Fine-tune geospatial foundation models (Prithvi-EO or similar) with LoRA/PEFT on limited labelled data.Implement SAR techniques for displacement: amplitude change, coherence, and pixel-offset tracking to measure pipe and dune movement.Develop dune-migration tracking (optical flow / feature tracking), migration direction, and mobility indices.Engineer robust ingestion from Copernicus (CDSE / Sentinel Hub / STAC) and fuse optical, SAR, DEM, and ERA5 wind data.Design labelling strategy (encroachment masks, severity) and a train/validation split that avoids leakage.Communicate results and limitations honestly to technical and business stakeholders.Your Profile (Requirements) 7+ years of applied data science / ML experience, with hands-on geospatial remote sensing .
Strong Python programming skills, including numpy, rasterio/GDAL, xarray, scikit-image, and geopandas/shapely.Working knowledge of optical and SAR data (spectral indices, backscatter/dB, resolution trade-offs, revisit).
Deep learning expertise with PyTorch , including experience fine-tuning models (transfer learning, LoRA/PEFT).
Proven ability in model validation and calibration: ROC/AUC, thresholding, cross-validation, and handling weak/few labels.Experience with time-series / change-detection methods and coordinate reference systems (UTM, reprojection).
High-Performance Mindset: Resilience, emotional intelligence, and a focus on agile delivery.Technologist DNA:



A deep understanding of the difference between "coding" and "engineering."Desired Experience with InSAR / SAR offset tracking (SNAP, ISCE, or equivalent) for surface/structure displacement.Familiarity with geospatial foundation models (Prithvi-EO, TerraTorch, HLS) and segmentation.Knowledge of Copernicus/CDSE, Sentinel Hub, STAC, and Planetary Computer.Exposure to Aeolian geomorphology, dune dynamics, or the oil gas / pipeline-integrity domain.Experience with MLOps and cloud environments (containerisation, scheduled inference, geospatial data pipelines).
MSc/PhD in Remote Sensing, Geospatial Science, Earth Observation, CS/ML, Physics, or equivalent experience.Familiarity with cloud-native foundations or AI coding assistants.Languages Advanced Oral English: For seamless collaboration with global teams.Advanced Spanish.Special Notes Preference for candidates with Space Tech experience, though not mandatory.Work Arrangement We value flexibility to support your lifestyle.This position is available as: Remote .
