Build packages consistent with relevant SOPs and standards designated by the senior-level photogrammetric lead, with guidance as needed.
Complete packages at least two (2) weeks before deployment, unless the mission is first announced within that window.
Coordinate with the customer’s Requirements Manager, Mission Managers, and Team Leads to ensure packages are accessible and to answer questions about content or usage.
Gather post-deployment feedback on package usability from the Geodetic Surveys Requirements Manager, Mission Manager, Tech Team, and Team Leads, and work with the senior lead to refine the process.
Provide input to senior-level revisions of SOPs, geodetic standards, and other package-generation documentation.
Keep the Requirements Manager, Mission Managers, and senior photogrammetric lead informed of status and completions.
Identify potential data sources and optimization methods for the package generation process.
Help identify data accessibility issues affecting geographically separated branches and field teams.
