We're hiring multiple Analytic Methodologists to join our team. In this position you will support the development of analytic strategies to resolve key intelligence questions of mission-driven requirements. Analytic Methodologists will support a dynamic Object-Based Intelligence (OBI) program focused on predictive analytics, structured methodologies, and semantic integration across the defense intelligence mission set. This role involves designing and recommending analytic strategies, developing repeatable workflows, and engineering knowledge models to support anticipatory intelligence across a wide range of national security domains-including emerging technologies, geopolitical trends, military capabilities, and threat networks.
Responsibilities: A day in the life/What the position will be doing:
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 advance data querying, data visualization, and integration of intelligence function 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., GraphQL, 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.
