Forward Deployment Engineer

Role at a glance Forward Deployed Engineer — Geospatial Experience — 2–4 years Reports to — Deployment Strategist Streams — Pre-sales evaluation; post-sales sustenance and support Users — Defence and intelligence Location — Delhi, with on-site deployment in secure, air-gapped facilities and regular short trips for customer evaluations Joining — Immediate preferred Candidates with up to 2 years’ experience join as Associate Forward Deployed Engineer. Candidates with 2–4 years may be considered for Forward Deployed Engineer, in line with our career framework. About GalaxEye GalaxEye is a space technology company building OptoSAR, which fuses SAR and EO imagery to strengthen ISR capability for defence and intelligence users. Alongside it,

we offer
AI-powered image and decision intelligence solutions that fuse multiple sensors into one secure, air-gapped and robust system for intelligence fusion and targeting. Role Summary Forward Deployed Engineers at GalaxEye are not desk-bound. They work directly with users on-site, take the product from evaluation or deployment through to live operations, and feed field learnings back into product and engineering. We are Geospatial Forward Deployed Engineers requiring 2–4 years of relevant experience. Why this role?
• Work at the frontier: SAR-EO fusion, AI-driven intelligence and air-gapped software deployment are being built now, and few people anywhere get to work on them in the field.
• See your impact: your feedback and ideas go straight into the product, and you see them land with real users.
• Grow in every direction: engineering, analysis, user engagement and product thinking. Track 1: Geospatial Engineer

Key responsibilities
Your work spans four areas, all grounded in hands-on imagery analysis with users in the field.
• Product development
• Analyze and exploit SAR and EO imagery for object detection, change detection, classification and reporting, and help turn proven analyses into product features
• Tune detection and classification parameters and AI models against real operational data
• Carry out GIS and DEM work: layers, coordinate systems, raster and vector processing
• Test new releases in the field and work with engineering to improve accuracy, usability and performance.
• Direct user interface and feedback
• Act as the first point of technical contact for your assigned user segment
• Run demonstrations, trials and evaluations at user sites, and train users on the platform.
• Keep live deployments running in air-gapped environments, including updates, troubleshooting and regular analysis reports.
• Capture user feedback systematically and escalate platform issues with clear, reproducible detail.
• New product ideas and opportunities
• Spot gaps between what users need and what the platform offers today, and turn them into product ideas
• Identify new user segments and missions where SAR-EO fusion and AI can add value.
• Pitch ideas to the product team with a clear problem statement, user value and supporting evidence. Requirements Must-have Technical
• Degree in remote sensing, geoinformatics, geography, physics, electronics, computer science or a related field
• Hands-on interpretation of SAR and/or EO imagery, through work, projects or research
• Working knowledge of QGIS or ArcGIS
• Python for geospatial processing (e.g. GDAL, rasterio, geopandas) Professional Good-to-have None of these are required. If you have up to 2 years’ experience and meet the must-haves, we encourage you to apply.
• Exposure to InSAR or polarimetry
• Experience with AIS data
• ML-based object detection on imagery
• Dashboarding (e.g. Power BI) Personal
· Communication: strong verbal and written communication, with a confident non-verbal presence (body language, active listening) in front of senior users
· Presentation: clear briefings and demonstrations for both technical and non-technical audiences
· Ability to train: can teach users and colleagues, and explain complex imagery and AI outputs simply
· Adaptability: comfortable with changing requirements, frequent travel and offline, secure environments
· Soft

skills:
empathy, teamwork, ownership and composure under pressure
· Reporting: clear, concise written reports
· Problem-solving: curiosity and a structured approach to problems with no ready answer Benefits Benefits
