Job description

Résumé

Nous développons un cadre d’autonomie complète qui permet aux drones de prendre des décisions de vol intelligentes à bord, sans intervention humaine. Notre plateforme combine une planification d’itinéraire tenant compte de la météo, un guidage en temps réel et une prise de décision embarquée afin de permettre aux opérateurs de déployer de véritables missions autonomes capables de s’adapter aux conditions changeantes en vol.

À propos du poste

Contribuez à bâtir l’infrastructure de données pour les opérations de drones autonomes. Vous travaillerez directement avec notre CTO afin de créer des systèmes de traitement géospatial permettant une prise de décision de vol intelligente.

Responsabilités principales :

  • Concevoir et développer des pipelines évolutifs de traitement de données géospatiales et des composants logiciels.
  • Développer des outils et algorithmes d’analyse SIG pour l’optimisation des itinéraires UAV.
  • Intégrer et traiter des ensembles de données géospatiales multi-sources (élévation, obstacles, espace aérien, météo).
  • Mettre en place des flux de travail automatisés pour l’ingestion et le traitement continus des données.
  • Créer des API et services pour l’analyse géospatiale en temps réel.

Qualifications :

Ingénierie géospatiale :

  • 3+ années d’expérience dans le développement de composants logiciels SIG et de systèmes de traitement de données.
  • Maîtrise des outils et bibliothèques SIG de base (QGIS, GDAL/OGR).
  • Solide compréhension des systèmes de coordonnées, projections et structures de données spatiales.
  • Expérience avec les algorithmes géospatiaux (visibilité, analyse spatiale).

Compétences techniques :

  • Excellente maîtrise du développement en Python et de la pile scientifique (NumPy, Pandas, SciPy).
  • Expérience avec l’écosystème Python géospatial (GeoPandas, Rasterio, Xarray).
  • Connaissance du SQL et des bases de données géospatiales (ex. : PostgreSQL/PostGIS).
  • Aisance avec les infrastructures cloud (Google Cloud de préférence), les outils de conteneurisation (Docker) et le contrôle de version (Git).

Qualifications souhaitées

  • Diplôme en SIG, informatique, ingénierie ou domaine connexe.
  • Connaissances en C/C++ pour le traitement géospatial critique en performance.
  • Expérience avec les formats de données météorologiques (NetCDF, GRIB) et les modèles météo.
  • Formation ou expérience en météorologie, sciences atmosphériques ou aviation.
  • Connaissances des concepts IA/ML appliqués aux données géospatiales (atout).

Vous avez une solide expertise en ingénierie des données géospatiales ? Nous voulons vous rencontrer ! Nous privilégions la capacité de résolution de problèmes et l’agilité d’apprentissage plutôt que la vérification de toutes les cases.

Note : Seules les personnes légalement autorisées à travailler au Canada seront considérées pour ce poste.

______________

Summary

We're building a full autonomy framework that enables drones to make intelligent flight decisions onboard, without human intervention. Our platform combines weather-aware route planning, real-time guidance, and onboard decision-making to allow operators to deploy truly autonomous missions that adapt to changing conditions in flight.

About the Role

Help us build the data backbone for autonomous drone operations. You'll work directly with our CTO to create geospatial processing systems that enable intelligent flight decision-making.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and build scalable geospatial data processing pipelines and software components
  • Develop GIS analysis tools and algorithms for UAV route optimization
  • Integrate and process multi-source geospatial datasets (elevation, obstacles, airspace, weather)
  • Build automated workflows for continuous data ingestion and processing
  • Create APIs and services for real-time geospatial analysis

Required Qualifications

Geospatial Engineering:

  • 3+ years building GIS software components and data processing systems
  • Proficiency with core GIS tools and libraries (QGIS, GDAL/OGR)
  • Strong understanding of coordinate systems, projections, and spatial data structures
  • Experience with geospatial algorithms (visibility, spatial analysis)

Technical Skills:

  • Strong Python development with scientific computing stack (NumPy, Pandas, SciPy)
  • Experience with geospatial Python ecosystem (GeoPandas, Rasterio, Xarray)
  • Familiarity with SQL and geospatial databases (e.g., PostgreSQL/PostGIS)
  • Comfortable with cloud infrastructure (Google Cloud preferred), containerization tools (Docker), and version control (Git).

Preferred Qualifications

  • Degree in GIS, Computer Science, Engineering, or related field
  • C/C++ for performance-critical geospatial processing
  • Experience with meteorological data formats (NetCDF, GRIB) and weather models
  • Background in meteorology, atmospheric science, or aviation
  • Knowledge of AI/ML concepts applied to geospatial data is a plus.

Strong foundation in geospatial data engineering? We want to hear from you! We value problem-solving ability and learning agility over checking every box.

Note: Only candidates who are legally entitled to work in Canada will be considered for this position.
