Join us as we use data science for good in bringing decision support and innovation to our clients. In this role, you'll help define the direction of mission-critical solutions by applying data science best practices and technologies. You'll be part of a large community of data scientists, machine learning engineers across the firm and collaborate with data engineers, data visualization developers, data architects, and ISR product owners and mission experts. This team will deliver world class solutions to implement the ISR Artificial Intelligence, Automation, and data Augmentation (AAA) and cloud strategy across the ACC ISR enterprise by modernizing the digital environment to meet the requirements of 5th Generation Warfighting, Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2), Advance Battle Management System (ABMS), the Sensing Grid, Agile Combat Employment (ACE), the Intelligence Community's (IC) Augmenting Intelligence with Machines (AIM), Information Environment, and Information Technology Environment strategies. This role will also include applying advanced consulting or extensive technical expertise and full industry knowledge. Develop innovative solutions to complex problems. Your advanced consulting skills and extensive technical expertise will guide clients as they navigate the landscape of data science, tools, and frameworks.

If you have the drive to solve real-world challenges and define data science strategy for the Air Force, there's a place for you here. At Booz Allen, you'll make a difference with us, and, in return, we'll invest in your future.
