To be eligible for this position, you must be a U.S. Person
, defined as a U.S. citizen, permanent resident, Asylee, or Refugee. This role requires an active U.S. Government Security Clearance at the TS/SCI level with an in‑scope CI poly
. Applicants who do not currently hold the required clearance will not be eligible for consideration. Employment for cleared roles is contingent upon verification of clearance status. Export Control/ITAR: Certain roles may be subject to U.S. export control laws, requiring U.S. person status as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3).

• Deconstruct complex and ambiguous intelligence questions to recommend structured analytic methodologies tailored to mission requirements.
• Evaluate and adapt existing analytic models, algorithms, and frameworks to improve objectivity, completeness, and predictive value of intelligence production.
• Design, develop, and maintain domain‑specific ontologies to enable semantic representation of data inputs, facilitating integration of data sources and interoperability with internal and external OMSs.
• Design, develop, and maintain knowledge graphs leveraging domain‑specific ontologies to support advanced data querying, data visualization, and integration of intelligence functions via OBI standards.
• Apply semantic web standards (e.g., RDF, OWL, SPARQL) to knowledge model entities, relationships, and vocabularies in accordance with industry and government data standards.
• Establish processes for ontology version control, change management, stakeholder and governance review to ensure accuracy, consistency, and compliance with IC and DoD policies and standards.
• Collaborate with team members to enhance semantic data retrieval and reasoning across knowledge graphs through development and optimization of data queries via multiple protocols (e.g., Graph
  
  QL, SPARQL, SHACL, SQL).
• Collaborate with team members to validate and refine exploratory efforts to automate ontologies and associated components to ensure semantic accuracy, relevance, and interoperability with existing knowledge modeling and knowledge graph capabilities.
• Collaborate with team members to evaluate effectiveness of exploratory efforts to automate ontology and associated component generation leveraging qualitative and quantitative metrics.
• Support capability development by contributing, editing, and storing ontologies and knowledge models in Government owned/controlled source version control repositories.

• Must be a U.S. citizen and have an active TS/SCI with CI poly.
• 20 years of experience and an advanced degree.
• Experience with structured analytic methods and designing repeatable analytic processes.
• Familiarity with semantic technologies and ontology development tools (e.g., Protégé).
• Excellent oral and written communication skills with an ability to tailor to technical and non‑technical audiences.
