Lockheed Martin
LockheedMartin Missiles and Fire Control is accelerating the digital connectivity of our tools. As we mature the digital thread architecture and AI/ML capabilities mature, we must rapidly apply the later to the former. The Data Forge Center of Excellence (COE) translates raw data into actionable insights that reduce program risk, accelerate schedule, and improve cost performance across the enterprise. As the team scales, we need a visionary leader who can shape the COE, champion best in class analytics, and deliver high impact solutions to our program partners.
