Jobs at NorthStar Earth & Space Inc.

Conduct a 16-week research internship evaluating whether Earth observation foundation-model embeddings, including Tessera and AlphaEarth, improve Quebec tree-species classification. Build benchmarks, train and evaluate classifiers, measure performance across labeled-data volumes, assess mixed forest polygons, analyze rare species, and deliver documented code, a final report, and a team presentation. The role involves satellite and forest-inventory data, machine learning, GIS, and collaboration with scientists and data scientists.

Develop and deploy software for space situational awareness applications, including automated data-processing workflows and customer-facing tools. Participate in architecture sessions, code reviews, testing, documentation, and continuous improvement. The role collaborates with software, artificial intelligence, and astrodynamics experts to build production-grade analytics solutions using technologies such as Java, Orekit, Temporal.io, databases, and cloud-native CI/CD tooling.

Lead development of an Earth-observation image-processing pipeline, expanding it for new algorithms and larger data volumes. Collaborate with scientists and data scientists to translate requirements into technical solutions, deploy automated and on-demand satellite-data workflows, participate in architecture, design, and code reviews, and maintain technical documentation. The role requires ownership of the project, autonomous technical decision-making, and collaboration in a multidisciplinary English- and French-speaking environment.

Design, develop, test, and deploy distributed software and data-processing pipelines for image processing and orbit determination. Apply cloud-based distributed processing and big-data technologies, deploy automated workflows, participate in design and code reviews, maintain technical documentation, and contribute to product and technology roadmap planning. The role requires collaboration with multidisciplinary teams working on space-domain awareness and satellite data applications.

Design, develop, test, and deploy distributed software systems and cloud-based data-processing pipelines for space-domain awareness tools. Responsibilities include automated satellite-data workflows, Kubernetes operations, CI/CD, technical documentation, code and design reviews, and collaboration with scientists, engineers, and researchers. The role also contributes to innovative solutions and product roadmap planning.
