*About the Role - Geospatial Engineer (SAR)*
*Key Responsibilities*
* Process and analyze SAR and InSAR datasets for geospatial and Earth-observation applications * Develop, maintain, and optimize Python-based workflows for SAR data processing and automation * Perform SAR preprocessing tasks including calibration, georeferencing, co-registration, and terrain correction * Conduct InSAR time-series analysis for ground deformation and surface-movement monitoring * Apply polarimetric SAR techniques such polarimetric decompositions, scattering matrix to extract physical information * Integrate SAR processing pipelines into cloud-based environments (Azure) * Collaborate with data scientists, software engineers, and domain experts to deliver scalable and robust solutions * Document processing methodologies, assumptions, and technical workflows clearly
*Essential Skills & Experience*
* Minimum requirement of a Master's degree in Geospatial Engineering, Remote Sensing, Geomatics, Earth Observation, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related discipline * Proven hands-on experience working with SAR data * Strong theoretical and practical experience in InSAR techniques, including time-series analysis * Experience with polarimetric SAR analysis (single, dual, or quad polarization) * Demonstrated experience using GAMMA SAR software * Experience or strong familiarity with Python for data processing, automation, and workflow development * Solid understanding of SAR preprocessing workflows, including: * Georeferencing and co-registration * Radiometric calibration and correction * Speckle filtering * Terrain correction and geocoding * Experience working with cloud platforms, preferably Microsoft Azure
*Additional Desirable Attributes*
* Experience with additional SAR software such as GMTSAR, or similar toolchains * Familiarity with SAR missions and datasets including Sentinel-1, TerraSAR-X, Capella, ICEYE, or other commercial SAR platforms
