Mapping Software Engineer

We are looking for a digital mapping engineer to design aerial mapping procedures for our drone, implement an automated pipeline for 3D reconstruction, and optimize the 3D maps for use in our front and back ends of our fully-autonomous drone-in-a-box system. You will work with camera and backend engineers in the development of software to provide a complete mapping solution for our system. You will also organize mapping flights and produce site maps for customers.

Tasks

Software Development:

• Implement a pipeline to automatically process the mapping images and convert the outputs of the 3D reconstruction process to formats needed by the system
• Optimize the mapping outputs for front and back end use
• Develop tools for 3D models manipulation
• Define and implement processes required for interfacing to a third-party processing engine
• Be involved in the design and development future mapping needs

Operational:

• Develop automated mapping flight procedures for a fully autonomous drone
• Organize drone pilots for customer site mappings
• Generate mapping outputs for customer sites to be used by our system

Requirements

• Strong background in mapping and GIS application engineering
• Experience with 3D reconstruction, mesh files, point clouds, and orthomosaics
• Hands-on experience in building cloud-based mapping tools
• Strong programming skills (Python, C++)
• Bachelor or master degree in a relevant field

If you feel you can improve our map generation procedures – get in touch.
