Lead Data Solutions & AI Engineer (P-8A Production)

PMA-290 (P-8A Poseidon) is seeking a highly specialized, dedicated Data Analytics and Software Engineer to serve as the sole technical anchor for the Production team as a 'unicorn' problem-solver. This position will operate with high autonomy to modernize, automate, and streamline PMA-290 production execution. Immediate focus will be to untangle complex, disparate data streams and build scalable, user-friendly tools that directly improve ability to deliver the P-8A Poseidon. You must have a bias toward solving problems quickly and iterating, rather than architecting the perfect solution before taking action.
