Description

Why choose between doing meaningful work and having a fulfilling life? At MITRE, you can have both. That's because MITRE people are committed to tackling our nation's toughest challenges—and we're committed to the long-term well-being of our employees. MITRE is different from most technology companies. We are a not-for-profit corporation chartered to work for the public interest, with no commercial conflicts to influence what we do. The R&D centers we operate for the government create lasting impact in fields as diverse as cybersecurity, healthcare, aviation, defense, and enterprise transformation. We're making a difference every day—working for a safer, healthier, and more secure nation and world. Our workplace reflects our values. We offer competitive benefits, exceptional professional development opportunities for career growth, and a culture of innovation that embraces adaptability, collaboration, technical excellence, and people in partnership. If this sounds like the choice you want to make, then choose MITRE - and make a difference with us. Department Summary: Join the “Data Engineering and Environments Department (L146)” in MITRE Labs and build secure, scalable data foundations and solutions across the federal government. Our mission-focused data capabilities include modernizing data ecosystems, enabling secure data access and interoperability, and engineering resilient computing environments. Our team delivers impactful solutions that strengthen national defense and civilian missions, from joint warfighting and cyber defense to public safety and transportation. We turn complex data environments into decisive advantage. We are seeking a mission-driven and technically accomplished Data Solution Engineer to lead the design and implementation of enterprise and tactical data solutions across multi-domain, mission-critical environments. This role blends strategic vision with hands-on engineering expertise, supporting initiatives that require secure data sharing, resilient interoperability, and real-time decision-making across global, joint, and coalition operations. You will operate in high-tempo environments where trusted data fuels coordination across air, land, sea, space, and cyber domains, including C2 platforms like C2BMC, to support synchronized effects, adaptive targeting, and strategic deterrence in both peacetime and conflict. You are a strategic architect and mission integrator who understands the operational urgency behind data. You design systems that support tempo, resilience, and cross-domain coordination, and anticipate technical, operational, and policy constraints. You thrive in environments where architecture isn’t theoretical—it directly enables mission outcomes. Your work powers decisions, synchronizes effects, and strengthens national defense. Roles & Responsibilities: Strategic Data Leadership Define and execute enterprise and mission data strategies that enable distributed coordination, decision advantage, and multi-domain operations Develop phased implementation roadmaps aligned with modernization goals, deterrence posture, and mission outcomes Architecture Design & Engineering Lead the design of scalable, survivable data architectures that integrate across operational levels and domains Architect federated, edge-aware data environments to support component coordination, precision fires, and dynamic targeting workflows Implement data mesh, event-driven architecture, and interoperable design patterns Data Flow Integration Guide the development of secure, high-performance data flows using tools such as PAR, CurvePAR, DBT, NiFi and Apache Airflow Integrate structured and unstructured data across strategic, operational, and tactical layers Enable data delivery in contested, disconnected, or degraded environments Operational and Fires Integration Develop solutions that fuse intelligence, targeting, and operational data across sensors, compute layers, and transport networks Enable workflows that support fires deconfliction, layered defense, and kill chain execution Align data flows with mission systems such as C2BMC and other real-time coordination platforms Mission Partner & Stakeholder Engagement Collaborate with program offices, acquisition stakeholders, and mission partners to co-develop interoperable data architectures Translate operational requirements into scalable, resilient technical designs Communicate technical trade-offs clearly to diverse stakeholders Governance & Compliance Enforce data governance, stewardship, and Zero Trust principles across cloud, hybrid, and air-gapped systems Ensure compliance with frameworks including DoD 5015.02, ICD 503, and cross-domain access policies Align with joint acquisition standards and mission assurance objectives Innovation and Mission Impact Lead creation of white papers, technical roadmaps, and prototype solutions to influence modernization efforts Advance innovation in multi-domain data sharing, edge analytics, and AI/ML-driven insights that support time-sensitive operations Basic Qualifications: Active TS/SCI clearance Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related technical field Typically requires a minimum of 8 years of related experience with a Bachelor’s degree; or 6 years and a Master’s degree; or a PhD with 3 years’ experience; or equivalent combination of related education and work experience leading enterprise or tactical data architecture and engineering initiatives for national security or defense missions Demonstrated success in designing cloud-native and hybrid data platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP) Strong expertise in distributed systems, data modeling, event-driven architecture, and API-first integration Proven ability to lead interdisciplinary teams and engage senior mission stakeholders across technical and operational domains This position requires a minimum of 50% hybrid on-site Preferred Qualifications: Experience designing data architectures that support layered defense, dynamic fires coordination, and time-sensitive decision-making Familiarity with mission data platforms such as Palantir, Anduril, C2BMC, or JADC2-aligned environments Expertise in edge data processing, federation strategies, and survivable analytics in contested or low-bandwidth conditions Understanding of sensor-to-shooter integration, kill chain workflows, and multi-domain targeting synchronization Practical experience operationalizing AI/ML workflows, including model ingestion, feature engineering, and real-time inference Hands-on experience with AWS, Azure, or other cloud platforms is preferred; certifications are a plus but not required This requisition requires the candidate to have a minimum of the following clearance(s): Top Secret/SCI This requisition requires the hired candidate to have or obtain, within one year from the date of hire, the following clearance(s): Top Secret/SCI Work Location Type: Hybrid Commitment to Non-Discrimination All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to disability, status as a protected veteran or any other status protected by applicable federal, state, local or international law.
