Job Overview

Cognizant is hiring a GeoSpatial Lead Analyst MAP in Chennai for a hybrid consulting opportunity focused on enterprise geospatial routing, mapping, navigation, and spatial data solutions. The role is designed for an experienced professional with extensive hands-on knowledge of ICM Router Servers, Cloud Router, and React Router, along with a strong understanding of geospatial concepts and routing optimization.

The successful candidate will help design and improve routing services that support complex enterprise applications. The work combines spatial analysis, routing configuration, service integration, performance optimization, monitoring, troubleshooting, cloud connectivity, and frontend navigation. The position also requires close collaboration with product, engineering, cloud infrastructure, analytics, and business teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and optimize advanced geospatial routing solutions using ICM Router Servers, Cloud Router, and React Router.
• Configure routing engines and map services for enterprise applications while maintaining reliable and efficient routing calculations.
• Analyze large geospatial datasets to improve route selection, travel-time estimates, spatial accuracy, and operational efficiency.
• Establish configuration standards, design guidelines, and operational playbooks for routing service deployments.
• Work with product managers and engineering teams to convert mapping and navigation requirements into routing configurations, data models, and feature improvements.
• Develop monitoring, logging, and validation practices that help identify routing anomalies and maintain service reliability.
• Troubleshoot routing problems by reviewing server logs, configuration settings, and map data quality.
• Collaborate with cloud infrastructure teams on secure network connectivity and data exchange between on-premises geospatial assets and cloud-based routing services.
• Maintain technical documentation, routing configuration references, and data flow diagrams for stakeholders and new team members.
• Advise frontend teams on React Router navigation structures, state handling, and mapping interactions.
• Conduct performance benchmarking and capacity planning to prepare routing services for changing workloads and growth.
• Guide teams on spatial data sourcing, projection handling, indexing, and map layer configuration.
• Work with analytics and business stakeholders to demonstrate the operational and customer value of improved routing and mapping capabilities.

Required Skills

Candidates should have extensive professional experience with ICM Router Servers, including configuring complex routing rules, managing routing instances, and supporting enterprise-scale map-based decision systems.
