About this role
LMI is a new breed of digital solutions provider dedicated to accelerating government impact with innovation and speed. The Strategic Data Engineer will support a critical Army mission by transforming complex technical data into actionable insights for senior leadership.
Responsibilities:
- Design and implement automated workflows to facilitate cross-system data flow
- Identify and visualize critical interdependencies between hardware components and software systems across the enterprise
- Support the integration of data across programs and the software acquisition pathway to monitor real-time program health
- Analyze large datasets of requirements across multiple programs to pinpoint duplications
- Drive consolidation to eliminate waste and streamline operations
- Develop and maintain data models that allow for 'what-if' scenario planning and enterprise-level ontologies to ensure consistent data definitions across various programs
- Assess how changes in one program impact the broader system-of-systems portfolio
- Utilize data-driven 'downtracing' methods to refine solution architectures and ensure every requirement is traceable from high-level mission goals down to technical implementation
- Translate complex data models into compelling narratives, dashboards, and briefings
- Clearly communicate project requirements, resource gaps, and the impact of various investment trade-offs to senior Army leadership
Requirements:
- 8+ years of experience in data engineering or architecture, or systems engineering, preferably within a Department of War or Army environment
- Advanced experience with data integration tools and languages (e.g., Python, SQL, or specialized MBSE tools like Cameo or MagicDraw)
- Proven ability to perform complex data mapping and identify interdependencies in a 'system-of-systems' architecture
- Exceptional ability to present technical data to non-technical executive audiences, focusing on resource allocation and decision-making
- Bachelor degree in Engineering, Data Science, Computer Science, or a related technical field
- Active INCOSE (ASEP/CSEP), OCSMP model certification, or something related
- Understanding of human-centered design and UIUX best practices
- Familiarity with Army acquisition processes, CPE models, the Army's modernization priorities, and implementing data governance standards to ensure interoperability
- Experience building data bridges or integrations between System Modeling tools (e.g., Cameo or Capella/Arcadia) and Analytics platforms (e.g., Vantage)
- Active Secret or Top Secret clearance preferred
- Experience with digital engineering frameworks and requirements management tools (e.g., DOORS)
- Knowledge of Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) standards to ensure data portability and system interoperability
