ABOUT THE JOB
You'll take defined work-streams end-to-end — ingestion pipelines, data models, dashboards, and the small services that tie them together — so the team can run more of them in parallel. You'll partner closely with product-line Hardware Test teams, software and infra teams, and corporate analytics to ship real, production-grade data products that replace and enhance the tools we rely on today.
Executional autonomy is a foundational pillar of this team. You'll be expected to drive the design, the partnerships, and the delivery. We're looking to encourage you to be a collaborator that feels comfortable proposing alternative solutions and even helping give shape to how the team executes over time.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Own data workstreams end-to-end from ingestion of source data through Foundry transforms and ontology modeling to the dashboards and tools that consume them
Build and maintain Foundry pipelines, data models, and data quality checks
Build internal-facing dashboards and analytics products that serve flight test engineers, middle management, and leadership
Write small production services (Python or Go) when integrations demand it — webhooks, bridges, daemons — and partner with the broader SWE organization when the work belongs with them
Partner directly with product-line Hardware Test leads, software engineering teams, and infrastructure teams to align on data contracts, ingestion patterns, and shared priorities
Write clear design docs and RFCs that align stakeholders around technical decisions before code ships
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
3+ years of data engineering, platform engineering, or equivalent experience owning data systems end-to-end
Strong Python and SQL; experience with DataFrame-based transforms (Pandas, PySpark, Polars, or similar)
Experience owning a data pipeline or integration end-to-end from ingestion through to a downstream consumer (dashboard, service, or model)
Hands-on experience integrating with REST APIs, webhooks, or third-party data sources
Experience building internal-facing dashboards or analytics products — owning the full stack from data to UI
Comfortable working on a small team (1-3 people) where scope is fluid and you're often the only person on your piece of work
Think like a data product owner — when building a pipeline or model, you can independently reason about what questions it needs to answer downstream, not just what data to move
Write clear design docs and technical RFCs that align stakeholders, not just serve as documentation after the fact
Experience with ontology modeling or data modeling for heterogeneous sources
U.S. Persons status is required as this position needs to access export-controlled data
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
Experience with Palantir Foundry — transforms, ontology, Workshop, Streamlit
Experience in robotics, aerospace, defense, or hardware-adjacent data environments
Comfortable reading or contributing to git repos in languages other than Python (e.g. Go, Nix, Terraform, etc.)
Experience using agentic coding tools as part of your daily workflow
Must be able to obtain and hold a U.S. Top Secret security clearance
