XOCEAN is an ocean data company – we collect data for clients ranging from mapping the seabed to monitoring the environment. However, we do this differently, instead of using conventional crewed survey ships, we have developed a marine robotic system known as an Uncrewed Surface Vessel (USV).
Responsibilities include:
- Geophysical data collection, processing, interpretation and reporting.
- Remote data processing of Side-scan Sonar, Magnetometer & Innomar SBP datasets.
- Magnetometer data processing and QC.
- Side scan sonar data processing including seabed picking, interpretation, production of mosaic and seabed features.
- Creation and QC of final deliverables to a high standard.
- Real-time quality control – work with the online surveying team to monitor the data being captured using online and offline survey tools.
- Report writing and client interaction.
- Support with bathymetry data acquisition and processing.
- Remote data acquisition and processing of UAV and Deeper Seismic sensors.
- Managing and maintaining Quality, Environment and Health and Safety standards including update, implementation and management of ISO processes as appropriate to the role.
Requirements:
- Acquisition and processing experience of Side-scan Sonar, & Innomar/SBP and Marine magnetometer datasets.
- Experience in one or more of QGIS, Moga Seaview, DUG Insight, Oasis Montaj and Chesapeake SonarWiz processing software packages.
- 2+ years Marine Survey Processing Experience.
- Strong computer literacy.
- Coding and scripting experience to include Python, C/C++, MATLAB.
- Experience in bathymetry data acquisition and processing.
- Experience of marine survey data acquisition software (e.g. ARC GIS and AutoCad knowledge would be an advantage).
