What is a Remote Lidar job?

A Remote Lidar job involves processing, analyzing, and interpreting LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) data while working remotely. Professionals in this role use specialized software to create 3D models, assess terrain, and support projects in industries like surveying, forestry, construction, and autonomous vehicles. Responsibilities may include data classification, point cloud editing, and QA/QC tasks. Strong skills in GIS, remote sensing, and LiDAR processing software are typically required.

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

To thrive as a Remote Lidar specialist, you need a strong background in geospatial science, remote sensing, and data analysis, often supported by a degree in geography, surveying, or a related field. Proficiency with LiDAR processing software (such as LAStools, ArcGIS, or TerraScan), GIS platforms, and data management systems is typically required, and certifications in remote sensing or GIS can be advantageous. Attention to detail, effective communication, and problem-solving abilities are crucial soft skills for success in this role. These skills and qualifications ensure accurate, high-quality data analysis and foster effective collaboration on remote or distributed geospatial projects.

What does a typical day look like for someone working in a Remote Lidar role?

A typical day in a Remote Lidar position involves processing and analyzing raw LiDAR data, generating 3D models, and interpreting geospatial information to support project objectives. You may collaborate with multidisciplinary teams including surveyors, GIS specialists, and project managers through virtual meetings or shared platforms. Additionally, your tasks often include quality assurance, troubleshooting data anomalies, and preparing reports or visualizations for clients. Working remotely allows for flexibility, but strong self-management and clear communication are essential to maintain project timelines and effectively contribute to team goals.

Job description

Responsibilities
Candidate should have technical experience in image analysis of remote sensing systems data (PAN, IR, MSI, HSI, LIDAR, RADAR, etc.). Examples of relevant experience include radiometric or thermometric analysis, sensor/atmospheric calibration, MTF and SNR assessments, exploitation algorithm development, signal/image processing, modeling and simulation, and Fourier analysis.
Candidate must possess familiarity with image processing and software tools such as ENVI/IDL, MATLAB, or Python. Other beneficial skills could include experience with atmospheric radiative transfer models (e. g. MODTRAN), XML data handling, image product formats (NITF, JPEG, etc.), AI/ML tools and "big data" analysis techniques.
Responsibilities:
  • Perform studies and analysis to characterize and improve the quality of remote sensing data
  • Coordinate calibration planning by leading weekly payload calibration meetings, generate calibration handbooks, master schedules, data dissemination CONOPS, readiness plans, success criteria, and readiness review execution plans
  • Manage collaborative sites for calibration activities; create, populate, and maintain data repositories to allow distributed teams to access required data and collaborate on execution
  • Deliver and publish radiometric data, sensor characterization reports, and calibration task out briefs
  • Fully analyze and report findings of calibration truth data, characterize and report accuracy
  • Maintain and update scripts, processes and data required for calibration assessment and monitoring
  • Conduct analysis to validate test and transition of capabilities
  • Coordinate with external stakeholders to develop future capabilities, requirements updates and planning
  • Monitor and assess enterprise product and data integrity
  • Lead independent enterprise investigations of anomalous product quality performance and produce analysis to expedite problem identification and resolution

Qualifications
Required:
  • Must possess and be able to maintain a TS/SCI Clearance with Poly.
  • Bachelor's degree with 10-12 years of relevant experience, Master's degree with 8-10 years, or PhD with 5-7 years in Image Science, Optics, Applied Physics, Mathematics, or Engineering
  • Demonstrated ability to perform technical analysis of EO remote sensing data; image processing and digital signal processing experience; image chain analysis
  • Excellent presentation and communication skills; demonstrated ability to clearly explain technical issues to technical and non-technical audiences
  • Demonstrated ability and success working independently and in team environments
  • Customer focused and capable of representing the customer in user outreach, familiarity activities and community forums
  • Experience developing/modifying engineering code in at least one of Python, MATLAB, ENVI/IDL or similar to solve hard problems and create processes for repeatable results

Desired:
  • Bachelor's degree in Image Science, Optics, Applied Physics, Mathematics, or Engineering with 15 or more years of relevant experience, or master's degree with comparable experience
  • Project management or leadership experience
  • Experience working on product initialization teams
  • Experience with one or more of PAN, IR, MSI, HSI, LIDAR, or RADAR systems and analysis
  • Experience developing/modifying engineering code in multiple of Python, MATLAB, ENVI/IDL or similar to solve hard problems and create processes for repeatable results
