About KaleidEO
KaleidEO, a subsidiary of SatSure, is investing in launching its own fleet of earth observation satellites. We are seeking an Image Processing wizard to own and nurture the logical pipeline that delivers the best geospatial images and products. SatSure is a deep tech, decision Intelligence company that works primarily at the nexus of agriculture, infrastructure, and climate action creating an impact for the other millions, focusing on the developing world. We want to make insights from earth observation data accessible to all. The synergy of KaleidEO and SatSure aims to bring a new dimension to the earth observation industry by being the only full-stack company from India, to have satellites in space to deliver insights on the ground. If you are interested in working in a space tech analytics domain driven by cutting-edge technology on the edge as well as on the ground for solving complex data problems using Multi-Sensor Earth Observation data you will have the freedom to work on innovative ideas and be creative with no hierarchies, KaleidEO us the place for you.
Role
- Implementing deep-learning models and/or frameworks that can be used in scene/semantic/panoptic segmentation, object classification, and synthetic data generation using High-Resolution Earth Observation Data.
- Design and implement performance evaluation frameworks for incremental and step-function improvements.
- Exploring and developing new methods for improving detection/classification performance.
- Building model monitoring and active learning pipelines to address the target and data shifts happening in the domain.
- Building models to solve open research problems on complex image preprocessing, computer vision, object identification, segmentation, change monitoring, multi-source data fusion, etc. from High-Resolution Earth Observation data sources.
- Define and implement performance metrics for the research problems and be very methodical / organized with experiment management and performance evaluations.
