The Chief Data and Artificial Intelligence Office (CDAO) mission is to accelerate the adoption of data, analytics, and artificial intelligence (AI) across the Department of Defense (DoD). The CDAO works across the Military Departments and Services, Joint Staff, Combatant Commands (CCMDs), Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), and other DoD Components to design, develop, field, and scale technologies, capabilities, strategies, policies, and other guidance related to data, analytics, and AI

Duties

Serves as a senior technological expert and source of guidance on the proper use of infrastructure, platforms, and application programming interface techniques. Utilizes mathematical and statistical techniques, elements of engineering theory, principles, and innovative efforts to develop new solutions to previously highlighted and or new problems or problems which may be totally lacking in precedent. As a recognized expert in computer science or engineering, provides technical guidance, advisory support, leads and assists on projects and/or major phases for broad and varied operations. Performs very complex, difficult assignments on an individual basis or as a team member/leader responsible for completing phases of an overall work effort. Leads or participates in cross-discipline teams working highly complex programs, projects, and/or studies. Designs and develops the CDAO common foundation infrastructure from requirements to implementation, including detailed design, analysis, testing, and optimization. Creates, designs, and documents vision, standards, policies, patterns, architectures, designs, and road maps for CDAO Common Foundation Infrastructure. Performs platform, application, and security assessments, including gap analysis using information gathering tools. Designs and deploys solutions/infrastructures/platforms based on these technologies. Ensures compliance of infrastructure, platforms, and applications to global standards. Assists in the evaluation of new products and services and makes recommendations for improvements. Contributes to the development and documentation of system architecture. Performs capacity and resource planning. Creates relevant documentation; such as diagrams, detailed assessments and design document. Designs and implements high-availability and multi-layer secure network infrastructures.

Qualifications

Basic Requirements: Computer Engineer GG-0854 or Electronics Engineer A. Degree: Engineering. To be acceptable, the program must: (1) lead to a bachelor's degree in a school of engineering with at least one program accredited by ABET; or (2) include differential and integral calculus and courses (more advanced than first-year physics and chemistry) in five of the following seven areas of engineering science or physics: (a) statics, dynamics; (b) strength of materials (stress-strain relationships); (c) fluid mechanics, hydraulics; (d) thermodynamics; (e) electrical fields and circuits; (f) nature and properties of materials (relating particle and aggregate structure to properties); and (g) any other comparable area of fundamental engineering science or physics, such as optics, heat transfer, soil mechanics, or electronics. OR B. Combination of education and experience -- college-level education, training, and/or technical experience that furnished (1) a thorough knowledge of the physical and mathematical sciences underlying engineering, and (2) a good understanding, both theoretical and practical, of the engineering sciences and techniques and their applications to one of the branches of engineering. The adequacy of such background must be demonstrated by one of the following:1. Professional registration or licensure -- Current registration as an Engineer Intern (EI), Engineer in Training (EIT)1 , or licensure as a Professional Engineer (PE) by any State, the District of Columbia, Guam, or Puerto Rico. Absent other means of qualifying under this standard, those applicants who achieved such registration by means other than written test (e.g., State grandfather or eminence provisions) are eligible only for positions that are within or closely related to the specialty field of their registration. For example, an applicant who attains registration through a State Board's eminence provision as a manufacturing engineer typically would be rated eligible only for manufacturing engineering positions. 2. Written Test -- Evidence of having successfully passed the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE)2 examination or any other written test required for professional registration by an engineering licensure board in the various States, the District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico. 3. Specified academic courses -- Successful completion of at least 60 semester hours of courses in the physical, mathematical, and engineering sciences and that included the courses specified in the basic requirements under paragraph A. The courses must be fully acceptable toward meeting the requirements of an engineering program as described in paragraph A. 4. Related curriculum -- Successful completion of a curriculum leading to a bachelor's degree in an appropriate scientific field, e.g., engineering technology, physics, chemistry, architecture, computer science, mathematics, hydrology, or geology, may be accepted in lieu of a bachelor's degree in engineering, provided the applicant has had at least 1 year of professional engineering experience acquired under professional engineering supervision and guidance. Ordinarily there should be either an established plan of intensive training to develop professional engineering competence, or several years of prior professional engineering-type experience, e.g., in interdisciplinary positions. (The above examples of related curricula are not all inclusive.) Computer Scientist GG-1550 Bachelor's degree in computer science or bachelor's degree with 30 semester hours in a combination of mathematics, statistics, and computer science. At least 15 of the 30 semester hours must have included any combination of statistics and mathematics that included differential and integral calculus. Qualifying Experience: To qualify at the GG-14, your resume must describe at least one year of experience that demonstrates the competencies necessary for immediate success in the position. Experience refers to any paid or unpaid experience, including volunteer work and Military service, that would be considered equivalent to work normally performed at the next lower grade level in the federal service. For this position, qualifying experience is defined as: Experience in providing technical guidance in respect to systems and platforms integration, Artificial Intelligence (AI) enabled systems, platform as a service, software as a service, project management, and design and development of infrastructure, platforms, and applications from requirements to implementation. Candidates must describe how they meet the qualifying experience and/or selective placement factor(s) within the body of their resume. All qualifications and education requirements must be met by the closing date of this announcement and clearly documented in your resume.me.

Education

There is no substitution of education for the qualifying experienceat the GG-13 grade level.

Transcripts are required.

To be creditable, education must have been obtained in an accredited college or university. You must report only attendance and/or degrees from schools accredited by accrediting institutions that are recognized by the U.S. Department of Education .
