Data Engineering & Architecture Manager

We are looking for a Data Architecture Manager to help lead Electric Boat's transformation toward a modern, scalable, AIready 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 nextgeneration applications.

This position requires a forwardthinking architect who can balance pragmatism with innovation: knowing when to modernize, when to integrate, and when to redesign-while ensuring stability for missioncritical 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.

Lead and Develop a Team

• Build, lead, and mentor the Data Architecture team, advancing EB's modeling, ontology, integration, and metadata capabilities.

• Provide clear direction while empowering architects and engineers to solve complex problems.

Required:

• Bachelor's degree in Data Science, Computer Science, Information Technology, or Engineering

• 4+ years of supervisory experience
• Experience partnering across enterprise, solution, application, infrastructure, security, and AI architecture domains.
• Experience developing enterprise data strategies and multiyear technology roadmaps.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a Secret security

Preferred:

• Experience with modern data platforms, data lakes/lakehouses, streaming architectures, APIs, and eventdriven architectures.
• Experience supporting AI/ML, generative AI, or advanced analytics initiatives.
• Experience with data governance, data quality, metadata, master data, and information management.
• Experience with semantic layers, ontology development, or enterprise modeling.
• Experience working in complex, highly regulated enterprise environments.
• Experience with cloudbased data platforms and modern data architecture patterns.
• Experience defining targetstate architectures and building transition roadmaps.
