Remote Sensing Specialist

Want to help build the next generation of EO data management and processing infrastructure?

Arlula is seeking a remote sensing specialist enthusiastic about space and spatial technologies, to assist in building our infrastructure and GIS processing capabilities to service our customers’ needs.

This role will focus on the extension of our processing pipeline system, helping to develop and refine novel systems to model physical systems and implement these in software. This will involve research, planning and documenting new processing methods, as well as collaboration with our software team to implement these novel behaviours as part of our processing automation pipeline.

Some level of software development experience is expected, conventional python scripting is sufficient as a baseline and additional software development training will be available for interested applicants.
