About The Position

As part of GE Aerospace Digital Technology supporting the Defense & Systems (D&S) business, the Principal Technical Product Manager, Data & Platform owns the D&S Palantir Foundry environment and coordinates delivery across the technical teams that build on and supply it. The role is responsible for platform health, configuration, access and security markings, ontology development, the shared demonstration environment, and the program-level coordination of 8+ platform functions. This senior individual-contributor role translates the data strategy set by the Chief Technology Office (CTO) into a reliable, governed platform for Defense and Systems Customer Experience (DSCX) products and the AI roadmap. The position governs Foundry resources, cost, and Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) capacity; owns the platform access model, including external-customer enrollment; and manages dependencies across platform teams without directly managing those teams. The D&S Foundry instance runs on AWS infrastructure owned by CTO Architecture & Data and receives data through the Data Flow Engine from U.S. and international sources. It handles export-controlled and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) data. A shared demonstration environment supports customer-facing and leadership demonstrations alongside the production instance. The role is located remotely, with Cincinnati, Ohio (Evendale) strongly preferred and additional eligible U.S. locations of Atlanta, Georgia; Livonia, Michigan; and Niskayuna, New York. Travel may be up to 10%. The position requires access to U.S. export-controlled information, and employment is contingent on proving U.S. Person status. GE Aerospace will not sponsor employment visas for this job. The posted base pay range is $152,000–$222,000 annually, with eligibility for an annual discretionary bonus. The posting is expected to close November 13, 2026.

Legal authorization to work in the United States; employment visa sponsorship is not available for this job.
Ability to prove U.S. Person status as a U.S. lawful permanent resident, U.S. citizen, or person granted asylee or refugee status, due to the role’s access to U.S. export-controlled information.
