Posted: December 15, 2020

Your duties would include include the design and development of SAR interferometry algorithms for the creation of global 4D building models and the processing of large SAR data sets:

  • Literature research on SAR interferometry
  • Generation of 4D-InSAR point clouds (3D positions and motion parameters, e.g. seasonal and thermal deformations as well as linear movements) by Persistent Scatterer Interferometry or SAR tomography
  • Development of precise and computationally efficient algorithms for large-scale 3D/4D reconstruction
  • Implementation of algorithms and program code on high-performance computers
  • Development of explorative data-driven algorithms for SAR interferometry

Requirements Include:

  • Completed scientific university studies (university diploma/master’s degree) in computer science, mathematics, electrical engineering, geodesy or a comparable course of study
  • Very good programming skills in a development language (IDL, Matlab, Python) or C/C++
  • Experience in SAR remote sensing / SAR interferometry
  • Experience in machine learning
  • Experience with high performance computing (HPC) with knowledge of MPI and openMP
  • Good command of written and spoken English
  • Doctorate in computer science, mathematics, electrical engineering, geodesy or in a comparable course of study desirable
