## About the role

Data is foundational to how CHAOS develops, tests, and improves complex sensing systems. As the company scales, we need a data operating model that makes information consistent, trusted, secure, and usable across Engineering, AI, Test, and business teams.

## What they're looking for

- 10+ years of experience across data engineering, data platforms, data governance, analytics infrastructure, test data, or similarly complex technical environments, including significant team leadership
- 3+ years of management experience, ideally with prior experience managing teams incorporating non-exempt or contract employees
- You see data as both a technical platform and an operating discipline, not simply a reporting or analytics function
- You can move comfortably between data engineers, radar and test teams, security stakeholders, analysts, and senior leadership
- You build governance creating clarity and trust without unnecessary bureaucracy
- You are willing to get close to field operations and understand the practical realities of collecting, moving, and validating data
