More about this role
Muon Space is building a family of infrared imaging missions designed for global wildfire detection and monitoring, weather and cloud characterization, and space-based environmental monitoring. Muon's IR Data Products team builds the analytics system that processes the data from our spacecraft's custom multispectral imaging instruments into data products and analytics for diverse end-user stakeholders from these missions. We are seeking a Geospatial Data Scientist to join this team with a focus on building derived data products from Muon's FireSat and Space-Based Environmental Monitoring (SBEM) missions.
This role will be a hands-on contributor to the development of derived data products from Muon's IR data missions. You will dive deep into real-world data from brand new imaging systems, prototype and productionize algorithms that turn Level-1 imagery into higher-level derived products, and write production-ready code that feeds directly into customer-facing services. Working alongside senior scientists and product owners on the IR Data Products team, you will build expertise across both missions while contributing to product design, validation, and documentation.
