Responsibilities
- check_circle Design, develop, and maintain formal ontologies using OWL, RDF/RDFS, and SPARQL aligned with DoD mission engineering requirements and semantic interoperability standards.
- check_circle Build and deploy knowledge graph solutions that integrate structured and unstructured data sources across heterogeneous, multi-domain defense systems.
- check_circle Apply and extend upper-level ontology frameworks, ensuring alignment with DoD and IC data standards.
- check_circle Design and implement graph-based AI and semantic solutions, including LLM-integrated pipelines, RAG architectures, and agentic workflows that leverage knowledge graph representations.
- check_circle Collaborate with engineers, systems architects, and mission-domain SMEs to translate operational requirements into actionable ontological models and knowledge architectures.
- check_circle Support semantic integration and data interoperability efforts across legacy and modern system architectures, including graph database deployments (e.g., Stardog, Neptune, Neo4j).
- check_circle Lead the development and writing of technical approaches for proposals related to supporting the Navy adopt AI technologies
