What you would be doing
insar analysis
lidar change
python workflows
gis tools
technical reports
client consulting
- Stay informed on advancements in earth observation missions (e.g., Sentinel-1, NISAR) and remote sensing technologies to enhance service delivery.
- Serve as the companywide remote sensing expert, training and mentoring Project Managers (PMs), geological and geotechnical engineering technical staff, and marketing staff on capabilities and applications of remote sensing.
- Conduct advanced remote sensing analyses, specializing in InSAR time series analysis to monitor geological hazards such as landslides, subsidence, and erosion, with a secondary focus on LiDAR change detection for similar applications.
- Develop and optimize workflows using available software (e.g., Python, QGIS, ArcGIS Pro) and public datasets (e.g. Sentinel-1, USGS 3DEP lidar). Determine when specialized commercial software or imagery is required for project needs.
- Collaborate with current clients and project managers to assess the feasibility of implementing InSAR or other remote sensing methodologies and identify opportunities to integrate services into proposals for existing and new clients.
- Produce deliverables including technical reports, maps, data visualizations, code, and calculation packets to communicate findings to clients and internal teams.
- Perform occasional fieldwork, including geologic reconnaissance, mapping, or site investigations, which may require overnight travel within the U.S.
- Lead growth of our remote sensing services by presenting at conferences, engaging with clients, and partnering with internal teams to expand service offerings.

collaboration
- Advanced expertise in InSAR processing and time series analysis to identify and quantify ground surface movement extent, magnitude, and rates.
- 6 to 14 years of direct experience in areas noted above.
- Collaborative mindset, comfortable working across disciplines with geotechnical engineers, geologists, environmental scientists, GIS specialists, and software engineers.
- Experience using other remote sensing imagery (hyperspectral, thermal, soil moisture) and data collection (drone, terrestrial lidar) for engineering, geological, and environmental applications a plus.
- Proactive, adaptable, and comfortable working in ambiguous environments to develop a service line.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills, with enthusiasm for educating internal teams and clients on remote sensing applications and opportunities.
- Background in geotechnical/geological engineering, geology, or earth sciences, with an understanding of geological processes and hazards is required. Knowledge of geophysical methods and applications is a plus.
- PhD in remote sensing, geospatial sciences, geotechnical/geological engineering, geology, earth sciences, or a related field preferred OR a master’s degree required
- Strong skills with geospatial tools for data integration and map production, including open-source GIS/QGIS and/or ArcGIS Pro.
- Ability to evaluate when open-source tools and public datasets will provide sufficient value for clients versus when commercial software or imagery is needed.
- Ability to confidently serve as the organization’s leading remote sensing expert, representing S&W at conferences and client meetings.
- Experience with software engineering workflows for collaborative, distributed computing (e.g., GitHub) or willingness to learn them.
- Entrepreneurial spirit to identify and competitively pursue remote sensing opportunities for service line growth.
- Experience or working knowledge of LiDAR change detection for geological hazard monitoring and subsidence characterization.
- Up-to-date familiarity with current and forthcoming earth observation missions and their applications for providing marketable services to existing SW clients in geotechnical and environmental contexts.
