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.
• 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
• 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
RequirementsWhat 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 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 workflows
• Strong 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
• Fluent in English
• Location: on-site in Ottawa, ON during core hours (7:00
AM–5:00 PM, Monday–Friday, excluding statutory holidays); limited
off-site/remote work may be authorized by the client
• Meetings: weekly status update meetings, plus ad hoc
meetings as required
• Language: English
