Mapping / Geo Expert (m/f/d)

We are seeking a highly motivated Mapping / Geo Expert (m/f/d) to join our interdisciplinary team at Quantum Systems. In this role, you will shape and advance our mapping capabilities - from high-precision surveying to dual-use mapping applications.
You will work at the intersection of geospatial data, photogrammetry, mission planning, live processing, and user experience, defining how mapping missions are flown, processed, and experienced by users.

What is your Day to Day Mission:

• Optimize and further develop mapping workflows for surveying and geospatial data products

• Design and improve dual-use mapping concepts, balancing precision, robustness, and operational usability

• Work with high-end camera systems (e.g. Phase One P5, Sony LR1 and comparable sensors) to improve image acquisition and data quality

• Develop and optimize 3D stitching, photogrammetry, and reconstruction pipelines

• Define and refine mapping mission planning concepts, including flight patterns, overlap strategies, altitude, and sensor configuration

• Improve live and near-real-time post-processing pipelines, focusing on speed, quality, and actionable results

• Drive the design of user-centric mapping workflows, from mission setup to result analysis

• Collaborate closely with software, hardware, and UX/UI teams to translate complex geospatial concepts into intuitive user experiences

• Validate and benchmark mapping results using ground truth, simulations, and customer feedback

• Continuously evaluate new sensors, algorithms, and tools to evolve our mapping solutions

What you bring to the team:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Geoinformatics, Geography, or a related field

• 3–5 years of professional experience in mapping, geospatial data processing, or photogrammetry

• Strong understanding of mapping, surveying, and geospatial fundamentals

• Experience with photogrammetry, 3D reconstruction, or image stitching

• Solid understanding of mapping mission planning for aerial platforms

• Ability to work hands-on with complex datasets and translate results into usable products

• Strong analytical thinking and a pragmatic, solution-oriented mindset

• Experience working in cross-functional and agile teams

• Good communication skills and the ability to explain complex topics clearly

  Nice to have:

• Experience with GIS tools (e.g. QGIS, ArcGIS)

• Experience with photogrammetry software or frameworks (e.g. Metashape, Pix4D, COLMAP, OpenMVG)

• Programming or scripting experience (e.g. Python, C++, Rust)

• Familiarity with geospatial data formats and standards (GeoTIFF, LAS/LAZ, DEM/DSM, WGS84, UTM)

• Experience with live or near-real-time processing pipelines

• Interest in UX design for technical and operational users
