MBES Processor – Senior
Job Description:
MBES Processor – Senior
Project description:
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.
Primary Tasks and responsibilities
- Process and clean MBES (Multibeam Echo Sounder) data in near real-time using BeamWorx AutoClean
- Apply automated and manual cleaning techniques to ensure data quality and consistency
- Perform quality control checks on bathymetric data and validate outputs against project specifications
- Monitor incoming survey data streams from the USV
- Identify anomalies, noise and artefacts in datasets and apply corrections
- Ensure continuity and completeness of processed datasets during 24/7 operations
- Execute and optimise data processing workflows
- Maintain efficient workflows adapted to continuous acquisition environments
- Adjust processing parameters depending on survey conditions and data quality
- Deliver processed data outputs
- Generate bathymetric grids, point clouds and deliverables required by the client
- Prepare interim and final outputs in the agreed formats
- Collaborate with survey and project teams
- Communicate data quality issues and provide feedback to acquisition teams
- Coordinate with other processors across different time zones to ensure seamless handovers
- Maintain documentation and reporting
- Keep processing logs and documentation up to date
- Ensure traceability of processing actions and decisions
