Sample interview questionsHow have you used EO/IR or OPIR data to assess sensor or target behavior?I begin by validating data quality, metadata, calibration assumptions, and collection context. I then apply phenomenology-informed analysis to isolate relevant signatures, compare results with expected sensor performance, and document confidence, limitations, and recommended follow-up actions.

Describe your approach to developing an algorithm for a new sensor-data exploitation problem.

I define the mission objective and measurable success criteria, characterize the available data, and build a reproducible baseline in Python or MATLAB. I test candidate approaches against representative scenarios, evaluate accuracy and robustness, then package the selected method with documentation, validation results, and operational considerations.

What steps would you take when an OPIR processing workflow produces anomalous results?

I would first reproduce the issue and trace inputs, configuration changes, intermediate outputs, and software logs. I would distinguish between data-quality, sensor, and algorithmic causes, test hypotheses using controlled cases, and coordinate remediation with the responsible engineering and mission teams.

How do you translate complex sensing findings into a CONOPS or technical white paper?

I tailor the message to the decision audience while preserving technical accuracy. I clearly describe the mission problem, assumptions, workflow, performance findings, risks, and recommended implementation or transition path, supported by concise visuals and traceable evidence.

How do you collaborate effectively across government, intelligence, industry, and research organizations?

I establish common objectives, handling constraints, interfaces, and decision criteria early. I communicate findings clearly, maintain disciplined documentation, solicit technical review, and ensure that recommendations are actionable for both operational users and development teams.
