About CEED

CEED is a leading non-profit organization dedicated to driving sustainable energy transitions, climate resilience, and environmental policy advancements in India. Through innovative programs, research, and partnerships, CEED fosters impactful solutions for a cleaner, greener future.

Job Description

CEED is seeking a motivated and technically strong Associate – Climate Tech to support its growing work on climate analytics, geospatial intelligence, and technology-enabled decision support. The position offers an opportunity to work on real-world climate and development challenges, translating complex spatial and temporal data into insights that inform policy, planning, and on-ground action.

The role requires an individual who can think end-to-end, from data and analysis to systems and dashboards and understands why technology matters in climate action, not just how to use tools.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and manage climate tech workflows, covering data sourcing, processing, analysis, system integration, and dashboard delivery
• Process and analyse satellite imagery and geospatial datasets to support climate risk assessment, urban planning, energy systems, environmental monitoring, and resilience initiatives
• Work with time-series and near–real-time datasets relevant to climate, environmental, and urban indicators
• Conduct raster and vector analysis, classification, index development, and change detection
• Ensure geospatial accuracy, validation, and documentation of methodologies and outputs
• Develop and maintain Python-based geospatial analysis pipelines
• Manage and query spatial databases (PostGIS or equivalent)
• Handle large datasets efficiently and build automated data pipelines for repeatable analysis
• Support or collaborate on cloud-based geospatial processing (e.g., Google Earth Engine), where required
• Apply or experiment with machine learning techniques for spatial or climate datasets, where relevant
• Design and build interactive geospatial dashboards integrating maps, charts, and time-series
• Translate complex technical analysis into decision-ready visuals and insights for governments, partners, and internal teams
• Ensure dashboards are performant, user-friendly, and aligned with decision-making needs
• Work closely with climate, policy, and programme teams to ensure technical outputs align with real-world implementation requirements
• Contribute to technical documentation, reports, and knowledge products
• Stay informed about emerging trends in climate tech, geospatial analytics, and data systems, and share learnings within the organisation

Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Geospatial Science, Remote Sensing, Climate Science, Environmental Science, Urban Planning, Data Science, or a related field
• Minimum 0-2 years of professional experience in geospatial analysis, climate tech, remote sensing, or related domains
• Strong working knowledge of GIS and remote sensing principles, including projections and coordinate systems
• Proficiency in Python-based geospatial workflows
• Experience working with spatial databases (PostGIS or equivalent)
• Familiarity with satellite imagery processing, raster analysis, and spatial validation techniques
• Experience with interactive dashboards or web-based geospatial visualisation is highly desirable
• Exposure to Google Earth Engine, cloud platforms, or machine learning for spatial data is an advantage

Application Instructions

• Cover letter explaining how your academic background and skills meet the requirements of this position.
• Updated Resume in PDF
• Writing samples
• Reports

Deadline for applications: 15th January 2026
