About The Position

Advance Navy mission objectives by building, enhancing, and sustaining Palantir Foundry data pipelines, ontologies, and workflows that directly support operational readiness, logistics efficiency, and decision-quality analytics. Develop and deliver mission-aligned Foundry demos and decision-support tools that help Navy leaders visualize operational challenges, evaluate courses of action, and adopt modern data capabilities. Increase analytic velocity across Fleet operations by replacing manual reporting processes with automated, scalable workflows using Python, Power BI, and Power Apps. Design dashboards, AI-enabled workflows, and performance metrics that senior leaders rely on to assess Fleet capacity, maintenance readiness, supply chain performance, and operational tempo. Integrate ML models, APIs, and automated pipelines into mission-tailored Foundry environments, enabling Sailors, analysts, and operational commands to rapidly access and act on decision-ready data. Collaborate with Navy program managers, Fleet users, and technical teams to translate mission needs into actionable technical plans that enhance operational outcomes, readiness reporting, and mission execution. Support Agile development cycles and DevSecOps processes to ensure secure, dependable, and scalable mission analytics aligned with Navy digital modernization priorities. Facilitate training, workshops, and data-literacy engagements that strengthen analytic proficiency and AI readiness across Navy user groups and mission communities.
