Spatial Ground Segment Manager - Earth Observation M/F
Job description
Magellium (Artal Group), with its 300-strong workforce, is an independent player specializing in the remote sensing data value chain (from satellite or drone sensor to its use in earth observation systems and services, mapping and geo-intelligence), promoting expertise in space technologies, software, signal processing and geomatics.
