Staff Geospatial Systems Engineer

In this role, you will drive geospatial data sourcing, automation, and tooling in an AI/ML pipeline for new applications. You will contribute to and own data research and sourcing, automating data preprocessing, and building tooling to export the geospatial data outputs of an AI/ML pipeline for use in building interactive applications. In this role, you’ll research and gather data for specific regions from different sources, including imagery and other raster data, vector data, and point clouds. You will find and acquire data from free/public domain sources, as well as form and maintain partnerships with commercial data providers. You will be responsible for ensuring the coverage, freshness, and quality of the sourced data. To prepare this data for AI/ML use, you’ll build and use automated tools (incorporating GDAL and in-house libraries) to clean, resize, reformat, and align it so it’s ready for our team to use. You will also be responsible for tooling to automatically postprocess the output of a geospatial AI/ML pipeline for use by other teams. This role involves working closely with different teams in our organization. You’ll partner with the AI/ML teams to supply diverse data they need for building new machine learning models, and with the Pipeline and Product teams to ensure they have the necessary data required.
