[Remote] Data Analyst

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Niyam IT provides technology solutions supporting mission-critical federal government programs. The Data Analyst will build and maintain incumbent and spectrum databases, integrate and quality-check data from multiple sources, support interference-risk analysis, and prepare datasets and reports for spectrum relocation decisions.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain the incumbent and spectrum database that underpins the program's database-first architecture, ensuring overlapping study areas are analyzed once and extended across the full NEXRAD network without rework
• Ingest, normalize, and quality-control data from the Government-furnished spectrum dataset, FCC ULS, FAA facility/obstruction data, USGS 3DEP terrain, and commercial spectrum-intelligence sources
• Support terrain-informed propagation and interference analysis by structuring emitter, frequency, power, and antenna parameter data for engineering use
• Maintain the Clear / Watch / Flagged site risk classification data and document classification thresholds and methodology for Government concurrence
• Prepare batched, priority-tiered datasets (Urgent first) that feed the NEXRAD Site and Spectrum Baseline Report and drive physical site survey sequencing
• Develop reusable queries, validation checks, and automated data exports to support recurring reports, dashboards, and measurement result integration
• Reconcile measured frequency occupancy and interference results against predicted baseline values, flagging discrepancies for the spectrum engineering team
• Ensure all spectrum and site data is handled and documented in accordance with Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) requirements, including source, date, method, and accuracy tracking

Skills

• US Citizenship
• Bachelor's degree in Data Science, Statistics, Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field (equivalent experience considered in lieu of degree)
• 3+ years of data analysis experience, including data cleaning, integration, validation, and reporting across multiple sources
• Proficiency with SQL and relational databases, plus a data analysis toolset such as Python (pandas) or R
• Experience designing and maintaining structured datasets and documenting data lineage, quality, and metadata
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with demonstrated attention to data accuracy and reproducibility
• Working knowledge of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) handling requirements
• Ability to travel occasionally (minimal) to support program activities as needed
• Experience working with spectrum, RF, telecommunications, or radar-related datasets
• Familiarity with geospatial data and spatial databases (e.g., PostGIS) or GIS platforms (e.g., Open-Source and Esri)
• Experience with data visualization and dashboard tools (e.g., Esri dashboards, Power BI, or comparable)
• Familiarity with open RF data standards (e.g., SigMF) or large machine-readable technical datasets
• Prior experience supporting a federal agency with mission-critical infrastructure, spectrum, or scientific data programs

Benefits

• Flexible scheduling options to balance professional responsibilities and personal commitments
• Remote work options
• Fully funded training and certifications
• Mentorship opportunities
• Clear pathways for advancement
• Transparent career framework supporting continuous learning, professional development, and advancement opportunities
• Progression opportunities to Distinguished Engineer and other technical leadership roles
