About the position

The successful candidate will be part of the KBR team supporting the Test Resource Management Center's (TRMC) Big Data (BD) and Knowledge Management (KM) Team deploying BD and KM systems for DoD testing Ranges and various acquisition programs. This position is remote-capable, allowing candidates to work from one of KBR's facilities or from home, provided they have a stable internet connection. The role involves the deployment and integration of a highly visible data analytic project called Cloud Hybrid Edge-to-Enterprise Evaluation Test & Analysis Suite (CHEETAS) at multiple DoD ranges and labs. The candidate will collaborate with data science and software engineering team members to support customers by demonstrating insights gained from analyzing DoD Test & Evaluation data. Responsibilities include deploying and configuring Big Data and Knowledge Management tools in an enterprise environment, troubleshooting various Big Data ecosystem tools, and working with a wide range of stakeholders at different experience levels. As a CHEETAS deployment subject matter expert, the candidate will act as a critical part of the technical team responsible for deploying CHEETAS within customer environments. This includes close collaboration with system administrators and software developers to communicate, document, and resolve deployment issues. The candidate will provide deployment services to various DoD testing Ranges and acquisition programs, deploying CHEETAS within disparate environments, sometimes located within DoD vaults with no outside internet connectivity. The position requires travel of approximately 25%, with potential surges up to 50% to support end users at various DoD Ranges and Labs across the United States. This requisition will be used to hire multiple individuals, and entry-level Integration Engineers will not be considered due to the breadth of knowledge necessary for success in this position.
