Remote Sensing Scientist

POSTED: February 9, 2021
BUSINESS: GRYFN
POSITION TYPE: Full-time
START DATE: Immediate Availability

Seeking to hire a highly motivated scientist/engineer to support collection, analysis, and interpretation of remote sensing data acquired from multi-sensor aerial and ground-based platforms in agriculture. The successful candidate will support system calibration of remote sensing platforms with RGB/LiDAR/HS-VNIR/HS-SWIR/thermal cameras, processing, and analysis of remote sensing data.

The position also includes development, implementation, and evaluation of algorithms for analysis of multi-sensor data. Experience in development of interfaces for remote sensing and plant phenotyping data is desirable. The candidate will also engage with installation, calibration, and training of customers.
