Remote Sensing Analysis and Field Engineer

This role develops and promotes solutions that use satellite data together with drone, human-flow, weather, government, and other geospatial information. The work covers identifying customer needs and building solutions intended for practical use in areas such as disaster prevention, forest management, agriculture, ocean monitoring, environmental management, finance, and tourism.

Responsibilities include examining and prototyping analysis algorithms using SAR and optical satellite data and GIS; interviewing customers including government agencies, local authorities, and private companies; preparing technical proposals and supporting presales activities; conducting field surveys in Japan and overseas; collecting reference data through activities such as drone surveying and vegetation surveys; and working with software engineers to implement and automate analysis algorithms in products.

The role is part of the Data Solutions Department. Product development is currently carried out by a team of approximately three to four people. The wider product development team uses TypeScript, React, and Rust. For this analysis and solutions position, prior web application development experience is not required.

The stated analysis and verification environment includes Python, QGIS, and ArcGIS. Depending on preference and suitability after joining, there may be an opportunity to develop advanced software skills such as AWS and Terraform.

The position involves more than office-based analysis and development. It requires visiting sites, building relationships with local stakeholders, jointly collecting data, analyzing it, and considering solutions. The stated work location is the Ariake office in Koto-ku, Tokyo, with office attendance generally required and limited remote work available.
