Job Responsibilities:

• Design, manage, and maintain GIS-ready datasets, including raster and vector layers.
• Perform spatial analysis such as overlays, buffering, network analysis, and spatial joins.
• Ensure spatial consistency across coordinate systems, projections, resolutions, and time.
• Support integration of EO-derived analytics into GIS layers, heatmaps, and dashboards.
• Conduct quality control, validation, and metadata management for geospatial products.
• Develop automated GIS workflows and scripts to support repeatable analytics.
• Prepare cartographic products, maps, and spatial summaries for technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Support geospatial requirements for pilots, PoCs, and operational deployments.
