We are currently looking for a Data Scientist to join our team in Delft.

You will be working within the Defence & Security business unit, where we are working on innovative solutions that leverage space technologies. You will be active in the domain of Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR). In the ISR domain we are developing advanced satellite data processing solutions, both on-board satellites and on ground. These solutions include the employment of machine learning models to obtain insights from a variety of satellite-based sensors, such as hyperspectral and SAR. Common application areas include Defence, Space and Critical Infrastructure. This role involves studying and analyzing different sensor types and their data, designing and applying data pre processing and filtering techniques and designing and implementing machine learning models to obtain insights. Additionally, this position includes evaluation and analysis of results to assess performance of these models. This position provides the opportunity to design innovative solutions and contribute to product and service development in a dynamic, high-tech organization.

Main responsibilities

  • Study, analyze and evaluate different types of satellite data, including but not limited to hyperspectral and SAR.
  • Define and implement data pre-processing and filtering techniques to enhance data applicability.
  • Implement data pipelines and labeling techniques
  • Design and implement efficient machine learning models and other AI techniques to convert data into valuable insights.
  • Support and guide colleagues in data science related developments.
  • Lead data science tasks in projects.

Requirements

  • Master’s degree in Astronomy, Aerospace Engineering, Physics, Computational Science or a related technical field, or extensive work experience equivalent to these qualifications.
  • Solid understanding of satellite data, including but not limited to hyperspectral and SAR.
  • Programming experience in Python.
  • Experience with machine learning platforms (PyTorch, TensorFlow) and data science tools (scikit-learn, numpy)
  • Strong communication skills in English, both verbally and in writing. Dutch is an advantage.
  • Affinity with working for Defence. Possibility to obtain security clearances (Dutch, NATO, EU) is a must.

Apply via our application form, or send your CV and motivational letter directly to recruitment@stcorp.nl.

Our story

At S[&T] we contribute to a safer life on earth by translating space data into valuable and actionable insights. We oversee data from instruments to application, and apply our expertise within our software frameworks, information products and consultancy.

Our society relies on space and scientific instruments for climate change monitoring, navigation, defence and national security, and other crucial services we all use in our daily lives. These instruments produce an enormous quantity of complex data, and our goal is to unlock its value.

We have more than 20 years of experience working on instrument calibration, the creation of data quality monitoring tools, the development of real-time data processing frameworks, and the development of application-specific algorithms. With this, we help organisations, governments and industries to strengthen their information position and thereby improve their decision making. We focus on the following domains: Space & Science, Defence & Security, Environment & Sustainability, and High-Tech Consulting.

We can then turn that data into smart decisions with our Intelligent Software Applications. Or if you need on-site support, we have the brightest minds and greatest people in Technical Consulting for R&D.

Taking the R&D Journey Together
Research and development projects are usually long-term investments in complex systems involving stringent requirements, formalized relationship structures and interfaces, and highly impactful project phases and team scaling. It is important to have an experienced partner that is in it for the long haul. At S[&]T, we are relationship driven, and think not only about the first steps toward partnership, but the long-term win-win-win. We have flexible methods of partnering, and are able to support R&D via projects, personnel and products, depending on which method provides the best solution. Our open communication style and people-driven methods create smooth interfaces and ensure that we are a dependable partner through thick and thin.

Meant to be at S[&]T
At S[&]T, relationships always come first, and we treat our employees like we would like to be treated. We understand that smart people need flexibility, challenging projects, open communication and a motivating career path. If you would like to choose your own adventure when it comes to building a role that is right for you, we are here to support you along the way. Our flat structure and direct connections in a variety of R&D settings provides you with plenty of opportunity, while we also work hard to ensure that we create a fun environment along the way.
