Design and build AI- and machine learning–enabled performance intelligence systems that continuously analyze operational performance data and identify emerging risks, degradation patterns, and improvement opportunities.
Design and implement analytical services, pipelines, and tooling in Python that incorporate AI/ML methods and transform operational data into continuously updated performance intelligence.
Build cloud-deployed analytical tools and services that enable automated or semi-automated detection of performance issues tied to contractual Service Level Requirements (SLRs).
Translate messy operational challenges into practical analytical solutions, combining statistical methods, machine learning techniques, and domain-informed logic.
Engineer reusable analytical capabilities, frameworks, and software components that strengthen the team’s long-term ability to diagnose and improve operational performance.
Collaborate with performance analysts, engineers, and program stakeholders to frame problems and design data-driven approaches to improving program outcomes.
Investigate systemic performance issues and engineer tools that surface root causes, prioritization signals, and improvement opportunities.
Communicate technical insights and analytical findings clearly to both technical teams and program leadership.
Support broader Navy performance initiatives by extending analytical methods and tooling beyond individual SLR use cases when appropriate.

Requirements
