This position requires a senior technical subject matter expert with demonstrated experience in enterprise data engineering, analytics engineering, data-platform architecture, and governed business-intelligence products. The engineer shall be capable of transforming complex, incomplete, inconsistent, or delayed source data into well-documented, analytic-ready datasets and products while clearly distinguishing verified data, analytical assumptions, limitations, confidence levels, and judgments.

  • Prepare clean, documented, validated, and analytic-ready datasets for use in performance assessment, market analysis, supply-chain analysis, production planning, forecasting, optimization, simulation, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and related analytics. 
  • Develop draft data-quality, reconciliation, validation, lineage, provenance, metadata, documentation, and data-governance standards for Government review and approval. 
  • Implement data-quality checks, reconciliation processes, validation routines, exception reporting, metadata documentation, data lineage, provenance tracking, and repeatable data-engineering practices. 
  • Identify data gaps, data-quality issues, source-system limitations, assumptions, dependencies, confidence considerations, and analytical limitations for Government review. 
  • Develop Power BI semantic models, dashboards, reports, visualizations, and other analytic products in accordance with Government-approved governance, access, data-management, and reporting requirements. 
  • Support integration with DON and Department of War enterprise data environments (e.g., Advana, Jupiter), Azure Government, Flank Speed, DON enterprise-cloud services, and other Government-approved data environments, as directed and authorized by the Government. 
  • Prepare technical memoranda, architecture diagrams, data dictionaries, data-model documentation, implementation plans, executive briefings, decision packages, and status reports for senior technical and nontechnical stakeholders. 
  • Coordinate technical products and supporting information with DASN (DIB) directorates, ASN (RD&A) offices, DON acquisition organizations, DON enterprise service providers, Department of War stakeholders, and other Government-approved points of contact, as directed by the Government.

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
