Maxar is looking for a Database Engineer to join our team to support a high-profile customer project. If you are an engineer who likes to experience a full lifecycle from planning to executing, from extracting, transforming, and loading data, we need your skills!

Life with Us:

Project: We support a US Government R&D office that has asked us to rearchitect, reengineer, and build new data flows for an existing application. We've been assisting them in this capacity for several years and the data has become large and cumbersome. The application ingests large amounts of structured data and then provides augmented attributes based on pre-established processes and an evolving machine learning model. We need your expertise to perform a database assessment and make recommendations for the re-architecture of the large database. We need you to lead the effort to stand up the new structure and migrate the data and project to the better, more efficient system.

Career: At Maxar we're very serious about professional development and continuing education. We offer everyone the opportunity to define their own career trajectory. Our group has some amazing resources at its disposal specifically for this purpose. You will work with your direct supervisor and/or a mentor to set appropriate goals and design a plan to help you make consistent progress.

Day-to-day with your colleagues:
  • Meet with the customer to understand and refine the requirements.
  • Understand the workflow of the project.
  • Develop proposed new database schema and implementation.
  • Work with the customer to implement any requested updates.
  • Move data storage to RDS.
  • Work with security to ensure the entire system is compliant.
  • Compile security controls and artifacts.
  • Contribute to the Standard Operating Procedures and other related documents.

Minimum Requirements:
  • Must have active/current TS/SCI security clearance with required Polygraph.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field.
  • 5+ years of professional, related experience.
  • Experience with SQL and/or PostGreSQL/PostGIS.
  • Experience with database schema creation, standardization, and management.
  • Experience in database performance management and tuning and proactively monitoring the database.
  • Knowledge of best practices for data standards, data management, data quality.

Preferred Skills:
  • Experience with geospatial software such as ArcGIS, QGIS, or willingness to learn.
  • Experience using Python with spatial data.
