Senior Innovation Engineer

Job Responsibilities

• Lead by example and place Quality, Health & Safety, Security, and the protection of the Environment as core values while never intentionally placing employees, our processes, customers, or the communities in which we live and work at risk.
• Develop and maintain post-processing software and algorithms for multibeam, airborne lidar bathymetry (ALB) and topographic lidar data across the full product lifecycle.
• Sit primarily on the RAMMS team, leading development, maintenance and support of the airborne lidar bathymetry processing chain — with particular ownership of wave modelling and its integration into the pipeline.
• Develop ESRI based GIS functionality.
• raster/vector processing and delivery workflows.
• From 2027, contribute geospatial analysis and software support for AUV mission planning, helping optimise autonomous survey design and coverage.
• Provide architectural and conceptual input across multiple programs, and 3rd-level support for existing geospatial and lidar solutions.
• Document and demonstrate solutions, and help drive technical alignment, knowledge sharing and best practice across the region.
• Mentor and coach less experienced engineers, contributing to their technical development.

Job Requirements

• Legally authorized to work in the United States without restrictions.
• Possess a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science with focus on Mathematics, Geomatics, Geoscience or a related field. Masters preferred.
• Have 5 years or more experience developing post-processing software for multibeam, ALB and/or lidar data.
• Strong mathematical foundation — numerical methods, geometry, and statistics/error analysis — applied to geospatial or remote-sensing problems.
• Strong C# and C++ development skills at a senior level, including design of performant numerical and data-processing software.
• Strong GIS expertise spatial data structures, coordinate reference systems, projections, and raster/vector processing.
• Nice to have:
• Experience with wave or ocean-surface modelling (spectral / hydrodynamic methods, surface reconstruction).
• Exposure to autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) survey planning or hydrographic survey design.
• Experience working across multidisciplinary, multi-region engineering teams.
