Job Type: Full-Time Nomina based job Opportunity

Location: 100% Remote in Mexico

Job Description:

"""We have an urgent requirement for a Data Scientist, preferably with Space Tech experience but not mandatory.# Data Scientist preferably with specialization in Geospatial / Remote Sensing
About the role We are building a satellite-based early-warning system that detects wind-driven sand encroachment and pipeline displacement across a desert pipeline network, using Sentinel-1 (SAR) and Sentinel-2 (optical) imagery, foundation models, and physical dune-migration modelling. You will own the detection and calibration science: turning raw satellite passes into calibrated, validated alerts against real field-logged events.
What you will do - Build and calibrate change-detection and anomaly models on multi-temporal Sentinel-1/2 imagery over pipeline corridors. - Learn per-site """"normal terrain"""" baselines and validate detections against a ground-truth event log (detection rate, lead time, false-positive rate, AUC).



- Fine-tune geospatial foundation models (Prithvi-EO / 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.
Required -7+ years applied data science / ML, with hands-on **geospatial remote sensing**. - Strong Python: numpy, rasterio/GDAL, xarray, scikit-image, geopandas/shapely. - Working knowledge of **optical and SAR** data (spectral indices, backscatte
