IC communities.

You will play a critical role in designing, developing or enhancing, and

implementing cutting-edge software tools and algorithms for

hyperspectral data processing.

Your primary area of responsibility will be to research, develop, and

implement algorithms into functional software tools and plugins for

hyperspectral data. You will work with atmospheric correction

techniques, including QUAC, QUAC-LSP, FLAASH, and others, to enhance and

validate results across multiple algorithms. Collaboration with a highly

skilled team is key, as you will contribute to tools used across the

analytic community and ensure their accuracy and effectiveness.

Key Responsibilities:

- Conduct research on radiative transfer theory as it applies to

atmospheric correction for hyperspectral data.
