Your work will help deliver actionable insights to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff directly enhancing Joint Force capabilities. Youll collaborate within a multidisciplinary team of data scientists engineers and analysts applying modern technologies to address complex real-world challenges.
Responsibilities:
Description. Develop data modeling processes to support operational analysis. Data Scientists collaborate with analysts and data engineers to develop data models design storage architectures integrate disparate sources curate data and apply data science techniques to prepare datasets for addressing mission-critical measures drawing conclusions and delivering recommendations that enhance Joint Force capabilities.
Design develop and implement data processing pipelines to ingest clean and transform data from diverse sources including sensors Command and Control (C2) systems weapon systems GPS trackers and observer logs.
Extract key events and parameters from raw data to reconstruct operational sequences describing system performance during critical scenarios (e.g. threat detection engagement and mitigation).
Develop and implement algorithms for event recognition anomaly detection and data correction to address data gaps errors and inconsistencies.
Create robust methods for correlating information across disparate systems with different data representations and ontologies.
Develop and maintain data quality and governance processes to ensure data integrity and reliability.
