Governance & Quality – Establish data governance standards, data quality metrics, and reproducibility practices across the analytics lifecycle.

Basic Qualifications:

Must have a Bachelors degree in a STEM field and at least 5 years of relevant military / professional experience, OR a Master's Degree in a STEM field and at least 3 years of relevant military / professional experience, OR a PhD and at least 1 year of relevant military / professional / academic experience
