CACI is seeking a GIS Analyst with ArcGIS Pro Python Toolbox development experience.

You will utilize the ESRI platform to develop, execute and manage the production of various processes, in coordination with project and program leadership.

You will aid in the development and application of exploratory data analysis techniques to include data mining, aggregation, and visualizations in support of operations relating to foreign ground force mobility. This includes research and development into weapon system characterizations and operational capabilities. 

You will also develop and integrate ETL pipelines for geospatial and non-geospatial data into an interactive map application using ArcGIS Online Portal.

The work involves ensuring data is readily available in industry standardized formats/data structures, so that it may easily be ingested in current applications used to address ongoing and new operation intelligence questions.

Primary Responsibilities: 

• Develop GIS models utilizing a wide range of data science tools and data sources. The candidate will primarily use ArcGIS Pro to visualize and predict mobility thresholds of ground-based military systems and platforms. The candidate will model these systems under a multitude of environmental conditions using a variety of raster/vector datasets, e.g., topographic, weather, road networks.
• Developing research designs (including formulating testable questions, identifying, and defining key concepts and variables, and matching appropriate methods to problems.)
• Data analysis and modeling (including manipulating datasets and interpreting findings using a mix of programs/environments (such as R, Python, ArcPy, Matlab, Excel) and techniques (e.g., text and pattern analysis, supervised and unsupervised data clustering, classification, change/anomaly detection, time-series, regression, geospatial, and/or social network analysis.)
• Develop process flows/visualizations and technological developmental roadmaps.

Minimum Education and Experience Required: 

• BA/BS degree in a related scientific field (Geographic Information Systems, Geography, Data Analysis, Computer Science)
• Proficient with ArcGIS Pro toolkits, i.e., Spatial Analyst, Spatial Statistics, Network Analyst
