• Compile and integrate data from multiple sources into a common schema
• Validate feature geometry and attribution to meet quality standards
• Execute established workflows for data processing and QA/QC
• Support production of 2D geospatial datasets for downstream 3D environment generation
• Work under guidance of senior analysts to complete assigned tasks
• Document and escalate data issues or inconsistencies as needed
• Support team production goals and timelines

Basic Qualifications
