We are looking for a Remote Sensing Specialist to join our team and support geospatial data analysis and interpretation using satellite, aerial, and drone imagery. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in remote sensing technologies, image processing, and GIS applications. You will work closely with scientists, engineers, and decision-makers to provide actionable insights derived from remotely sensed data.
As a Remote Sensing Specialist, you will be responsible for acquiring, processing, and analyzing data from various remote sensing platforms. You will apply advanced image processing techniques, including classification, change detection, and feature extraction, to support projects in environmental monitoring, agriculture, urban planning, disaster response, and more. Your work will contribute to the development of innovative solutions that address real-world challenges through the use of geospatial intelligence.
You should be proficient in using remote sensing software such as ENVI, ERDAS Imagine, and open-source tools like QGIS and SNAP. Experience with programming languages such as Python or R for geospatial analysis is highly desirable. A strong understanding of sensor technologies, including multispectral, hyperspectral, LiDAR, and radar systems, is essential.
This role requires excellent analytical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate complex technical information to non-technical stakeholders. You will also be expected to stay current with emerging trends and technologies in the field of remote sensing and geospatial science.
If you are passionate about leveraging remote sensing data to solve complex problems and have a strong technical foundation, we encourage you to apply and become part of our dynamic and innovative team.
