Role Overview

We are seeking a highly motivated Image Processing Engineer to design, develop, and optimize image processing algorithms for satellite remote sensing data. This role emphasizes sensor-aware image processing, image quality assessment, and geometric fidelity across Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and optical (MSI) imagery.

The ideal candidate possesses a strong foundation in classical and contemporary image processing techniques, a solid understanding of sensor physics and system performance metrics (e.g., MTF, SNR), and the ability to translate theoretical models into robust, production-grade algorithms.

Key Responsibilities

1. Remote Sensing Image Processing & Quality Analysis
- Design and implement image processing algorithms for SAR and optical satellite imagery.
- Analyze and optimize image quality metrics including Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), Modulation Transfer Function (MTF), radiometric resolution, contrast, and spatial resolution.
- Identify, evaluate, and mitigate sensor- and platform-induced artifacts, including noise, blur, aliasing, speckle, and distortions.




- Perform image enhancement, denoising, filtering, and resolution-preserving transformations tailored for remote sensing data characteristics.

2. Geometric Processing & Coregistration
- Develop and refine pipelines for geometric correction, georeferencing, orthorectification, and multi-sensor coregistration.
- Address geometric distortions caused by sensor models, platform motion, terrain relief, and imaging geometry.
- Collaborate with Calibration and Validation (Cal/Val) teams to evaluate geometric accuracy and ensure image quality consistency across datasets.

3. Sensor Characterization & Performance Understanding
- Apply sensor models and system-level concepts to image formation and processing workflows.
- Analyze the effects of MTF, SNR, sampling theory, and noise models on downstream products such as image fusion and analytics.
- Support payload and mission teams with image-based p
