GIS Data Engineer II

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

• 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
• Ability to 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, which will help to increase efficiency, quality and/or reduce costs within DEO Group. Apply influence within group.
• Maturing engineering and consultancy mindset with focus on value and cost efficiency. Deliver what is needed as 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; re-engineer new process workflows within PDE , P&GP and DEO if needed.

• Any graduate/post graduate preferred in computer science, geodesy, geography or related field,
• 1-3 years related work experience or equivalent combination of education and related work experience. Certification desired.
• Demonstrated experience with ArcGIS & FME, or similar spatial tools
• Strongly preferred familiarity with programming and scripting (SQL, Python), and 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.
