Advanced GEOINT Methodologist (TS/SCI)

Springfield, VA
Full Time
Mid Level
The future of GEOINT is not just about collecting more data, it is about improving how we process it, understand it, teach it, and apply it to real-world mission problems.

This is your chance to step into an Analytic Methodologist role to support the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency’s (NGA) Office of Science and Methodologies (ATS). This role is for a GEOINT professional who understands the operational mission, thinks critically about tradecraft, and wants to help shape how GEOINT capabilities evolve across the enterprise. You will work at the intersection of operational GEOINT, methodology development, advanced GIS, and training. You will work across traditional and non-traditional NTM capabilities, PED, workflows, advanced GIS applications, and GEOINT methodologies, assisting on transforming complex capabilities into practical workflows, repeatable tradecraft, and mission-ready guidance. The work is collaborative, technical, and mission-focused, requiring someone who can move comfortably between analysts, operators, technical experts, and leadership audiences. If you are someone who understands the mission behind the tools, someone who can identify gaps, improve workflows, communicate complex concepts clearly, and contribute to how GEOINT professionals operate in increasingly dynamic environments, join XTS today!

Requirements
  • Current active Top Secret / SCI clearance
  • You have achieved a bachelor’s degree in quantitative discipline with at least 4 years of advanced GIS experience.
  • You have experience of traditional and non-traditional NTM sensors in order to assist in evaluating evolving GEOINT capabilities and help integrate them into operational workflows.
  • Strong understanding of GEOINT Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination (PED) workflows and capabilities to develop methodologies and tradecraft that align with real operational environments.
  • You have strong proficiency with GEOINT COTS/GOTS tools including Maven Smart System, Map of the World, iSpy, and ArcGIS Pro to support the operational workflows and geospatial analysis activities central to the mission.
  • Ability to travel up to 30% CONUS and OCONUS to support mission and training engagements.


Desired
  • Experience researching and documenting unique or non-traditional NTM sensor capabilities
  • Experience supporting curriculum development or training in modernization efforts
  • Experience developing innovative GEOINT methodologies and workflow solutions

If you are someone who is naturally curious, operationally grounded, technically strong, and motivated by mission impact over routine production work, send your resume directly to Lanchi Lai at, ([email protected]).

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability
Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability Form CC-305

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
