PREFERRED SKILLS * Experience developing Esri ArcGIS and Open-Source GIS Dashboards, Web Apps, or Experience Builder applications and QGIS. Experience working with FAA, FCC, USGS 3DEP, or other authoritative federal geospatial datasets. Prior experience supporting a federal agency with mission-critical infrastructure or geospatial programs. Experience with GIS/geospatial data platforms (e.g., Open-Source and Esri). * Familiarity with Section 508 accessibility considerations for maps and geospatial products. * Familiarity with radar systems, telecommunications, or spectrum management concepts. * Familiarity with terrain-informed line-of-sight, viewshed, or radar beam-blockage analysis. ## Description * Build and maintain the program's database-first GIS backbone, generating per-site analysis layers, map products, and dashboard content for the full 150-plus site NEXRAD network from a single authoritative data structure. * Develop and maintain Esri-based or open-source GIS dashboards that visualize incumbents, conflict indicators, 300 km analysis extents, site viability status, and obstruction environments to help the client prioritize sites for physical evaluation. * Integrate and normalize multi-source geospatial data, including USGS 3DEP terrain, FAA facility and obstruction data, FCC licensing data, imagery, building/clutter, and parcel datasets. * Produce georeferenced obstruction inventories and line-of-sight/beam-blockage support layers from the NEXRAD location, applying the appropriate data quality tier (survey-controlled, field-verified, or desktop regional). * Establish and apply consistent horizontal and vertical datums, coordinate systems, geoid models, and metadata standards across all geospatial deliverables. * Ingest field reconnaissance data (georeferenced photography, field notes, and survey geometry) into the GIS dashboard and keep site records current as surveys, frequency measurements, and alternate-siting results are completed. * Generate standardized, template-driven map and report exports supporting the NEXRAD Site and Spectrum Baseline Report and per-site reuse viability reports. * Ensure all spectrum and site geospatial data is handled in accordance with Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) requirements throughout the period of performance. ## Related Videos - [This Machine Ends Data Breaches](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/574-this-machine-ends-data-breaches) - [Kubernetes and Microservices with Multi-Model Databases](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/382-kubernetes-and-microservices-with-multi-model-databases) - [Tracking vehicles at scale](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1999-tracking-vehicles-at-scale) - [Cyber Sleuth: Finding Hidden Connections in Cyber Data](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/893-cyber-sleuth-finding-hidden-connections-in-cyber-data) - [Pragmatic Blockchain Design Patterns: Integrating Blockchain into Business Processes](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1579-pragmatic-blockchain-design-patterns-integrating-blockchain-into-business-processes) - [Fault Tolerance and Consistency at Scale: Harnessing the Power of Distributed SQL Databases](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1146-fault-tolerance-and-consistency-at-scale-harnessing-the-power-of-distributed-sql-databases) ## Related Articles - [Data Engineer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/253-data-engineer-salary-uk) - [Data Analyst Salary in the UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/278-data-analyst-salary-in-the-uk) - [A Guide to Green Tech and Green IT Careers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/374-a-guide-to-green-tech-and-green-it-careers) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [Software Engineer Salary London](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/252-software-engineer-salary-london)
