SAIC is seeking a Geographic Information System (GIS) Analyst to support mission-critical public safety solutions for the Department of Defense (DoD).

This role is 100% remote but priority will be given to East Coast candidates

In this hands-on, impactful role, you will work at the intersection of GIS technology and emergency response, ensuring that GIS, Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD), and Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG911) systems are powered by accurate and reliable data. By helping military first responders and public safety entities, you will play a key role in protecting service members, their families, businesses, and communities.

As part of SAIC’s Public Safety GIS & Addressing Team, you will collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to develop, manage, and validate GIS data for critical response systems. Your contributions will ensure our emergency services have the tools they need to act swiftly and precisely in times of need. This role provides the opportunity to grow your expertise in public safety systems, geospatial analysis, data automation, and project leadership.

If you’re a results-driven GIS professional with a passion for public safety and innovation, we invite you to consider this rewarding opportunity.

• Develop and maintain GIS datasets to ensure data accuracy, reliability, and timeliness for CAD and NG911 systems.
• Utilize ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Portal to perform geospatial analysis, data development, and workflow automation.
• Implement geodatabase management standards and document updates with clear, detailed metadata.
• Automate data workflows to streamline key processes and improve efficiency—using tools such as Python and Arc Py.
• Adhere to rigorous quality control standards and frameworks for public safety applications, including NENA standards for NG911 GIS data.
• Collaborate with military and civilian emergency dispatch entities to capture requirements and tailor GIS data for operational readiness.
• Develop geospatial solutions that meet the needs of fire, emergency medical services (EMS), and law enforcement agencies.
• Communicate technical concepts and solutions clearly to end-users, stakeholders, and non-technical audiences.
• Gather, analyze, and interpret geospatial relationships to support critical decision-making.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Geographical Information Systems (GIS), Geography, Information Technology, or a related field, and five (5) years of experience in professional-level GIS data development and cartographic production.
• Proficiency with ESRI ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Portal/Enterprise.
• Knowledge of emergency response operations, including fire, EMS, and law enforcement services.
• General understanding of CAD systems and 9-1-1 call handling systems, as well as GIS’s role in their performance.
• U.S. citizenship with the ability to obtain and maintain a Secret clearance.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience automating workflows through ETL processes, Python scripting, and Arc Py.
• Familiarity with Data Reviewer and topology rulesets for advanced data quality management in ArcGIS Pro.
• Working knowledge of the National Emergency Number Association (NENA) NG911 GIS data model and its role in Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) and NG911 Core Services (NGCS).
• Understanding of DoD Spatial Data Standards such as SDSFIE.
• Experience with GIS data quality control frameworks, including checks for accuracy, completeness, logical consistency, and temporal reliability.
• Strong critical-thinking and problem-solving skills, especially in high-pressure or time-sensitive environments.
• Professional certification such as GIS Professional (GISP) or equivalent.
