Data Annotations Engineer

Key Responsibilities

Annotation & Labeling

• Annotate high-resolution EO (optical, multispectral) and SAR imagery (0.5 m – 3 m resolution).
  

• Perform pixel-level and object-level annotations for:
  

  • Object detection (buildings, vehicles, roads, ships, infrastructure, etc.)
    

  • Semantic & instance segmentation
    

  • Bi-temporal change detection / change segmentation
    

• Handle annotations across multiple sensor modalities (EO–EO, SAR–SAR, EO–SAR).
  

Geospatial & Data Handling

• Work with geo-referenced raster data (GeoTIFF, NITF, HDF5, etc.).
  

• Ensure spatial alignment and consistency between multi-temporal and multi-sensor datasets.
  

• Validate annotations against ground truth, reference layers, or auxiliary GIS data.
  

Quality Control

• Maintain high annotation accuracy and consistency across datasets.
  

• Perform peer reviews and quality audits on annotated data.
  

• Identify edge cases, ambiguous regions, and sensor-specific artifacts (e.g., SAR speckle, layover, shadow).
  

Collaboration with ML Teams

• Collaborate with ML engineers and researchers to:
  

  • Refine labeling guidelines
    

  • Improve class definitions and taxonomy
    

  • Provide feedback on model errors and data gaps
    

• Assist in creating annotation protocols and documentation.
