Employment Type: FULL_TIME

Overview

We are looking for a Data Architecture Manager to help lead Electric Boat’s transformation toward a modern, scalable, AI‑ready data ecosystem. This is not a role focused solely on creating data models or maintaining existing data structures. Instead, we need a leader who can bridge our current environment and our future state—someone who understands how to work within a complex legacy landscape while designing and implementing a modern data foundation that supports analytics, AI, automation, and next‑generation applications.

This position requires a forward‑thinking architect who can balance pragmatism with innovation: knowing when to modernize, when to integrate, and when to redesign—while ensuring stability for mission‑critical operations. The ideal candidate is comfortable navigating a large enterprise, influencing across organizational boundaries, and translating business goals into practical, actionable technology and architecture decisions. 

Key Responsibilities:

Enterprise Data Architecture & Strategy 

• Develop and evolve the enterprise data architecture strategy in alignment with business and technology objectives. 
• Define target-state data architecture and practical transition paths from current to future-state environments. 
• Establish architecture principles, standards, patterns, and governance that promote scalable, consistent, and secure data solutions. 

 Build the Foundation for AI and Advanced Analytics 

• Define the data architecture required to support the organization’s AI and machine-learning strategy. 
• Help establish trusted, accessible, well-governed data that can be effectively used by analytics and AI teams. 
• Partner with data science, AI, product, and business teams to understand emerging data requirements. 
• Evaluate new technologies and architectural approaches for data platforms, AI, real-time data, data products, and analytics. 
• Help ensure that data is discoverable, appropriately governed, secure, and usable across the enterprise.
