Career Center

Under general supervision work with a team of data/imagery scientists and computing engineers to design and implement solutions for geospatial big data that leverages open-source programming tools, cloud computing, and AI/ML to deliver data curation and analytics services to Taylor Geospatial Institute (TGI ) partners. The Geospatial Software Engineer will be involved with processing petabytes or even exabytes of data daily. Demonstrated experience in developing big data solutions for geospatial analysis with cloud computing and GPU applications are highly desired. The candidate is expected to work on diverse projects that require implementing complex solutions with a focus on collecting, parsing, managing, analyzing, and making available large sets of location-aware data (drone and satellite imagery, health data records, plant phenotypic data, and social media data) to turn it into meaningful information.

JOB DUTIES

• Develop image processing back-end code to support AL/ML and/or analysis software in a production environment to deliver imagery products

• Design and implement AI/ML, statistical, or physics-based algorithms to provide quality data analytics service to TGI partners

• Scaling algorithms with cloud computing with scalable APIs and associative architecture to support big data analytics

• Work with the team and customers in the design and execution of custom software packages including APIs, mobile apps

• Work collaboratively with the data analytics team, and carry out tasks such as field data collection, calibration, postprocessing, and analysis

REQUIRED KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND ABILITIES

• The software engineer would build the backend code to support these algorithms in production environment

• Demonstrated ability to design and implement machine learning algorithms for regression, detection/classification/segmentation problems with feature-based deep learning and end-to-end mapping/modeling with convolutional neural networks.

• A passion for geospatial programming, Remote Sensing, photogrammetry, photography, and Geography

• Solid background in machine learning and statistics

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

• Masters degree or higher degree in computer science, electronic/commuter engineering with a training focus in remote sensing or spatial analysis; geospatial science or geoinformatics with training focus in ML/AI. Postgraduate degree in earth science or geography with demonstrated work experience in geospatial data (imagery, location aware social or health data records) desired.

• Experience in cloud computing and GPU computing

• Minimum 3 years of experience in working with online platforms such as Jupiter, Github, and/or Google COLAB

• Experience writing production code in Python, Java, Java Script and scaling the code with cloud computing resources, e.g AWS

• Experience in developing software, API and apps for mobile devices

Applicants must include: 1) a cover letter; 2) a resume.  You can upload these items on the third page "My experience" of the application
