At MITRE, your passion fuels work that impacts our nation and improves lives. This is where your skills strengthen national security, cybersecurity, health, transportation, and citizen services. We’re a nonprofit engineering, applied research, and advanced technology organization working in the public interest. With objectivity and integrity at our core, we lead federally funded research and development centers for U.S. government agencies – collaborating with industry and academia to deliver integrated, high-impact solutions that advance our nation’s health, security, and prosperity. Our people tackle the toughest technical challenges, supported by competitive benefits, meaningful career development, and a culture of innovation, collaboration, and technical excellence. Choose MITRE for a career with purpose — and help shape the future.
MITRE's Center for Government Effectiveness and Modernization, Veterans, Military Health, and Benefits Division partners with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the Defense Health Agency (DHA) to address some of the nation's most complex enterprise challenges. Our teams engage directly with senior government sponsors and stakeholders to understand mission priorities, translate complex technical challenges into strategic outcomes, and help shape solutions that advance sponsor objectives. Our work spans Veterans Health Administration (VHA), Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA), VA Central Office, and Military Health, where we support sponsors in modernizing enterprise operations, improving mission delivery, and implementing innovative technical and data-driven solutions.
Our multidisciplinary teams combine expertise in data analytics, data science, systems engineering, software engineering, enterprise architecture, artificial intelligence, modeling and simulation, acquisition, and digital modernization to develop objective, practical solutions that improve mission outcomes. We partner directly with government sponsors to analyze complex technical challenges, design and develop innovative solutions, and deliver measurable impact.
We seek applicants with strong technical expertise who can independently solve complex technical and enterprise problems, contribute to multidisciplinary teams, communicate effectively with government sponsors and stakeholders, and translate analysis into practical, mission-focused solutions.
Support the design, analysis, integration, and implementation of data-driven and technical solutions for Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and Defense Health Agency (DHA) initiatives, translating mission needs into practical approaches and high-quality deliverables.
Understand government sponsor and stakeholder priorities, analyze technical and operational challenges, communicate complex information clearly, and develop actionable recommendations that support sponsor decision-making.
Independently execute a broad range of technical assignments and may lead project tasks, workstreams, simple projects, or small teams spanning data analytics, data science, business intelligence, artificial intelligence, systems engineering, automation, and digital modernization.
Apply data analytics, visualization, and business intelligence methods to integrate and interpret complex data, identify trends and root causes, develop dashboards and decision-support products, and improve operational and mission outcomes.
Evaluate and apply technical approaches and tools – including Python, SQL, R, Power BI, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, large language models (LLMs), natural language processing, automation, and related emerging technologies – to improve analysis, repeatability, and delivery quality.
Collaborate across technical and mission teams to build consensus, document requirements and processes, apply systems and process-improvement methods, and develop reusable analyses, models, procedures, and implementation artifacts.
Typically requires a minimum of 5 years of related experience with a Bachelor’s degree; or 3 years and a Master’s degree; or a PhD; or equivalent combination of related education and work experience.
