About The Position

As part of GE Aerospace Digital Technology supporting the Defense & Systems (D&S) business, the Principal Technical Product Manager owns the D&S Palantir Foundry environment and leads delivery across the technical teams that build on and feed it. This senior individual-contributor role is accountable for platform health, configuration, access and security markings, ontology development, the shared demonstration environment, and the platform roadmap. It also coordinates delivery and dependencies across more than eight platform functions without directly managing their teams. The role turns the D&S data strategy set by the Chief Technology Office into a reliable, governed platform for Defense and Systems Customer Experience (DSCX) products and the AI roadmap. Responsibilities span platform resources and cost, Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) capacity, access governance and external-customer enrollment, data products and quality, reliability, compliance, and cross-team delivery. The role requires experience using AI and AI agents to help platform teams deliver more. The D&S Foundry instance runs on AWS infrastructure owned by CTO Architecture & Data, with data arriving through the Data Flow Engine from U.S. and international sources. It handles export-controlled and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) data. A shared demo environment supports customer-facing and leadership demonstrations, and external customers access the platform through business-to-business (B2B) enrollment. Cincinnati, Ohio (Evendale) is strongly preferred; Atlanta, Georgia; Livonia, Michigan; and Niskayuna, New York are also eligible U.S. locations. The position is remote and requires travel of up to 10% for vendor engagement, cross-team planning, and leadership demonstrations. The base pay range is $152,000 to $222,000 annually. The role is eligible for an annual discretionary bonus. The posting is expected to close November 13, 2026. Employment requires legal authorization to work in the U.S.; employment visa sponsorship is not available. Access to U.S. export-controlled information requires proof of U.S. Person status as a U.S. lawful permanent resident, U.S. citizen, or a person granted asylee or refugee status.

Legal authorization to work in the United States; employment visa sponsorship is not available.
Ability to meet the stated U.S. Person status requirements for access to U.S. export-controlled information.
Experience aligning teams that the role does not directly manage around a shared plan.
Ability to explain platform tradeoffs, sustain cross-team momentum through setbacks, and recognize and shape needed process changes.
AI experience and knowledge of using AI agents to support platform-team delivery.
