GIS Data Scientist | BioCarbon Engineering

See full job details here.

The principal role of the GIS data scientist is to combine satellite and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV or ‘drone’) data sets, develop algorithms and frameworks to classify biological features, and work with engineers to integrate outputs into a UAV-based planting system. This role will include in-field data collection and analysis as well as in-house data analytics. The GIS data scientist will work with customers to understand requirements as well as hardware and software engineers to integrate results into a larger framework. Visual and multispectral data sets, among others, will be used to analyse soil characteristics, plant health and plant classification, and map hydrology using digital elevation models (DEM).
