Overview/ Job Responsibilities
NOAA's National Geodetic Survey (NGS) provides the framework for all positioning activities in the Nation. The foundational elements of latitude, longitude, elevation, and shoreline information impact a wide range of important activities. NGS Coastal Mapping Program (CMP) supplies the shoreline for NOAA's nautical charts and other users using photogrammetry, which creates digital maps of the shoreline. NGS is responsible for mapping the 95,000 miles of the U.S. shoreline. Currently the CMP has a data base of over half a million aerial photographs and thousands of shoreline maps.
Position Description:
Entarian is seeking a candidate for our LIDAR Technical / Cartographer position to support ongoing topographic/bathymetric LIDAR projects. The best candidate will understand NGS' strategic goals and its mandate for shoreline mapping under the CMP. Job duties include:

  • Compile, edit, and attribute shoreline shapefile products to delineate mean high water and mean low water for the U.S. and its territories.
  • Quality assurance and quality control of contractor produced topobathy LIDAR data, normalized intensity data, topobathy DEMs, and total propagated uncertainty (TPU) data through detailed visual inspection and metadata verification.
  • Resolve complex discrepancies in source material by researching and cross-referencing historical charts, legacy imagery, and Electronic Navigational Chart shapefiles.
  • Ensure all cartographic products maintain strict compliance with NGS LIDAR, topology, and data stewardship standards.
  • Provide expert-level technical guidance and training to new personnel to ensure consistency in shoreline delineation and attribution.
  • Collaborate on the development of innovative tools and methodologies to streamline production workflows and integrate emerging geospatial technologies.

The salary for this position is approximately $75,000 - $85,000/year.
