What is aerial photogrammetry?

An Aerial Photogrammetry job involves capturing and analyzing aerial images to create maps, 3D models, and measurements of terrain, structures, or landscapes. Professionals in this field use drones, aircraft, or satellites equipped with cameras and sensors to gather geospatial data. They process and interpret the imagery using specialized software to support industries like surveying, construction, agriculture, and urban planning. The role requires expertise in remote sensing, GIS applications, and data analysis to ensure accurate and useful results.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed for aerial photogrammetry?

To thrive in Aerial Photogrammetry, you need strong skills in geospatial analysis, image interpretation, and a solid background in geography, surveying, or a related field. Familiarity with specialized software such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems), photogrammetric processing tools (e.g., Pix4D, Agisoft Metashape), and drone operation certifications are typically required. Excellent attention to detail, problem-solving abilities, and strong teamwork and communication skills help professionals excel in collaborative project environments. These competencies are crucial to ensure the accurate collection, processing, and interpretation of aerial data for mapping, surveying, and analysis projects.

What are some common challenges faced in aerial photogrammetry?

In aerial photogrammetry roles, professionals often encounter challenges related to variable weather conditions, site accessibility, and ensuring high data accuracy during image capture and processing. Handling and calibrating drones or other aerial equipment safely and efficiently is also a key concern, as is managing large datasets and troubleshooting software issues. Collaboration with surveyors, GIS specialists, and project managers is essential for integrating aerial data into broader mapping or engineering projects. Overcoming these challenges requires a combination of technical expertise, attention to detail, and effective communication with the team.

Job description

About the Job

Array is looking for a product leader to define and deliver the next generation of 3D geospatial data products.

As Product Manager, 3D Geospatial Products, you will own the product vision and roadmap for turning optical and radar satellite imagery into market‑ready 3D products. You will determine what we build, what performance levels matter, how customers evaluate quality, and how we prioritize across collection strategy, reconstruction algorithms, data processing pipelines, APIs, data formats, visualization, and analytics.

Array’s 3D products will be built from multiple forms of imagery and collection geometry, including stereo collections, multi‑pass imagery, radar imagery, optical imagery, and fused optical‑radar data. You will work at the intersection of customer need, technical feasibility, data production, and software delivery, helping Array translate a fundamentally new sensing capability into repeatable products customers can understand, buy, evaluate, and use.

You will work closely with software engineering, algorithms, mission operations, program management, business development, and the executive team to ensure Array builds the right products, sequences them intelligently, and delivers them with the quality, reliability, and usability required for commercial and government adoption.

Responsibilities
  • Own the roadmap for Array’s 3D geospatial data products, including products derived from optical imagery, radar imagery, stereo collections, multi‑view collections, and optical‑radar fusion
  • Define product requirements for 3D data products, including resolution, accuracy, coverage, latency, update rate, metadata, validation approach, delivery format, and customer‑facing evaluation criteria
  • Translate customer needs into clear product specifications, roadmap priorities, technical tradeoffs, and product decisions
  • Partner with algorithms and software engineering teams to prioritize reconstruction methods, processing pipelines, quality‑control systems, and data delivery capabilities
  • Work with go‑to‑market, business development, and program teams to support customer discovery, product demonstrations, data evaluations, proposals, early deployments, and feedback loops
  • Define and track product metrics tied to customer adoption, delivery performance, data quality, product reliability, and business outcomes
  • Write and maintain product requirements, roadmap documents, customer‑facing product definitions, evaluation plans, and internal decision memos
Basic Qualifications
  • 5+ years of experience in product management, technical product management, solutions engineering, or related roles
  • Experience working with technical, data‑heavy, geospatial, imagery, or software products
  • Ability to translate customer needs into clear product requirements
  • Strong cross‑functional communication skills across engineering, business, and operations teams
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, geospatial science, or equivalent experience
  • Ability to travel as needed
Preferred Skills & Experience
  • Experience with photogrammetry, stereo imagery, multi‑view reconstruction, LiDAR, point clouds, meshes, DEMs, DSMs, or other 3D geospatial data products.
  • Experience with satellite imagery, aerial imagery, radar, SAR, Earth observation, or other remote sensing systems.
  • Experience launching a net‑new imagery, mapping, analytics, data platform, or geospatial product.
  • Experience with data‑centric products, including APIs, data pipelines, cloud processing systems, visualization platforms, geospatial file formats, and customer data delivery workflows.
  • Proficiency with Python, SQL, GIS tools, or other tools commonly used in data‑heavy or imagery‑based workflows.
  • Experience working with commercial enterprises using geospatial data in markets such as infrastructure, utilities, mining, insurance, mapping, telecommunications, agriculture, or energy.
  • Prior experience working with the Department of War, Intelligence Community, civil government, or national security customers.
  • Familiarity with AI, automation, or machine learning applied to geospatial, imagery, or physical‑world data workflows.
  • Experience working in a startup or fast‑moving technical organization where product definition, customer discovery, and engineering execution happen in parallel.
Compensation & Benefits

$150,000 - $250,000 a year
