Full Description

Job Description

The Image Analyst will be an important member of the Data Operations team, responsible for the Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC) of GalaxEye’s Earth Observation (EO) data products. The role involves detailed inspection and validation of raw and processed SAR, MSI, and SyncFused datasets to ensure the highest radiometric, geometric, and thematic accuracy before customer delivery.

Shift Requirement: May be required to work in rotational shifts depending on operational needs.

Key Responsibilities

Quality Assurance and Control (QA/QC)

SAR Data

Perform visual and quantitative checks to identify artifacts, calibration issues, or geometric distortions.

MSI (Optical) Data

Perform QC checks for cloud cover, haze, sensor noise, and atmospheric correction quality. Verify band-to-band registration accuracy. Assess orthorectification and geometric accuracy against reference data.

SyncFused (SAR + MSI) Products

Inspect fused outputs to ensure coherence and seamless integration of SAR and optical data. Identify and document artifacts introduced during the fusion process.

Process Management

Use internal software tools and automated scripts for routine QC monitoring and metric generation. Maintain QA/QC logs, anomaly reports, and correction status databases. Documentation & Collaboration Work closely with Data Processing Engineers and Cal/Val teams to resolve data anomalies. Prepare detailed quality reports summarizing issues, performance metrics, and required reprocessing. Contribute to improvements in QA/QC workflows and standards.

Requirements

Required Qualifications (Entry-Level / Fresher-Friendly)

Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Remote Sensing, Geoinformatics, GIS, Geophysics, Electrical Engineering, or related analytical fields.

Core Knowledge: Understanding of EO principles, image processing basics, and coordinate systems/geodesy.

Software Proficiency: Hands-on experience with GIS and remote sensing tools such as QGIS, ArcGIS, SNAP, or ENVI.

Technical Skills: Basic programming or scripting (Python, MATLAB) is highly desirable.

Mindset: Strong attention to detail, good organization, and a systematic approach to problem-solving.

Desired Skills (Bonus)

Familiarity with SAR concepts (polarization, interferometry). Experience in data calibration, validation, or QA-related academic/professional work. Interest in learning satellite technologies and processing workflows.
