Original job description

Standard Job Description

Join Lockheed Martin’s Data & AI Enablement organization and accelerate the company’s AI transformation. As a lead data engineer, you will design, build, and productize data assets that power AI agents, analytics, and enterprise applications across the Enterprise Data Ecosystem (EDE). In addition, you will lead the development, governance, and expansion of the enterprise ontology, ensuring consistent semantic definitions and relationships across all data products.

Key Responsibilities

Lead end‑to‑end development of corporate and functional data models and pipelines – from raw data ingestion from source systems to gold-layer entities - so that they can be productized as certified data products.
Define product vision, roadmap, SLAs, usage metrics, and continuous‑improvement cycles for all data assets.
Develop, maintain, and govern the Enterprise ontology (concepts, relationships, taxonomies) and deploy it for use by AI agents and analytics applications across the corporation.
Ensure data models deliver clean, well‑documented feature sets for machine‑learning pipelines; work with data scientists to embed model‑ready attributes (feature stores, lineage metadata).
Implement security, governance, and compliance (encryption, fine‑grained access, data lineage) via Unity Catalog and cloud IAM
Collaborate with team architects to validate designs.
Optimize Databricks performance with auto‑scaling, caching, and Delta Lake tuning.
Establish standards, best practices, and certification processes for data products and ontology assets.
Mentor and develop engineering talent through code reviews, hands‑on workshops, paired‑programming, and defined growth paths/competency matrices.
Advise on the technology stack used in team operations.

Basic Qualifications

Bachelor’s (or higher) in Computer Science, Systems Engineering, Information Management, or a related field.
7 + years of large-scale data architecture/engineering experience, with at least 4 years focused on productizing data assets for enterprise consumption.
Significant experience developing ontologies.
Demonstrated ability to probe for and understand core customer needs as opposed to surface-level needs.
Strong programming skills in Python and SQL; proficient with Spark (PySpark/Scala) and deep experience with AI-assisted development..
Experience with data‑integration/orchestration tools (e.g., NiFi, Airflow) for pipeline development.
Must be a US citizen.

Desired Skills

Experience with Databricks (Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, Jobs/Workflows).
Experience with federated data models and ontologies.
Excellent interpersonal and collaboration skills for cross‑functional teamwork and internal‑customer support.
Master’s degree or advanced technical training (optional).
Databricks certifications (Data Engineer Associate/Professional) or comparable big‑data credentials.
Experience developing applications leveraging genAI.
