Airship operations data analyst

Are you an analytical and motivated UAS surveying data analysis expert who gets things done? You may have probably heard of our mission with autonomous airships before and would like to join our team. We’re building the first fleets and are on a mission to expand airships all around the globe, and our first large-scale customers need help in Finland.

Tasks

Your mission is to design flight plans and process gathered aerial data that we collect for our customers. We are a reliable partner, when it comes to surveying and monitoring the environment with high quality and almost zero emissions. In this job, you will be working closely with the actual flight mission planning and the data processing.

Here are some of the key Responsibilities:

• Design and implement automated aerial imaging data processing pipelines and procedures that meet the needs of the customer
• Design UAS flight-plans with reference GIS data and cooperate with operations team
• Ensure the top quality and accuracy of the data by implementing data validation checks
• Designing and building custom analysis on aerial surveying data based on customer specifications
• Keep up-to-date with new GIS data analysis techniques and technologies

In order to succeed you should be familiar with GIS systems and have the ability to code statistical models in Python or R. You should have skills in Java, C++, SQL, or other programming languages.

We also expect you to have some practical experience in GIS analysis and photogrammetry. Here are some key points related to this role with us:

• Planning flight routes based on customer requirements with UAS
• Processing collected high-resolution aerial data using photogrammetry software such as Pix4D, Agisoft Metashape, or similar
• Experience working with RGB, Multispectral, Hyperspectral and Lidar data
• Generating georeferenced ortho-models, digital surface models (DSM), and point clouds
• Performing quality control checks on processed data to ensure accuracy and completeness
• Understanding of surveying and mapping principles and techniques
• Understanding of coordinate and height systems and transformations.

In our world, we do something completely different and new. Ideally, you are a very analytical and pragmatic person that can find various solutions in a sometimes hectic environment. We are still a relatively small team, so independent working skills are a must. It’s ok to love data more than humans, but you need to have ok-ish communication skills as well.

With all this, you get help from the whole company management and our excellent people. It is possible to grow with the company in the future and ideally, you have a thrilling ride ahead with us. The work takes place either remotely or in our airship factory in Joensuu, Finland (located approximately 5 hours away from the capital Helsinki). The factory is located seven kilometers from the Joensuu city center and is reachable by bus or car. If you move to Finland from abroad, our HR team can help you with practicalities. You can work remotely and visit us every now and then.

We can provide a salary of 3500 - 4000 € / month, based on your experience level.

Want to build airships with us? Apply as soon as possible but at the latest before the 31st of March. You can contact our HR Partner Kristian Paloheimo via email at kristian@sytyta.fi or p. 0405738900.
