Job description

The GIS Data Engineer supports the design, execution, and improvements of complex integration processes, mentoring junior team-members and possibly having a limited number of direct reports, always having a passion for data.

Key responsibilities include:

• Independently lead and execute complex data engineering projects, design new end-to-end processes for the conversion and use of external digital sources in the creation and maintenance of the HERE databases and related products.
• Leverage data engineering technologies like FME, ArcGIS, Python, SQL, Visio, QGIS, and others to transform and integrate complex data or create products.
• Assess and manage risks of complex bulk integration efforts, realizing that as data amounts are high, risks are high.
• Provide extensive GIS and spatial data consultancy within the DEO, when needed, especially focused on bulk source integration efforts and process improvements.
• Independently identify improvement and innovation opportunities and, when applicable, drive them into the organization, dealing with possible resistance on the way.
• Lead and participate in departmental and cross-functional projects that will help increase efficiency, quality, and/or reduce costs within the DEO Group.
• Apply influence within the group and mature engineering and consultancy mindset with a focus on value and cost efficiency.
• Deliver what is needed as an end result, not necessarily what was requested at the beginning.
• Design and apply technology in strategic and tactical ways to improve GIS Data Engineering processes, tools, and scope.
• Use experience to recommend improvements for existing processes and tools.
• Develop broad experience of projects and processes and re-engineer new process workflows within PDE, P&GP, and DEO if needed.

Who are you?

We are looking for someone with:

• A graduate or postgraduate degree in computer science, geodesy, geography, or a related field.
• 1-3 years of related work experience or an equivalent combination of education and related work experience. Certification is desired.
• Demonstrated experience with ArcGIS and FME, or similar spatial tools.
• Strongly preferred familiarity with programming and scripting (SQL, Python) and the ability to learn other tools and programming languages.
• Mastery of GIS Data engineering tools and processes.
• Ability to customize solutions outside of off-the-shelf tools and solve very complex data problems.
• Understanding and ability to write into formats such as Oracle, GeoJSON, LRP, FGDB.
• Experience with the HERE databases and products.
