Data Engineer – IE, Ops Research

• Focus on engineering, building, and maintaining data pipelines, applications, workflows, and governance capabilities inside the Palantir platform, particularly Code Repositories, Workshop, Slate, and AIP.
• Build and configure data pipelines using Code Repositories and Pipeline Builder.
• Build applications and workflows using Workshop and Slate within Palantir.
• Develop data pipelines involving collecting, transforming, cleaning, and validating data, using Palantir.
• Develop and maintain governance applications that monitor platform performance, compliance, and operational health.
• Implement and maintain platform‑driven automations and monitoring capabilities.
• Coordinate with non-technical users to gather requirements.
• Identify, summarize, and catalog data fidelity issues, and make recommendations to the client on how to resolve or mitigate the issues.
• Apply industrial engineering methods (time studies, process mapping, Lean/Six Sigma, constraints analysis) to improve depot and sustainment processes.
• Conduct capacity, throughput, and bottleneck analyses for depot maintenance, MRO, supply chain, and production environments to inform investment, resourcing, and modernization decisions.
• Integrate data from ERP/MRO/maintenance systems into simulation models to generate actionable insights for forecasting, scheduling, and scenario analysis.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional stakeholders (operations, supply chain, engineering, analytics) to design and test “what‑if” scenarios that support strategic planning and infrastructure decisions.
• Prepare and deliver clear decision‑support briefings, visualizations, and recommendations for senior leaders regarding depot performance and modernization impacts.
• Support adoption of advanced analytics and digital engineering approaches (e. g., predictive modeling, digital twins) to improve depot efficiency and readiness outcomes.
• Develop trusted relationships with clients at all levels of the organization to obtain a more complete perspective and understanding of our clients’ mission, challenges, and goals to deliver tailored solutions.
• Support business development efforts (e. g., responding to RFPs/RFIs, developing white papers, creating pitch decks and capability briefings, etc.).
