  • Integrate APIs and data services to enable end-to-end analytical pipelines across legacy and modern platforms
  • Prepare and structure operational datasets, including cleaning, organizing, and transforming inconsistent data for analysis and modeling
  • Translate business and operational requirements into technical designs, models, and working prototypes
  • Collaborate with technical teams, program leadership, and stakeholders to ensure solutions align with mission needs
  • Support the transition of successful pilot efforts into scalable, production-ready implementations
  • Document technical approaches, data flows, and model behavior to support sustainment and knowledge transfer

JOB REQUIREMENTS:
