About The Position

We are seeking a Senior InSAR Technology Analyst to join our Digital Solutions team. This role is designed for an experienced InSAR professional with hands‑on expertise in advanced processing methods, signal interpretation, and operational monitoring applications. You will take technical ownership of complex InSAR monitoring projects—from processing strategy and signal validation through client delivery and project renewal. In addition to deep technical work, this role includes client‑facing engagement, proposal support, and mentorship of junior analysts. This is a contract position through February 1, 2027, ideal for an analyst who enjoys combining advanced InSAR science with real‑world operational impact.

Requirements

Broad, hands‑on experience processing and analyzing InSAR data in operational or applied research environments
Deep understanding of multiple InSAR processing methodologies (e.g., time‑series approaches, multi‑baseline techniques)
Strong understanding of InSAR signal sources, including deformation signals, atmospheric effects, orbital errors, and noise characteristics
Proven ability to design, evaluate, and refine processing workflows for challenging datasets
Proficiency using Linux‑based command‑line tools for InSAR processing
Experience working with GIS platforms and manipulating geospatial datasets
Strong client‑facing communication skills, including written reports, visual outputs, and verbal presentations
Experience with scientific or image processing techniques beyond InSAR
Working knowledge of Python, MATLAB, and/or Linux shell scripting (Bash, Python preferred)
InSAR-related university degree, and a background in an Earth science, computer science, physics or engineering.
2+ years of experience (including experience during education) in processing InSAR and/or managing InSAR projects is essential.

Nice To Haves

Geotechnical knowledge, particularly in mining or slope stability contexts
Surveying or geodesy background
High‑Performance Computing (HPC) or large‑scale processing environments
Spanish and/or Portuguese language skills

Responsibilities

Lead and advance 3vGeomatics’ InSAR monitoring capabilities, contributing to evolving processing workflows and best practices
Process, analyze, and interpret InSAR datasets across a range of monitoring applications (e.g., ground deformation, slope stability, infrastructure, mining)
Manage large‑scale and technically complex InSAR projects, including end‑to‑end delivery and client renewal
Apply expert knowledge of InSAR signals, noise sources, and deformation mechanisms—ensuring signals are correctly modelled, filtered, or preserved
Provide technical support and guidance to clients, both remotely and in person
Support business development through proposal contributions, technical writing, client meetings, and live demonstrations
