Cartographer: Ft Shafter
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also drop "This position will be posted for at least 5 calendar days..." etc.
We need to decide sections: Could have "About the role" (maybe the job description paragraph). Could have "Responsibilities" (list of duties). Could have "Required Qualifications" (education, experience, skills). Could have "Preferred Qualifications" (desired skills). Could have "Pay". Could have "Benefits". Could have "Locations" maybe as part of About the role? Could be separate "Locations". But we only include sections if posting has real specific content. Locations are listed; we could include a section "Locations". However the instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It doesn't list Locations as a standard heading, but we could still use a heading if we think appropriate? The instruction says: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The e.g. suggests those are examples, not exclusive. But we should prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine locations into About the role or Responsibilities. Probably better to include a "Locations" section? But they didn't list it as example; but we could still use Locations
. However they said "e.g." meaning those are examples; we can use other headings if needed. But to be safe, maybe incorporate locations into a paragraph under About the role.
We need to preserve all substantive information: The job description sentences: "Perform cartographic finishing, feature extraction, and data content management to customer data standards and in accordance with project specific guidance. Manage a geospatial database. Perform QA/QC functions and correct data call errors. Compile, segregate, evaluate, research, interpret, analyze, and disseminate intelligence information to support operations. Prepare, maintain, and present intelligence displays, reports, and briefings with the creation and use of visual aids and drafting, editing, and proofreading documents for publishing."
That's a list of duties; we can put as - each sentence? Or combine? Probably each sentence as a list item.
Then "MULTIPLE LOCATIONS: Quantico VA, Ft Sam Houston TX, Shaw AFB SC, Ft Shafter HI, Colorado Springs CO, Weisbaden Germany, Vincenza Italy". That's a list.
Then "Required Education, Experience, & Skills NOTE: Must attain and maintain active TS/SCI clearance Five (5) to Ten (10) years of demonstrated relevant experience required. A degree (BS) in GIS, Geography, or related field preferred. Cartographic finishing, feature extraction, and data content management related experience required. Knowledge of CIB1, TLMs, MGCP products, MDG, DTED, SRTM, in boundary recovery processes. Knowledge of feature data extraction; attribution process and cartographic finishing techniques. Proficient in ArcGIS, Socet-Set, RemoteView, or comparable ELT software. Superior knowledge of geospatial database content management. Experience with FME, ESRI extract, transform, and load (ETL) tools, or similar software extensions.

Superior knowledge of geographical and cultural aspects of foreign countries. Proven ability to develop production schedules and deliver customer requirements on-time or ahead of schedule and proven ability to work independently with minimal oversight. Experience in combining digital cartography, computer technology, GIS, cartographic and geospatial production techniques, remote sensing, photogrammetry, and digital data formats. Experience working with geospatial data in a multi-user enterprise environment. Demonstrated excellent oral and written communication skills."
That's a big list; we can break into bullet points.
Then "Desired Skills Preferred Education, Experience, & Skills Experience using data mining tools; open source research methods; understanding of military capabilities weapon systems; application engineering, system administration, or software configuration of industry standard geospatial analysis and production software; experience with Oracle Spatial or ArcSDE. Knowledge of python scripting to streamline and automate routine production processes."
Then "Pay Information Full-Time Salary Range: $67406 - $114590 Please note: This range is based on our market pay structures. However, individual salaries are determined by a variety of factors including, but not limited to: business considerations, local market conditions, and internal equity, as well as candidate qualifications, such as skills, education, and experience."
Then "Employee Benefits: At BAE Systems, we support our employees in all aspects of their life, including their health and financial well-being. Regular employees scheduled to work 20+ hours per week are offered: health, dental, and vision insurance; health savings accounts; a 401(k) savings plan; disability coverage; and life and accident insurance. We also have an employee assistance program, a legal plan, and other perks including discounts on things like home, auto, and pet insurance. Our leave programs include paid time off, paid holidays, as well as other types of leave, including paid parental, military, bereavement, and any applicable federal and state sick leave. Employees may participate in the company recognition program to receive monetary or non-monetary recognition awards. Other incentives may be available based on position level and/or job specifics."
Then "About BAE Systems Intelligence & Security BAE Systems, Inc. is a defense, aerospace, and security company headquartered in Falls Church, Virginia, with more than 40,000 employees worldwide. We serve, supply, and protect those who protect us. As one of the most geographically diverse international defense companies, we deliver a full range of products and services spanning air, land, maritime, space, and cyber, including advanced electronics, intelligence solutions, and dedicated customer support. Our culture is performance-driven and values-led, built on curiosity, creativity, and collaboration. Purpose isn't a tagline here. It's what drives us. We're developing breakthrough technologies that defend national security and make a lasting impact on our communities and our planet. When you join BAE Systems, you're not just building a career. You're contributing to a mission that truly matters."
We should drop the boilerplate about posting duration etc.
Now decide sections:
- About the role: maybe a short paragraph summarizing role? Could combine the job description sentences as responsibilities. But we need a section for responsibilities. Let's do:
About the role
Perform cartographic finishing, feature extraction, and data content management to customer data standards and in accordance with project specific guidance. Manage a geospatial database. Perform QA/QC functions and correct data call errors. Compile, segregate, evaluate, research, interpret, analyze, and disseminate intelligence information to support operations. Prepare, maintain, and present intelligence displays, reports, and briefings with the creation and use of visual aids and drafting, editing, and proofreading documents for publishing.
But that's basically the responsibilities; maybe better to have Responsibilities section with list.
We could have:
Responsibilities
- Perform cartographic finishing, feature extraction, and data content management to customer data standards and in accordance with project specific guidance.
... etc
Then maybe a short About the role paragraph? But we can skip About the role if we have Responsibilities. The instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine About the role and Responsibilities into one section? But we need headings for each section we include. Could have:
Responsibilities
(list)
Required Qualifications
(list)
Preferred Qualifications
(list)
Pay
(p)
Benefits
(p)
Maybe also include Locations as part of Responsibilities? Could add a paragraph after responsibilities: "Locations: Quantico VA, Ft Sam Houston TX, Shaw AFB SC, Ft Shafter HI, Colorado Springs CO, Weisbaden Germany, Vincenza Italy". That is substantive.
We could add a Locations
with list.
But the instruction says use headings e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It doesn't forbid other headings. But to be safe, we could incorporate locations into a paragraph under Responsibilities or About the role.
I'll add a paragraph after responsibilities: "Locations include Quantico VA, Ft Sam Houston TX, Shaw AFB SC, Ft Shafter HI, Colorado Springs CO, Weisbaden Germany, and Vincenza Italy."
Now decide on Required Qualifications vs Skills. The posting has "Required Education, Experience, & Skills". That's a mix. We'll make a section "Required Qualifications" with bullet points.
Preferred qualifications: "Desired Skills Preferred Education, Experience, & Skills". We'll make section "Preferred Qualifications".
Pay: section "Pay".
Benefits: section "Benefits".
We might also include a short "About BAE Systems" but that's company overview; could be optional. The instruction says include a section ONLY when posting has real specific content for it. The posting does have that content; we could include a section "About the Company". But not in the example list. However we could add a section "About BAE Systems". But to keep few sections, maybe we omit it as it's not required for job description; but it's substantive. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we must include that info somewhere. We could put it in a paragraph under a section "About BAE Systems". That seems appropriate.
Thus sections: Responsibilities, Required Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Pay, Benefits, About BAE Systems, Locations (maybe integrated). But we need to avoid too many thin sections. However each has substantive content.
Let's list:
- Responsibilities (list)
- Required Qualifications (list)
- Preferred Qualifications (list)
- Pay (p)
- Benefits (p)
- About BAE Systems (p)
- Locations (p or list)
That's 7 sections. Could be okay.
Now ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Now format: Use for each heading. Use - for lists. Use
for prose.
We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.
Let's craft.
First, Responsibilities:
