https://paycomonline.net/v4/ats/web.php/portal/d091157ae56f3b54e83c2790c96e526e/jobs/464158

Description
Interested in driving data science innovation as part of an industry-leading team?

E Source is growing! We’re looking for a geospatial and remote-sensing data scientist to collaborate on the development of ground-breaking data science applications that change the way utilities understand and manage their grid. We tackle challenging projects such as:
  • Analyzing aerial and satellite imagery and LiDAR and topography data
  • Forecasting the impact of severe weather on the performance and operations of massive utility networks
  • Using remote sensing to predict tree presence, height, and productivity

For these and other projects we use a combination of machine-learning models, inference-based statistics, and remote-sensing methods.

Our ideal candidate has significant experience conducting remote sensing and geospatial analytics in either Python, R, or PostGIS. Geospatial programming experience and familiarity with packages such as arcpy, GDAL, OGR, shapely, geopandas, sf, and terra for raster and vector analytics is a prerequisite.

As with any successful analytics project, it all starts with the data, so you should have experience extracting and transforming data from a variety of spatial formats and merging complex data sources that vary spatially and temporally. We use a variety of remote-sensing data sources such as satellite and aerial imagery, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), and LiDAR. Familiarity with one or more of these remote-sensing products and related applications is a plus. Experience with data-driven models using remotely sensed weather observations, and/or vegetation and wildfire ecology data is also beneficial. Data science and statistical modelling is a plus but not a requirement. Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCS) is also a bonus.
