Geomatics Analyst

About the Role

• We're recruiting Geomatics Analysts (Level 2) to support the development of
• geospatial mapping capabilities and products for evolving aircraft systems,
• including major helicopter modernization programs. This role sits within a
• specialized engineering team producing aeronautical charts and custom
• geospatial products built to meet strict aviation operational airworthiness
• standards — a highly specialized cartographic and GIS discipline.

What You'll Do

• •Analyze, develop, and document the functional
• requirements of aircraft map-display systems, including information,
• procedures, and decision flows
• •Evaluate existing procedures and methods; identify and
• document database content, structure, and application sub-systems; develop data
• dictionaries
• •Define input/output sources and detailed technical
• design plans, and support approval of designs
• •Design and document system components, their
• interfaces, and operational environments
• •Design data structures, files, sub-systems, modules,
• and production workflows, including testing strategies and systems
• •Document system design and concepts, and present for
• approval
• •Produce complete operational systems, including forms,
• manuals, programs, data files, and procedures
• •Perform GIS and cartographic production analysis and
• modelling
• •Design and implement functional prototypes of
• aeronautical charts and products
• •Restructure and integrate data from diverse sources and
• formats into production workflows
• •Create and update metadata for geospatial datasets
• compliant with ISO 19115 metadata standards
• •Create, update, and maintain documentation outlining
• production procedures and applicable aeronautical/mapping standards
• •Create, update, and document standardized datasets and
• fit-for-purpose aeronautical products across aircraft fleets
• •Maintain detailed product specifications, database
• schemas, and symbology libraries for digital aeronautical products and web
• mapping services
• •Provide technical advice and support to internal
• development teams as well as external stakeholders and the broader product user
• community

Deliverables

• •Documented functional requirements
• •Documented database structures, schemas, and associated
• content definitions
• •Technical design documentation describing the processes
• used to convert input data sources into required outputs
• •Production manuals, standard operating procedures, and
• related documentation
• •Technical specifications for final data products
• •System design documentation describing relationships
• and integrations between applications, tools, and data transformers
• •Output data and/or product prototypes for testing and
• validation
