Data Scientist (EO and SAR)

===============================

NGA MAVEN PROGRAM · EO/SAR · AI/ML DATA SCIENCE · SENIOR

*Overhead imagery doesn't label itself — and machine learning models don't build themselves from random data. As the Senior Data Scientist on NGA Maven, you'll bring statistical rigor, geospatial expertise, and software capability together to ensure the EO and SAR data that feeds Maven's models is selected, processed, and partitioned for maximum analytical value.*ROLE OVERVIEW -----------------

The Data Scientist performs data analysis via statistical and quantitative methods, develops visualizations to support decision making, and develops software to enable thorough monitoring and management of data pipeline tasks. You'll lead the design and application of methods to identify, collect, process, and analyze large volumes of EO and SAR imagery data — integrating emerging sensors, evaluating training/test/validation data splits, and building the curation and labeling tools that keep Maven's model pipeline moving.

SOURCE-DERIVED ROLE SUMMARY

The Data Scientist shall perform data analysis via statistical and quantitative methods, develop visualizations to support decision making, and develop software to enable thorough monitoring and management of data pipeline tasks. Position supports EO and SAR sensor modalities on the NGA Maven program.A DAY IN THE LIFE ---------------------

• ✓Conduct analysis of Maven data holdings to evaluate impact on ML model development: assess data diversity, training/test/validation splits, and recommend partition strategies for effective model performance evaluation
• ✓Integrate emerging EO/SAR sensors into Maven pipelines — assessing metadata, format, and schema differences and building the ETL workflows to ingest new data
• ✓Build and maintain labeling campaign management tools: track unlabeled vs. labeled data, campaign status, and enable API-based t...
