Near Space Labs is revolutionizing earth imaging through their innovative fleet of stratospheric robots. Operating at altitudes between 40,000 and 60,000 feet, their proprietary balloon-based imaging systems capture petabytes of high-quality imagery for diverse applications. They're seeking a Senior Photogrammetrist/Image Processing Engineer to lead the evolution of their petabyte-scale geospatial imagery pipeline.
The role combines advanced technical expertise in photogrammetry, remote sensing, and image processing with practical software engineering skills. You'll be responsible for developing sophisticated bundle adjustment algorithms, building robust orthorectification pipelines, and implementing various image correction techniques. Working closely with software engineers and flight vehicle teams, you'll help integrate these solutions into production systems while contributing to sensor design and calibration.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a dynamic startup environment where you'll play a crucial role in advancing cutting-edge technology. The position offers competitive compensation ($150,000-$250,000) and comprehensive benefits, including equity opportunities. As part of an international, motivated team, you'll tackle unique technical challenges while contributing to the company's mission of revolutionizing earth observation technology.
The ideal candidate brings 10+ years of experience, strong Python skills, and deep expertise in photogrammetric processing and remote sensing. You'll work remotely with a diverse, inclusive team committed to building unique technologies and finding novel solutions to complex problems.
