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

Strong background in GIS, cartographic production, and geospatial data modelling

Experience with aeronautical charting or aviation mapping products is a solid 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
