GIS Data Specialist (Road Annotation)

Project Type: Geospatial Data Annotation for HD Mapping

Job Overview

We are seeking detail-oriented Road Annotation Specialists to contribute to a high-precision

mapping project using JOSM (OpenStreetMap Editor). The role involves annotating road networks, lane geometries, intersections, medians, sidewalks, and related transportation

features using high-resolution satellite imagery to support the creation of high-definition (HD) maps for autonomous driving and advanced navigation systems.

Key Responsibilities
Road Network Annotation
Annotate road centerlines, lane edges, intersections, medians, sidewalks, driveways, and

other road infrastructure using JOSM.
Interpret high-resolution satellite imagery.
Ensure road connectivity.
Feature Tagging
Apply project-specific tags following OSM standards and client guidelines.
Classify road types, lane configurations, turn restrictions, crossings, and related features.
Data Quality Assurance
Perform self-validation for geometry, connectivity, and tagging issues.
Verify alignment with imagery.
Data Export & Delivery
Export .osm.pbf files without uploading to OSM.
Report mapping issues and workflow improvements.




Meet productivity and quality targets.

Educational Qualification

Diploma in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Remote Sensing, Geomatics, Surveying, or a related geospatial discipline; OR

Bachelor's degree/ M.sc in Geography, GIS, Remote Sensing, Civil Engineering, Geomatics, Surveying, Environmental Science, or any related field; OR Freshers with relevant academic projects, internships, or GIS certification are encouraged to
