Job description
Basic Qualifications:
• Bachelor’s degree with 0 years of professional experience, or a Master’s degree with 0 years of professional experience, or an Associate’s degree with 2 years of professional experience, or a high school diploma/equivalent with 4 years of professional experience.
• U.S. Citizenship required; must have the ability to obtain and maintain a Public Trust clearance; all work must be performed within the United States.
• Experience supporting business analysis experience with a focus on data integration or data migration programs.
• Experience with source-to-target data mapping and data quality analysis.
• Familiarity with API integration concepts and interoperability testing requirements.
• Strong analytical and technical documentation skills.
• Experience supporting federal IT programs.
Preferred Qualifications:
• Experience with NOAA Fisheries or other federal environmental data systems.
• Familiarity with ETL concepts, data pipelines, or cloud data platforms.
• Experience supporting compliance validation activities on federal programs.
• Experience contributing to program status reports or monthly progress reports.

Peraton is seeking a Junior Business Analyst (Data & Integration) with a strong data analysis background to support NOAA Fisheries data mapping, interoperability requirements, and compliance documentation on a federal data integration program. This role focuses on the technical business analysis activities that bridge data engineering and regulatory compliance.
The Department of the Interior (DOI), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), and NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) have identified a critical gap in the federal government's ability to conduct comprehensive Endangered Species Act (ESA) research. While FWS operates an authoritative web-based platform for managing data for terrestrial and freshwater species, it does not currently include NMFS marine and anadromous species data forcing agencies to rely on separate, manual processes. This program closes that gap by integrating marine and anadromous species data into the existing FWS platform, creating a single, unified experience for all ESA-listed species.
Work Location: Remote
Day to Day Responsibilities:
• Conduct detailed source-to-target data mapping analysis for NOAA Fisheries species datasets, documenting field-level transformation rules, data type conversions, and null-handling logic.
• Analyze NOAA Fisheries data quality issues identified during prototype ingestion and document remediation requirements.
• Support the Metadata and Authoritative Source Registry by researching and documenting NOAA Fisheries data source attributes, refresh cadences, and data stewardship contacts.
• Assist in the development and documentation of interoperability testing requirements including API connectivity, data exchange protocols, and metadata alignment test cases.
• Support compliance validation checklist development by documenting validation criteria for species list generation, decision logic, and template content completeness.
• Analyze live consultation feedback from production and document actionable requirements for system updates.
• Support the Prototype Ingest Results Report by documenting NOAA Fisheries data quality issues identified during prototype ingestion, including defect descriptions, root cause analysis, and remediation requirements.
• Assist in the development of training metrics dashboard requirements and reporting specifications.
• Support the compilation of final operational documentation by documenting NOAA Fisheries data refresh procedures.
