At the Marine Corps Intelligence Activity (MCIA), geospatial intelligence supports how Marines understand the world around them, from terrain and infrastructure to patterns that help inform operational planning. The ability to quickly access reliable geospatial data is critical to that mission.
This is a chance to bring deep GIS engineering experience to a mission where work directly supports the people who depend on accurate geospatial intelligence. Join us as a Senior GIS Geodatabase Engineer to support MCIA's Geospatial Support Services (GSS). GSS serves as a centralized capability for discovering, accessing, and sharing geospatial intelligence products across multiple Department of Defense and Intelligence Community networks. Behind that capability is an enterprise geospatial architecture that must remain secure, reliable, and adaptable as mission needs evolve. This role supports the engineers and analysts who rely on that infrastructure every day.
Looked upon your expertise to ensure the database infrastructure remains reliable, secure, and capable of evolving as operational requirements grow. This includes improving geodatabase performance, enhancing data ingest and export workflows, and strengthening backup, restore, and recovery capabilities to support continued operations. You will also support the integration and management of geospatial data across multiple schemas, including USMC Ground Warfighter schema, Topographic Data Store (TDS), and NSG-compliant geodata schemas. You'll implement security hardening measures, identifying and resolving geodatabase vulnerabilities, and providing advanced troubleshooting support when complex issues arise. If you've spent years working with ESRI enterprise geodatabases and Oracle, and enjoy solving complex geospatial challenges, this role offers the opportunity to apply that expertise in direct support of the Marine Corps intelligence mission!
Requirements- Current active Top Secret / SCI clearance
- You've achieved an accomplishment of a Bachelor's Degree + 12 years of relevant experience.
- Extensive GIS and ESRI enterprise geodatabase experience is needed to support a mature geospatial architecture that manages and disseminates intelligence data across multiple classified networks.
- You have gained strong ESRI Enterprise Geodatabases to ensure the engineer can effectively manage performance, data integrity, and system reliability within MCIA's enterprise geospatial environment.
Required Certifications- DoD Cyber Workforce Framework (DCWF) Qualification. Need to meet one of the following requirements below:
- Education: Relevant degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, IT, etc.
