Calibration Software Engineer, Geometry

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in California.

📋 Description

• Execute on-orbit geometric calibration for new FireSat satellites during their commissioning phase.

• Conceive and implement geometric calibration for multispectral infrared imagery derived from Muon's infrared missions, encompassing camera geometry modeling and geolocation calibration.

• Create and apply geolocation calibration algorithms to validate and enhance on-orbit pointing accuracy.

• Persistently enhance geospatial processing algorithms, including bundle adjustment, orthorectification, and atmospheric corrections.

• Investigate and establish metrics for improving geometric accuracy, image registration, and spatial data quality.

• Implement and manage production pipelines for geometric calibration and geospatial data processing.

• Produce production-ready code.

• Collaborate across teams and within Muon to design, construct, and sustain operational services stemming from Muon's core remote sensing missions.

• Acquire knowledge on new topics as necessary (measurement techniques, geospatial data engineering, software engineering, and customer domain-specific implications).

⛳️ Requirements

• PhD with over 5 years of experience in a relevant field (remote sensing, photogrammetry, geodesy, astronomy, physics, or a related area); or MS with more than 8 years of industry experience; or BS with over 10 years of industry experience.

• Practical experience with the geometric calibration of imaging instruments.

• Profound understanding of remote sensing science and photogrammetric processing, including bundle adjustment and orthorectification.

• Strong mathematical capabilities, especially in geometry, linear algebra, and statistics.

• Exceptional proficiency in Python-based development and analysis.

• Ability to collaborate effectively with a distributed, interdisciplinary team (scientists, engineers, data support).

• Capacity to excel in a dynamic startup environment.
