You bring a rare combination of technical excellence, commercial acumen, and a passion for space-based innovation. Your solid background in Earth Observation systems, whether Optical or SAR, is backed by hands-on knowledge of satellite mission design, orbital coverage analysis, and data exploitation.

Your success in this role will come from:

Expertise in EO and satellite systems – You understand the science and engineering behind EO data and know how to tailor it to client use cases.
Analytical mastery – You are confident with advanced modeling tools such as STK or Savoir, and skilled in turning orbital parameters into actionable insights.
Geospatial fluency – You're proficient in image processing and GIS tools and know how to extract value from satellite data.
