Orbital Insight, Inc. is currently seeking a solutions engineer to join our Federal team. This is a hybrid position based in Washington, D.C. The candidate will be expected to travel to client sites and work as needed at Orbital Insight’s office in Arlington. In this role, you will be an integral part of demonstrating Orbital Insight’s new TerraScope product, a SaaS platform that analyzes a wide variety of sensor data— from satellites to connected devices—to answer Earth’s most urgent and challenging national security problems for our Federal customers. You will work with a passionate team bringing insights to government customers concerned about everything from military movements and illicit trafficking to macroeconomics, migration, supply chain and sustainability. You are growth-oriented, curious, and passionate about bringing innovative, commercial geospatial intelligence tools to the government.

Orbital Insight’s mission is to understand what is happening on and to the Earth, and our insights have helped track rates of deforestation, detect manufacturing and supply chain disruptions, measure poverty levels around the globe, monitor construction and mining, identify suspect fishing patterns, and more. As a Solutions Engineer you will be at the forefront of our efforts to empower our customers to use TerraScope to solve their hardest problem sets.

Geospatial data analysis can reveal patterns, detect change and empower decision-makers to cut costs, reduce risk and identify new revenue opportunities. Intelligence gathering is cumbersome, technically challenging, and requires navigating the complex geolocation data value chain of dozens of diverse data vendors. TerraScope is one of the only SaaS platforms to effectively combine computer vision, geolocation data, and cutting-edge AI techniques to deliver highly customizable insights to customers. It simplifies geospatial analytics so non-technical users can access data-powered insights, and technical users can use its flexible design to rapidly build their own geospatial data-powered solutions.

You will use your domain knowledge and experience to define client use cases, and apply both your creative and technical prowess to design solutions to meet these challenges with the sensor data, analytics, and flexibility of TerraScope at your disposal.

You thrive on solving problems, and collaborating cross functionally. You may start your day in a client meeting where you’ll articulate how a certain computer vision algorithm works to an audience of mixed technical aptitude, while highlighting TerraScope’s unique features. Afterwards you may write some Python code using the TerraScope Software Development Kit (SDK) to build a new multi-sensor analysis for a new use case you’ve been exploring, and then finish up the day in an internal meeting with the product team advocating for a new feature request from a client.

The position is based in Washington, D.C.
