, C/C++, embedded systems software, or similar sensing/data-analysis/experimental-automation tools. TWO (2) years IC experience including requirements, CONOPS, and transition. Awareness of supply-chain, security, and integration considerations for COTS sensing technologies, telecommunications hardware, and RF components.
