Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Lead the research and development of advanced algorithms for target detection, tracking, and characterization in OPIR and EO/IR systems. Analyze optical signature data and support the full TCPED process to provide technical intelligence insights for national security missions.
Requires a Bachelor's degree in a relevant science or engineering field and at least 5 years of hands-on experience with OPIR and EO/IR phenomenology. An active Top Secret clearance with the ability to obtain SCI and CI polygraph is mandatory.
GRVTY is looking for a Senior Scientist to support research, algorithm development, and advanced analytics for overhead persistent infrared and electro-optical/infrared sensing systems. This is a technically demanding role centered on OPIR phenomenology, optical signature characterization, and sensor performance analysis in direct support of national security missions at a Customer site in Herndon, Virginia.
You will work alongside algorithm engineers, data scientists, and intelligence analysts to develop and apply physics-based models, image science methods, and multi-platform remote sensing analytics. The work is fast-paced and mission-driven — requirements shift, collection windows are finite, and the analysis you produce informs real decisions. We are looking for someone who has done this work before, can operate with autonomy, and brings enough depth in OPIR to hit the ground running.
Pay Range: At GRVTY, we understand that compensation is influenced by many factors—such as geographic location, federal contract labor categories, wage rates, prior experience, skillsets, education, and certifications.
