We are currently recruiting for our Paris office, a Data Scientist M/F - Emissions Team (6-month internship)

Role

The Kayrros Emissions team is working on several topics ranging from GHG emissions (Methane, CO2) to water and air pollution. We use the latest satellite sources available to build state-of-the-art emission-related products. In the references section, you will be able to find some newspapers mentioning our work on the subject.

Your role inside Kayrros’ Emissions team will be to leverage Computer Vision, Machine Learning & Signal Processing on multi-spectral and hyperspectral satellite images to track GHG emissions.

In this role, you will be working closely with the whole product team and research laboratories (Centre Borelli, LSCE), in such a way that you both learn the core technologies relative to satellite imagery and contribute to the development of new features that you pinpointed as crucial for success.

Data scientists have a central role in Kayrros. They contribute to the whole pipeline of projects, including scoping projects, identifying and collecting data, constructing features, designing models, visualization, testing and improving products with clients. Indeed, as a data scientist, you will have to:

Formulate problems considering available data and value of information,

Design, implement, and test machine learning algorithms

Continuously provide ideas to improve products and take part in all team decisions.
