Vacant job

We are now looking for a consultant for an exciting and research-oriented assignment within satellite data and geolocalization. The assignment is carried out within the framework of an international project funded by the European Space Agency (ESA), with a focus on reprocessing historical satellite data and further developing algorithms for improved navigation and geolocalization.

You will become part of a project conducted in close collaboration with international actors and research environments, where technology, science, and software development meet in practice.

About the assignment

In this role, you will work on the development and improvement of algorithms in Python based on scientific articles and research results. The algorithms are to be integrated into an existing framework with high demands on code quality, testability, and long-term maintenance.

The work also includes batch processing of satellite data as well as the development of write routines according to defined format specifications, primarily netCDF4 with CF conventions.

The codebase is open source and developed in GitHub, which means great importance is placed on:

• Readable and well-structured code
• Test-driven development (TDD)
• Clean Code principles
• CI flows and automated tests

It may also become relevant to work with performance optimization through, for example:

• Cython
• Rust
• GPU acceleration with CuPy

You will collaborate closely with project management and other participants in the project and:

• Participate in progress meetings in English
• Provide weekly oral status reports
• Produce monthly written reports and presentations in English

We are looking for someone who has:

• At least 3 years of experience in development and programming in Python
• At least 2 years of experience with agile working methods
• At least 2 years of experience writing readable, maintainable, and tested code
• Very good skills in Swedish and English, both spoken and written

Meritorious experience

It is extra positive if you also have experience or understanding in any of the following areas:

• Geographic data and projections in Python, such as Pyproj
• Optimization of Python code with, for example, Cython or Rust
• Scientific Python libraries such as NumPy, SciPy, and Pandas
• Aerodynamic concepts such as attitude, roll, pitch, and yaw
• Work with satellite data or other data-intensive scientific environments

Personal qualities

To succeed in the role, we believe you are:

• Analytical and solution-oriented
• Self-reliant and responsible
• Quality-conscious in your approach to code development
• Curious about research, technology, and advanced problem solving
• Communicative and comfortable in international collaborations

This is a unique assignment for you who want to combine advanced Python development with research, satellite data, and international collaboration in a technically very exciting environment.
