- This position requires US Permanent Residency or US Citizenship.
Desired Qualifications:
- Ability to support airborne instrument campaigns as an instrument operator. It is desired that a candidate have the interest, physical ability, and necessary medical status to become cleared for airborne work.
- Masters degree in physics, GIS, electrical engineering or similar field of study.
- Remote sensing experience, especially with microwave data.
- Experience with airborne instrument datasets.
- Some Python experience is desired, but not required.
- NCCS computing experience is desirable.
EOE, including disability/vets
