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
Requirements What We're Looking For Experience as a Geomatics Analyst, GIS Specialist, or Cartographer, ideally at an intermediate (Level 2) level
Solid background in GIS, cartographic production, and geospatial data modelling
Experience with aeronautical charting or aviation mapping products is a strong asset
Familiarity with ISO 19115 metadata standards
Experience developing functional requirements, database schemas, and system design documentation
Ability to work with diverse data sources and formats and integrate them into production workflowsStrong technical writing and documentation skills
Eligible to obtain and maintain a government security clearance and controlled goods registration, as this role involves access to controlled goods and technology
