Job Description
[AI-summarized by JobStash]
You will join the IR Data Products team to build Orthomosaic Tile products spanning two core missions. In the near term, you'll dive deep into real-world data from a brand new system, writing production-ready code that feeds directly into customer-facing services for the FireSat Initial Operating Capability constellation. In parallel, you'll ramp up on the Space-Based Environmental Monitoring program, leading early product design for the SBEM granule product, authoring technical and customer-facing design documentation, and owning stakeholder engagement. Looking ahead to 2027 and the SBEM launch, you'll serve as the full product owner for the SBEM granule product. You'll work at the intersection of rigorous Earth observation science and fast-moving product development, collaborating across teams while doing deep technical work.
