SCMDataFusion Architect, Sr. Staff

Job ID: BR

Description:
What does this role look like?

Lockheed Martin's End to End Resiliency framework combines early S&BD partnership, Space level Supplier Relationship Management (SRM), Supplier Designation process, Proactive Technical Strategy Reviews (TSR) reviews, Capability and Capacity assessment backed by risk management tools and aggressive contracting. Although these actions create a layered defense of early detection, supplier development, contractual alignment, and continuous risk scoring, they still rely on manual data pulls and static dashboards. To close this gap, we are developing AI enabled decision support tools that fuse internal supply chain data (ERP, SRM, PLM, contract systems) with external market intelligence and advanced analytics. The resulting platform delivers real time, data driven insight directly to GSC stakeholders-engineers, designers, program managers, and sourcing teams-so they can evaluate alternatives, assess risk, and make faster, more accurate sourcing decisions.

The SCM Data Fusion Architect brings together people, processes, and technology needed to make this vision a reality. Acting as the trusted liaison among Supply Chain Management, Strategic Business Development, GSCO Corporate AI/ML Council, and various AI/ML IT development teams, you will help define and develop:

➥ Data Ingestion Pipeline to Map each source (internal and external data pipelines) to an ingestion layer.

➥ AI ready data models that enable market trend analysis with a Standardized Data Model.

➥ New data capabilities - like Ranked list of qualified alternate source, cost inflation trends, lead time forecasts.

➥ Train and validate predictive models metrics and dashboards, that provides end to end visibility from design through delivery.
➥ AI based assessment of production line data, defect trends, and delivery performance.
➥ Real time supplier health index and early corrective action plans.

By constructing the data foundation, pipelines, and governance needed for the AI engine, you will convert internal and external data into clear, actionable insights that enable smarter sourcing, stronger supplier partnerships, and a resilient supply chain for our space programs. Your work will have a direct mission impact-delivering next generation supply chain resiliency that safeguards programs, lowers costs, and improves win rates.

In this role you will have the following daily key responsibilities:

➔ Capture & Prioritize Requirements: Collaborate with SCM, Strategic Business Development, the Corporate AI/ML Council, and AI/ML engineering teams to define, rank, and document data, model, and interface specifications.
➔ Design the Supplier Data Fabric: Partner with developers and domain experts to architect a unified data foundation that represents supplier performance, capabilities, financial health, and strategic alignment.
➔ SCM Project lead: Establish market intelligence resiliency tool timelines, monitor milestones, manage cross team dependencies, and keep senior leadership informed of progress and risks.
➔ Validate AI Features & Models: Work closely with AI/ML scientists to ensure feature integrity, track model performance, and embed explainability techniques (e.g., SHAP) into risk scoring visualizations.
➔ Drive Continuous Improvement: Analyze usage data, collect user feedback, and review operational metrics to iteratively refine ingestion pipelines, feature definitions, and UI/UX designs.
➔ Enable & Mentor Users: Conduct training and knowledge
