• Demonstrated computer proficiency, including working knowledge and experience with the Microsoft Windows operating system and Microsoft 365 suite (Word, Excel, Outlook, and Teams). Must be able to quickly learn new computer software applications.

Desired Knowledge and Skills

• Aviation knowledge, including a strong understanding of aeronautical principles, aviation navigation, instrument flight procedures, air traffic control concepts, and chart symbology.
• Private pilot certificate or higher; an instrument rating is highly desirable.
• Experience with GIS software, CAD software, or similar digital cartography tools, including tools such as Esri ArcGIS Aviation Charting, Bentley OpenCities Map, ESRI products, or similar.
• Experience with data analysis and/or reading maps.
• Previous experience in the production or use of enroute charts, IAPs, SIDs, and/or STARs.
• High‑speed internet is required: minimum download speed of 125 Mbps or faster.
