Geospatial Applications Engineer

Vertical Aspect, LLC is a geospatial technology company empowering professionals across remote sensing, civil engineering, and surveying disciplines. As the North American reseller for many of the top brands, including Terrasolid, AISPECO, Teledyne, Inspired Flight, Free Fly Systems, Phoenix Lidar Systems, DJI, Virtual Surveyor, and many more, we help our customers leverage advanced geospatial software and hardware to their fullest potential, from project planning through final delivery.

Our mission is to ensure our customers succeed. We combine technical expertise, practical workflow knowledge, and a customer-first mindset to help organizations maximize ROI on their tools, whether through software training, hardware integration, or complete workflow optimization. At Vertical Aspect, we are more than a hardware and software reseller; we are a partner in our customers’ success. As we continue to grow rapidly, we are investing in building the best team in the industry while maintaining the high level of service our customers expect.
