This program supports U.S. Customs and Border Protection's Office of Intelligence (OI). The GEOINT analyst will create, manage, analyze, and visualize geospatial data to produce high-impact maps, web applications, and GEOINT products that inform CBP operations and senior decision-making.
Job Duties: - Data creation and management
- Create, load, and modify geospatial data (geometry, attributes, metadata) using sound data editing methodologies.
- Acquire and integrate vector and raster datasets from government and commercial providers; support high-resolution imagery and LiDAR acquisitions.
- Perform rigorous QA/QC on geospatial reference, geometric alignment, attributes, and metadata; identify deficiencies before loading to authoritative geodatabases.
- Maintain multi-user enterprise geodatabases (ArcSDE/PostgreSQL) and manage versioned workflows.
- Analysis and production
- Conduct vector/raster analytics from basic (overlay, buffer, union, intersect) to advanced (surface/network analysis, geovisualization, 3D modeling).
- Produce cartographic and thematic map products (hard/soft copy), atlases, and web maps adhering to projection, scale, typography, and symbology standards.
- Develop analysis methodology reports (data fidelity assessments, workflow diagrams, geoprocessing steps, assumptions/limitations).
- Web GIS and dissemination
- Build and administer ArcGIS Enterprise/Portal content (Sites, Experience Builder, Dashboards, Feature/Map/Image Services, Widgets).
- Support enterprise data release protocols and approved distribution mechanisms; coordinate with stakeholders for Portal changes.
- Collaboration and compliance

- Demonstrated cartographic tradecraft and geospatial analysis skills; strong attention to accuracy and metadata/standards.
- Ability to produce clear, well-documented methodology reports and brief technical results to non-technical audiences.
Desired Qualifications: - Hands-on experience with:
- Remote sensing/imagery, LiDAR point clouds, and raster analytics.
- Python/ArcPy, ModelBuilder, SQL, and automation of geoprocessing workflows.
- Web GIS app development (Experience Builder, Dashboards, web services).
