* Lead design and implementation of knowledge graph architectures using RDF triple stores, SPARQL 1.1, OWL 2 reasoning, GeoSPARQL, and SHACL validation per Ontology & Knowledge Modeling requirement.
* Lead TEVV protocol design and execution for AI/ML models and analytic algorithms; ensure compliance with ICD 203, DoD Ethical Principles for AI, and NIST AI RMF 1.0.
* Engineer containerized Dev Sec Ops  pipelines (Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins, Git Lab, Fortify, Sonar Qube) for ATO-compliant software delivery infrastructure-as-code requirement.
* Provide technical support to Lead AI Architect and Lead Ontologist in fulfilling DIEKM/DICO compliance, cross-domain interoperability, and Government data rights obligations.
* Integrate AI/ML systems with the QAF dashboard; ensure model outputs feed real-time quality metrics, performance trends, and TEVV compliance data to Government-accessible dashboards.
* Ensure all developed software, AI models, weights, and training data comply with (Government Ownership); maintain complete model cards, version histories, and deployment documentation.
* Lead technical PI planning, architectural runway development, and cross-team dependency resolution; mentor mid-level engineers and conduct code reviews to maintain engineering standards.
