MBES Processor – Senior

The project consists of remote multibeam data processing in support of a survey campaign executed with an Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV).

The survey scope is expected to involve sweeping surveys or cable route surveys performed from an unmanned platform, requiring near real-time data processing.

A distributed team model (multi-time zone coverage) will be implemented to ensure full 24h coverage.
