Remote Space ISR Data Engineer — Imagery Collection Tools

WLG; Den Haag; On-site; EUR 70,000 - 90,000; Full time

Job summary

WLG, a multinational defence programme, seeks a GIS engineer to own the satellite imagery collection tool: integrate new data sources, optimize the map interface, and diagnose issues in a live production environment.

You will work with a small technical team, communicate in fluent English, document status and metrics, and deliver improvements through independent work or collaboration during reviews.

Qualifications

• Five years or more of multi-mission planning using orbit and sensor modelling.
• Hands‑on experience building and running satellite collection tooling for national or multinational customers.
• Proficiency with GIS and web mapping libraries.
• Experience with protocols used to integrate several commercial imagery providers into one collection capability.
• Excellent spoken and written English in recent work.

Responsibilities

• Integrating commercial imagery providers into the collection tool — the request protocols, the data formats and the delivery paths that each provider brings with it.
• Taking user requests for the map interface, working out what they really need, and implementing the changes.
• Investigating data flow bottlenecks and technical faults in a live production environment, and fixing them rather than routing them onward.
• Working with planners and analysts to turn operational needs into concrete requirements.
• Keeping the documentation for the tool current — status, known issues, collection metrics and the recommendations that come out of them.
• Reporting on how the tool is performing: availability, job success rates, what changed since the last period and what should be done about it.
