Job description
Our Mission
At constellr were harnessing the power of space to solve one of Earths greatest challenges: climate resilience & security in a changing world. Our thermal satellite constellation delivers the most accurate land surface temperature data on the market equipping commercial players governments defence agencies and global institutions with the thermal intelligence they need to make strategic decisions from national security and infrastructure to agriculture and climate resilience.
As a fast-scaling company with offices in Brussels Freiburg Munich Washington and Toulouse our multidisciplinary team of engineers scientists and strategists is building the future of space-based Earth observation
Your Role
We are seeking a highly motivated Imagery Analyst with deep expertise in geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) to support our defence and security customers. You will translate intelligence experience into actionable insights using our evolving datasets including optical thermal and SAR imagery along with time-series and non-civil datasets.
This role requires bridging traditional defence intelligence with imagery analytics developing AI/ML and statistical tools to optimise current algorithms and leveraging geospatial data for mission-critical assessments. You will also represent the organisation in discussions with government and defence stakeholders including MODs.
Key Responsibilities
Analyse multi-source imagery (satellite aerial UAV) and open-source intelligence for defence and security applications.
Detect identify and characterise objects activities and changes of interest to support operational and intelligence requirements.
Perform temporal and spatial analyses leveraging time-series data to assess threats monitor areas of concern and identify anomalies or emerging patterns.
Integrate imagery findings with geospatial datasets (GIS layers terrain models proprietary datasets) to produce comprehensive assessments.
Develop and optimise analytical tools using machine learning AI and statistical methods to enhance imagery exploitation workflows.
Translate complex intelligence and geospatial findings into clear concise reports visualisations and map-based products for defence stakeholders.
Collaborate with mission planners intelligence officers and technical experts to ensure analytical outputs meet operational requirements.
Represent the organisation in engagements with MODs government agencies and defence partners.
