## About the role

Responsibilities:
- Research, prototype and productionize ML/DL models for hyperspectral remote sensing tasks (classification, detection, segmentation, regression, anomaly detection).
- Develop image pre‑processing, radiometric/atmospheric correction, tiling and feature‑engineering pipelines for hyperspectral data.
- Build robust, testable Python codebases and training/inference pipelines (unit/integration tests, containerization, CI/CD).
- Curate and manage datasets: ingestion, labeling strategies, augmentation and metadata management for large geospatial corpora.
- Optimize model training and inference for CPU/GPU, including distributed training, batch inference and model compression when needed.
- Collaborate with product, engineering and domain experts to translate requirements into deployable analytics products and monitoring.
- Implement MLOps practices: experiment tracking, model/versioning, automated QA and model health / drift monitoring.

Requirements:
- Master’s degree (or equivalent) in Computer Science, Data Science, Remote Sensing / Geoinformatics, Electrical/Computer Engineering or related field.
- Strong Python engineering skills and hands-on experience with deep learning frameworks (PyTorch or TensorFlow).
- Practical experience with geospatial tools (GDAL, Rasterio, GeoPandas, PostGIS) and handling hyperspectral or multispectral imagery.
- Experience building data pipelines, experiment tracking and CI/CD for ML; familiarity with Docker, cloud compute or distributed frameworks (Dask, Spark) is a plus.
- Proven ability to write clean, typed code, perform model evaluation and productionize models with monitoring and QA.

## Responsibilities

Design, build, and deploy machine learning solutions to extract actionable insights from hyperspectral satellite imagery. Develop computer vision algorithms and robust data pipelines for remote sensing use cases such as classification and segmentation.

## Requirements

Requires a Master's degree in a technical field and strong proficiency in Python and deep learning frameworks. Must have demonstrated experience with geospatial tooling and remote sensing imagery.
