Senior Geospatial Engineer

Role & responsibilities

We are looking for a highly skilled Senior Geospatial Engineer with strong expertise in remote sensing, geospatial analytics, and Earth Observation (EO) data processing, with hands-on experience in Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI) and Thermal Infrared (TIR) datasets. You will play a key role in developing scalable geospatial intelligence solutions by processing multi-sensor satellite imagery and transforming complex Earth observation data into production-ready applications.

You will collaborate closely with software engineers, AI/ML engineers, and data scientists to design and deliver innovative geospatial products for environmental monitoring, agriculture, mining, disaster management, defence, and other Earth observation applications.

Your Expertise Includes

• Strong expertise in Remote Sensing and Geospatial Data Analysis
• Hands-on experience with Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI) and Thermal Infrared (TIR) data processing and interpretation
• Advanced knowledge of image preprocessing, calibration, atmospheric correction, and spectral analysis
• Experience with remote sensing software such as ENVI, ArcGIS, QGIS, SNAP, or similar platforms
• Strong programming skills in Python using geospatial libraries such as GDAL, Rasterio, NumPy, OpenCV, GeoPandas, and related frameworks
• Experience in raster and vector data processing, spatial analysis, and geospatial visualization
• Knowledge of Machine Learning and Deep Learning techniques for remote sensing applications
• Familiarity with satellite data formats, preprocessing workflows, and geospatial data pipelines
• Experience handling large-scale geospatial datasets in cloud environments (AWS preferred)
• Exposure to SAR, multispectral, or LiDAR datasets is an added advantage
• Knowledge of Geospatial AI, Foundation Models, or GenAI applications is a plus

Preferred candidate profile

• Minimum 5 years of industry experience in Remote Sensing, Geospatial Engineering, or Earth Observation

• Hands-on experience working with satellite imagery and Earth Observation datasets

• Experience processing and analysing hyperspectral and thermal infrared imagery

• Develop robust workflows for satellite data preprocessing, calibration, atmospheric correction, and quality assessment

• Develop solutions for applications including:

• Environmental monitoring

• Agriculture and precision farming

• Mineral exploration

• Thermal anomaly detection

• Urban analytics

• Disaster management

• Defence and intelligence

• Collaborate with AI/ML engineers to integrate geospatial models into production systems

• Optimise processing pipelines for large-scale satellite datasets

• Experience working in Agile product development environments

• Strong analytical thinking, research mindset, and problem-solving skills

• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with multidisciplinary teams

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Educational Qualification

• Master's degree (M.Tech/MS) in Remote Sensing, Geomatics, Geospatial Science, GIS, Earth Observation, or a related discipline
• PhD in Remote Sensing, Earth Observation, Geospatial Science, or related field is highly preferred
