What is a Geospatial Science job?

A Geospatial Science job involves collecting, analyzing, and interpreting spatial data to understand geographic patterns and relationships. Professionals in this field use technologies like GIS (Geographic Information Systems), remote sensing, and GPS to support decision-making in areas such as urban planning, environmental management, and disaster response. Roles may include GIS analysts, cartographers, surveyors, or remote sensing specialists. These jobs are found in industries like government, agriculture, transportation, and defense. Strong analytical skills and proficiency in geospatial software are essential for success in this field.

What are the typical daily responsibilities for someone working in Geospatial Science?

Professionals in Geospatial Science typically spend their days collecting, analyzing, and interpreting spatial data using GIS and remote sensing technologies. Responsibilities often include creating digital maps, conducting spatial modeling, managing geospatial databases, and supporting environmental or urban planning projects. Collaboration with engineers, surveyors, and project managers is common, as is the need to present findings to stakeholders through reports or visualizations. The role offers a dynamic mix of independent technical work and teamwork, making it ideal for those who enjoy both in-depth analysis and collaborative problem-solving.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Geospatial Science position, and why are they important?

To succeed in Geospatial Science, you need strong analytical skills, a background in geography or environmental science, and proficiency in spatial data analysis. Familiarity with GIS software (like ArcGIS or QGIS), remote sensing tools, and certifications such as GISP or Esri Technical Certification are highly valued. Excellent problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and effective communication skills help you work with interdisciplinary teams and convey complex spatial information. These competencies are crucial for ensuring accurate data interpretation and impactful decision-making in projects involving mapping, planning, or resource management.

Job description

About Us

Array Labs is building a new way to understand the physical world.

Today, most geospatial systems are built around flat imagery, incomplete elevation models, slow refresh cycles, or narrow-area surveys. The world increasingly needs something better: accurate, frequently updated 3D information about the places, infrastructure, terrain, and activity that shape human decisions.

Array is building that system. We are developing a coordinated fleet of radar satellites designed to create high-resolution 3D data products of the Earth at unprecedented scale, speed, and reliability. Our technology is built to work across wide areas, through clouds, day and night, and to support both commercial and government customers operating in environments where timely physical-world understanding matters.

We design and build our satellites, radar payloads, sensing systems, and data products end-to-end. Our goal is to make 3D geospatial intelligence dramatically more accessible, useful, and operationally relevant for customers in mapping, infrastructure, disaster response, defense, intelligence, energy, telecommunications, mining, and other industries that depend on understanding the changing Earth.

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
Our hiring and compensation strategy is simple: find uncommonly good people and pay them uncommonly well.
 
We offer high flexibility between salary and equity-based compensation. Final candidates can choose from three compensation mixes: low, medium, or high equity. Equity is a significant component of total compensation, and we aim to provide meaningful ownership for this role.
 
Full-time employees also enjoy a comprehensive benefits package including health, dental, vision, a 401(k) with company match, commuter benefits, and more.
 
 
Interview Process
We will conduct interviews via Google Meet with the potential for an onsite visit; the typical process takes around 3-5 weeks to complete from start to finish.
 
 
Why Join Array
