Description
Orbital Sidekick (OSK) is seeking a Senior Geospatial Software Engineer to join the software engineering team building SIGMA, our system for processing imagery and delivering results to customers.  In this role you will design and code production data pipelines to calibrate, rectify, analyze and otherwise process hyperspectral imagery (HSI) from our GHOSt satellite constellation.  Additionally, you will work closely with our payload & analytics teams to bring research algorithms to the SIGMA platform. This is an implementation rather than a research or data science role.

Space is in our DNA. Orbital Sidekick (OSK) has a mission to leverage the untapped power of hyperspectral imagery to address global environmental, health, and safety needs while helping companies reach their sustainability goals. Orbital Sidekick is establishing a space-based infrastructure of HSI sensors and analytic capabilities to enable real-time monitoring, detection, and risk management.

What You'll Do

  • Implement image processing algorithms for an automated production environment
  • Build tools to manage & monitor the processing system and imagery catalog
  • Build APIs to make imagery & insights available to customers (both internal and external)
  • Collaborate with the product team to determine feature priorities
  • Collaborate with the satellite payload and analytics teams to implement new or improved image processing operations
  • Break down & plan features & services for incremental delivery

What You’ll Need To Succeed

  • 5+ years of experience writing geospatial code in Python
  • Extensive knowledge of GDAL, Rasterio, xarray, and other code libraries for handling raster data
  • Extensive knowledge of cloud computing deployments (e.g., AWS) and Linux environments
  • Experience with orchestration technologies (e.g., AWS Step Functions)
  • Experience with serverless compute (e.g., AWS Fargate and Lambda)
  • Experience writing code for a production environment
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Effective collaboration skills to work with a remote team

Experience That Will Give You an Advantage

  • Knowledge of imaging principles
  • Knowledge of remote sensing analytics, earth sciences and/or geography
  • Experience with machine learning
  • Experience with OGC APIs, STAC, or similar open source geospatial technologies
  • Experience with US government imagery requirements (e.g., NITF image format)
  • Experience with AWS CDK or CloudFormation
Orbital Sidekick is committed to building a community where everyone belongs and we invite people from all backgrounds to apply. We are an equal opportunity employer committed to providing employment opportunities regardless of race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, marital status, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, gender expression, pregnancy, age, military or veteran status, or any other protected classification, in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local laws.
