Henpen Corporation
Senior Imagery Applications Engineer Remote Sensing & Intelligence
Henpen Corporation, Vienna, Virginia, United States, 22184
Position: Senior Imagery Applications Engineer – Remote Sensing & Intelligence
Location: Virginia, USA Salary: $160,000–$200,000 Clearance: Active U.S. Top Secret (TS) required, SCI eligibility preferred Overview:
We are seeking a highly specialized
Imagery Applications Engineer
with deep experience in
COTS or GOTS imagery software development
for the
Department of Defense and Intelligence Community (IC) . This is
not a generic software engineering role . The ideal candidate has 5+ years of
hands-on experience building, deploying, or supporting imagery analysis tools —including NITF, FMV, LiDAR, HSI, and radar-based platforms—for defense and intelligence missions. You will be part of a cross-functional team developing software components, image processing capabilities, and geospatial tools that directly support mission-critical applications in remote sensing, photogrammetry, and ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance) operations. Key Responsibilities:
Design and develop imagery analysis capabilities using C++ or C# for defense/IC applications.
Implement and optimize image processing workflows for EO MS/HSI, SAR, LiDAR, TIR, FMV, and multisensor fusion.
Work with formats and standards including
NITF ,
TFRD , and
MISB-compliant FMV .
Integrate third-party or community libraries (e.g., AGITK, MSP) into software platforms.
Collaborate with users and analysts to translate mission requirements into deployable tools.
Assist with pipeline optimization and radiometric/geometric corrections for complex sensors.
Contribute to secure software development in classified environments.
Required Qualifications:
5+ years of professional experience in
imagery-focused software development
for COTS or GOTS tools.
Experience in the DoD or Intelligence Community
with imagery exploitation workflows.
Proficiency in
C++ or C# , with application to imagery processing or visualization.
Direct knowledge of
remote sensing ,
photogrammetry , or
imagery analysis systems .
Hands-on familiarity with tools like
ENVI ,
Socet GXP ,
RemoteView , or similar.
Working knowledge of
NITF ,
FMV , and related DoD/IC data formats.
Bachelor’s in computer science, remote sensing, geospatial sciences, or related technical field.
Active U.S. Top Secret clearance ; SCI eligibility strongly preferred.
Preferred Qualifications:
Master’s or PhD in remote sensing, computer science, or related field.
Experience with ArcGIS or Esri SDKs/APIs.
Expertise in imagery pipeline optimization and algorithm performance tuning.
Familiarity with data exploitation frameworks in classified environments.
Why This Role Stands Out:
You’ll have the opportunity to shape mission-critical imagery tools used by national security teams. This role is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of
imagery science and software engineering —not generalists, but domain experts who understand
sensor data, image analysis, and DoD/IC workflows.
