In your first month, you will:
- Be responsible for photogrammetric processing of UAV imagery and Satellite data to generate photogrammetry outputs, including a DSM, orthomosaic, and point clouds
- Train on how to perform quality control of photogrammetric outputs
- Construct flight routes that successfully navigate around any identified hazards
- Perform quality control on geospatial datasets to ensure data meets accuracy requirements
- Prepare and ingest UAV datasets into Zipline’s flight planning system
Within 3 months you will:
- Bring on new delivery sites by using in-house tooling to develop flight routes to new sites.
- Track production progress across multiple Zipline Distribution Centers.
