• Engineer and maintain data pipelines for structured and unstructured data across GCCS, JPES, and related systems
• Implement data fusion and knowledge graph solutions to unify operational, intelligence, and logistics data
• Develop AI-enabled capabilities for predictive analytics, anomaly detection, and decision automation
• Deploy models in cloud and edge (DDIL) environments, ensuring resilience and low-latency performance
• Apply MLOps best practices (CI/CD, model versioning, monitoring) within DoD DevSecOps ecosystems (e.g., Platform One)
• Ensure compliance with DoD AI governance, ethical AI principles, RMF, and Zero Trust Architecture
• Support Cross Domain Solution (CDS) integration for secure AI data flows across classification levels
• Collaborate with operators and planners to align AI outputs with JOPP / JPES workflows
• Produce technical documentation, model explainability artifacts, and architecture inputs (DoDAF views)

• Proficiency in:
• Python, and ML frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, Scikit-learn)
• Data engineering tools (SQL/NoSQL, Spark, Kafka, ETL pipelines)
• Experience deploying models in:
• Cloud environments (AWS GovCloud, Azure Government)
• Containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Understanding of:
• DoD cybersecurity requirements (RMF, STIGs, Zero Trust)
• Data governance, labeling, and model validation in classified environments

Education:

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience supporting DISA, Joint Staff, or Combatant Command C2 systems
• Familiarity with JADC2, CJADC2, and data-centric warfare concepts
• Experience with:
• Knowledge graphs / ontologies (e.g., RDF, OWL)
• Geospatial analytics (e.g., NGA data, GIS tools)
• Natural Language Processing (NLP) for planning documents and operational reporting
• Experience with Palantir, DataBricks, or similar DoD data platforms

Physical Demands

This is largely a sedentary role; however, some filing is required. The ability to move files, open filing cabinets, and bend or stand as necessary would be required.
