What You'll Do:

 * Evaluate and integrate new SAR sensors and platforms into existing data workflows, including sensors still in early development phases
 * Assess differences between new and existing sensors including data formats, metadata structures, and processing requirements and determine changes needed for downstream use
 * Pre-process, standardize, and tile imagery to specified formats and dimensions while preserving data integrity
 * Develop conversion models to transform data across imagery formats and coordinate systems, ensuring geospatial accuracy
 * Analyze image quality and sensor metadata to guide imagery acquisition and curation priorities
 * Build automated methods to manage and curate large imagery datasets, including integrating with external data sources via APIs
 * Support annotation workflows by identifying and flagging imagery containing objects of interest
 * Source complementary imagery from other sensors to support multi-modal analysis
 * Develop, test, and evaluate new algorithms and processing workflows using Python, MATLAB, or similar tools
 * Manage routine and ad-hoc imagery delivery operations
 * Communicate technical findings and capabilities to both technical and non-technical audiences
