• Advise project teams and stakeholders on technical approaches and solutions that align with domain-specific scientific and research goals.
• Participate in requirement elicitation and system design processes, offering domain-specific insights that influence software architecture and data modeling.

• Strong analytical and communication skills, with demonstrated experience in translating complex scientific concepts into technical documentation and system requirements.
• Familiarity with NCI Metathesaurus production workflows and procedures.
• Experience using terminology editing tools, OWL2, description logic, and Protégé for ontology development.
• Knowledge of major biomedical vocabularies and standards such as SNOMED CT, LOINC, ICD, NCIt, and UMLS.
• Experience working on interdisciplinary teams in biomedical informatics, research computing, or federal health initiatives.
• Excellent collaboration skills, with the ability to communicate effectively with technical and scientific audiences.
• Proactive and curious mindset, with a passion for applying science to solve real-world data and systems challenges.
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity and synthesizing information from scientific literature, standards bodies, and stakeholder input.
