Lead InSAR Engineer

Responsibilities

• As Lead InSAR Engineer, you will take a leading technical role in complex projects and in the continued development of our processing capabilities.
• You understand the full InSAR processing chain, independently investigate challenging datasets and processing issues, and determine the right technical approach for different applications.
• Your main responsibilities You will work with our customers to find new ways to implement and integrate our data into geotechnical engineering practices.
• Experience with Python/software development, GNSS or surveying data, other remote-sensing techniques, or customer-facing technical projects is an advantage.
• Work at the technical core of SkyGeo’s InSAR technology, applying advanced remote sensing to real-world problems in mining, energy and civil engineering.
• Join an international team, take significant technical ownership and help shape the continued development of InSAR at scale.

Your Role

• & Impact We are looking for a senior technical authority with substantial hands-on InSAR expertise.
• You will be a key technical reference for colleagues across SkyGeo. The position is based in Delft, the Netherlands.

Your focus will be on

Take technical ownership of complex InSAR processing and analysis. · Process, model, analyse and visualise SAR/InSAR data. · Determine processing strategies for different datasets, environments and applications. · Identify, investigate and resolve complex processing and data-quality issues. · Contribute to improving SkyGeo’s InSAR algorithms and processing capabilities. · Provide expert technical input to customer projects and complex questions. · Review technical work and maintain high standards of InSAR quality. · Coach InSAR engineers and analysts and collaborate across Engineering, Consulting and Commercial teams.

What we’re looking for This is not an entry-level position. We need an established InSAR specialist who can independently solve technically challenging problems. · A PhD in remote sensing, geodesy, radar interferometry, geophysics, signal processing, engineering or a closely related field (mandatory). · Substantial hands-on SAR/InSAR processing and analysis experience, in research and/or industry. · Deep understanding of the advanced SAR/InSAR processing chain. · Strong practical knowledge of DInSAR, PSI and/or SBAS approaches. · Experience with coregistration, interferogram generation, phase unwrapping, atmospheric effects, time-series analysis and quality assessment. · Ability to diagnose complex processing problems and critically evaluate technical solutions. · Experience with different SAR sensors, acquisition geometries and datasets. · Strong scientific, quantitative and analytical skills. · Experience with GIS environments such as QGIS or ArcGIS. · Ability to communicate complex technical subjects clearly across disciplines.
