POSITION SPECIFICS

We are seeking a Senior Data Engineer with deep expertise in database design, optimization, and data access strategies to support our growing data science and machine learning initiatives within the Computational Intelligence and Visualization Application Department in the Applied Research Laboratory (ARL) at Penn State . In this role, you will architect and optimize data systems that empower our data scientists to efficiently research, train, and deploy both traditional and ML-based algorithms and applications.

The ideal candidate is a PostgreSQL expert who also brings hands-on experience with other modern data storage technologies—such as NoSQL, graph, and time-series databases —and can guide the organization in choosing the right tools and structures for each data use case.

Located in either State College, PA or Reston, VA

You will:

Design and maintain scalable, high-performance database solutions to support data science workflows and ML experimentation
Partner with data scientists to understand data access patterns and develop storage strategies that accelerate analysis and model training
Serve as the internal subject matter expert on PostgreSQL —including schema design, indexing, partitioning, and query optimization
Evaluate and integrate alternative database technologies (e.g., MongoDB, Neo4j, Redis, Cassandra) where they provide clear advantages
Lead efforts to optimize data pipelines for both structured and unstructured data used in algorithm development
Ensure data integrity, security, and governance across storage systems
Implement monitoring, automation, and performance-tuning tools for all database environments
Advise on data lifecycle management—balancing accessibility for R&D with efficiency and compliance requirements

Required skills/experience includes:

5+ years of experience in data engineering, database architecture, or related technical roles
Expert-level proficiency in PostgreSQL (query tuning, schema design, indexing, partitioning, replication)
Strong understanding of data modeling , normalization vs. denormalization tradeoffs, and query optimization
Experience with non-relational databases (e.g., MongoDB, Cassandra, Neo4j, Redis, or DynamoDB)
Familiarity with machine learning workflows and how data is consumed for training, evaluation, and deployment
Experience with cloud database services (AWS RDS/Aurora, GCP Cloud SQL, Azure Database)
Proficiency in SQL and one or more scripting languages (Python preferred)
Excellent communication and collaboration skills—comfortable working closely with data scientists, ML engineers, and software developers

Preferred skills/experience includes:

Experience architecting hybrid data ecosystems spanning relational, NoSQL, and analytical databases.
Knowledge of data lake, warehouse, and feature store architectures (e.g., Snowflake, Redshift, BigQuery, Feast)
Familiarity with ETL/ELT frameworks and data orchestration tools (e.g., Airflow, dbt)
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, or a related field

Work location can be fully on-site located in State College, PA or Reston , VA. Questions related to flexible work should be directed to the hiring manager during the interview process.
