Responsible for processing satellite imagery data to ensure quality and enable its use across various sectors.
Обязанности
- Image Quality Support (IQS) makes sure Planet's imagery meets that bar. We sit between imaging operations, satellite operations, software engineering, and the business — close enough to engineering to build our own tools, close enough to customers to know what "quality" means to them.
- We're looking for a Satellite Data Processing Engineer to help assess and automate imagery quality across Planet's satellite fleet. You'll split your time between hands-on visual QA and writing the software that scales it — a hybrid of remote-sensing know-how and software engineering, building up both with guidance from senior teammates.
- This is a full-time, hybrid role which will require you to work from our Berlin office 3 days per week.
Требования
- 2+ years of relevant experience.
- Bachelor’s degree in geoinformatics, geomatics, remote sensing, or a closely related field.
- A working understanding of optical remote sensing fundamentals.
- Solid Python skills: comfortable with version control, code review, and writing more than one-off scripts.
- Exposure to QGIS or Python geospatial libraries (e.g. GDAL, rasterio, shapely).
- Basic SQL / database familiarity.
- Clear written communication: you can explain a technical finding to a non-specialist.
- Germany GmbH is authorized to receive U.S. export-controlled information at Planet under an export license issued by the Bureau of Industry and Security. This position requires access to U.S. and German/EU export-controlled information, and as such, employment (or hiring of a contractor) is contingent upon the candidate’s ability to access all applicable export-controlled information without additional export licensing being required by German, EU, or U.S. authorities.
