CACI is looking for a Data Architect as part of the program leadership team. As the Data Architect, you will support and provide technical guidance to engineering teams supporting the customer with data models, data structures, and data interoperability. You will also support Engineering Teams with data tagging and data compliance. You will support the data architecture of critical information systems, which enables the mission success of some of the U.S. national security missions. This will require keeping up to date with the customers data models, data dictionaries, physical models, and data format specifications. Helping data modeling teams work across programs to build interoperable data models, use the models, keep the models up to date, perform analysis on the model to enable the customer to make better planning decisions. In addition, you will build and maintain Data Analytics chains, AI/ML models, applicable to Enterprise architecture and systems engineering needs and activities to produce solutions, data informatics to enable decision making.

What You'll Get to Do:

• Support the customer with recommending strategies for more effective data labeling, data tagging, and the associated tagging tools and methods.
• Provide technical expertise and infrastructure to accelerate leveraging data and models for IC applications.
• Develop logical and conceptual data models with a methodology.
• Create UML / SysML diagrams to support physical models and exchange formats.
• Develop domain logical data model artifacts: Logical Data Models, Data Element Dictionaries, Physical Data Models, Interface Control Documents (ICD), data format specifications, model release documentation, user guides, data harmonization and mappings.
• Produce data models and data mappings to support mission requirements by creating new formats and mapping data in legacy formats and data stores to modern formats and enterprise data stores, including formats within the enterprise microformat set.
• Define and analyze data requirements, create new data structures / microformats and perform architectural alignment with the ELDM and other enterprise formats.
• Model business and mission concepts, including their definitions, properties, and relationships.
• Develop data models thru collaboration with data modelers within the organization and from other organizations.
• Perform model alignment with domain and mission models with each other and with the enterprise models.
• Perform model validation with requirements and stakeholder input thru meetings, and technical peer reviews with subject matter experts.
• Support the high-level application of data standards across the enterprise by leveraging broad knowledge including IT, requirements, technical architecture analysis (e.g., understanding data flow diagrams, system architecture diagrams, etc.) and an understanding of functional and system analysis.
• Perform requirements and impact analysis to understand the data elements in their domains, relationships among those elements and model interdependencies leveraging technical reviews with SMEs and stakeholders.
• Provide support and related services to the implementation of enterprise data representations in various mission domains.
• Perform End-to-End systems engineering for data flows from the perspective of data format modeling, implementation, and support.
• Provide expertise in data modeling and data harmonization (the improvement of data quality and utilization using machine learning to look at data characteristics and data utilization) to transform or suggest subsequent data quality improvements resulting in new high quality data models and formats.
• Use data modeling tools to support generating customer data models.

You'll Bring These Qualifications:

• 5+ years of related experience
• Experience with CASE tools for database model development to include either proprietary tools (ERWIN, ER-Studio, Power Designer) or FOSS tools (Argo UML).
• Extensive working knowledge and practical use of data modeling and mapping techniques. Experience with customer legacy data formats. Knowledge and use of ASDF. In addition. Working knowledge with UML and XML technologies (CSDs and schemas, and XML generation), ontologies, and semantics.
• Understanding of the customers data labeling tagging, tagging tools and methods
