What You Will Do

Develop and maintain canonical data models, define and steward the enterprise data governance framework, design data integration patterns, enforce aviation data exchange format compliance, produce data architecture artifacts, and establish a master data management capability.

Why It Might Be a Fit

This role complements the existing SW & Data Architect positions by providing dedicated depth on data modeling, aviation exchange formats, master data management, and data integration engineering — freeing the SW & Data Architects to focus on software, cloud, and pipeline architecture.

• Working knowledge of aviation data exchange formats — SWIM, FIXM, AIXM — or comparable domain-specific exchange standards (HL7, ISO 20022) with a plan for aviation ramp-up
• Experience designing data integration patterns — ETL/ELT, streaming (Kafka, Kinesis), event-driven, CDC — for high-volume operational data
• Experience with cloud data platforms (AWS GovCloud, Azure Government) — Redshift, Glue, Athena, Snowflake, Databricks, or equivalents
• Experience defining data dictionaries, metadata catalogs, and lineage tracking
• FAA or DoD data architecture experience preferred
