The ideal candidate understands the end-to-end data engineering lifecycle, and brings rigor to the testing, verification, and validation (V&V) of data pipelines and collections to ensure accuracy, reliability, and trust.

Core Position Responsibilities

• Leverage Splunk ITSI to develop and manage KPIs, service definitions, glass tables, and episode dashboards to provide real-time insights and visibility
• Design and deliver dynamic, intuitive dashboards in Power BI and Tableau that communicate key metrics to both technical and executive audiences
• Collaborate with stakeholders across IT, business, and finance to translate mission needs into analytical solutions and forecast models
• Partner with data engineering teams to understand data flows, support validation processes, and ensure quality across source systems and downstream products
• Perform and document testing, verification, and validation (V&V) of data pipelines and collections to ensure integrity and trustworthiness
• Contribute to data governance and data quality frameworks across enterprise systems

Required Skills & Experience

• Position requires an Active Top Secret/SCI with Full Scope Polygraph
• Bachelor's Degree required, Master's preferred
• 12+ years of related work experience
• Demonstrated experience analyzing business, engineering, cost, and security data across enterprise platforms
• Hands‑on expertise in Splunk ITSI, including configuration of services, KPIs, and service health monitoring tools
• Strong skills in Power BI, Tableau, SQL, and Excel for analysis, modeling, and executive reporting
• Familiarity with ServiceNow data models, workflows, and reporting structures
• Understanding of the data engineering lifecycle and collaboration with data pipeline teams
• Experience with data validation and V&V processes to ensure the accuracy, completeness, and consistency of data used in decision‑making

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in Agile, Scrum, or ITIL‑aligned operational environments
• Familiarity with modern data platforms (data lakes, cloud data environments) and structured/unstructured data management
• Ability to create multi‑layered dashboards that serve business, operations, and technical audiences
• Clear communicator with a strong ability to translate complex analysis into actionable insights aligned to mission objectives
• Curiosity‑driven and impact‑oriented—driven to uncover the "why," not just the "what"
