Data Integration Manager Jobs

What You Will Do

This position will be filled at either the Solutions Architect 3 or Solutions Architect 4 level, depending on the qualifications and experience of the selected candidate.

Weapons Research Services (WRS) is seeking a Data Integration Architect to recover, understand, and operationalize archived physics analysis codes as governed, Super Intelligence (SI)-enabled analysis skills. These capabilities will allow authorized users to reproduce historic analyses and, when appropriate, reconstruct experimental data products from the governing physics, source data, and documented assumptions. The position will be filled in the WRS Weapons Mission Technology group and will work closely with the WRS Data Operations and Governance center, physicists, code developers, and mission customers to make trusted analysis capabilities discoverable, reusable, and verifiable.

Solutions Architect 3 $117,200 - $195,400
As a Solutions Architect 3, the candidate will perform tasks and be responsible for including, but not limited to, the following:

• Evaluate archived LANL physics analysis codes and workflows, including their purpose, inputs, assumptions, dependencies, execution environments, outputs, post-processing, and known limitations.
• Work with analysts and subject-matter experts to determine whether a set of analysis code can be reliably reproduced by SI and reused for analysis of experimental data.
• Recreate representative analyses using appropriate datasets; identify missing dependencies, undocumented assumptions, and differences from historical results.
• Package validated code workflows as reusable SI-enabled analysis skills or archived capabilities with documented inputs, outputs, configuration requirements, and intended use.
• Develop test cases and comparison methods that demonstrate a skill faithfully reproduces the underlying analysis within documented limits.
• Capture provenance for code versions, input data, parameters, execution configurations, and results so analyses can be traced and repeated.
• Work with data stewards and repository owners to ensure associated data and skills have appropriate access controls and are usable in governed workflows.

Solutions Architect 4 $141,500 - $238,300
As a Solutions Architect 4, in addition to the responsibilities outlined at the lower level, the candidate will perform tasks and be responsible for including, but not limited to, the following:

• Establish the architecture, standards, and lifecycle practices for converting physics codes into governed, reusable SI-enabled analysis skills in a production environment.
• Lead prioritization and readiness assessments across a portfolio of candidate codes and datasets, including risk, resource, sustainability, and mission-value considerations.
• Define enterprise standards for SI skill interfaces, stable identifiers, versioning, provenance, verification evidence, access attributes, and authoritative reference sources.
• Lead cross-disciplinary teams to resolve scientific-fidelity issues and ensure skills generate validated, reproducible analysis results.
• Design integration patterns connecting analysis skills to Laboratory repositories, APIs, data models, and SI-enabled workflows in a production environment.
• Represent the capability at architectural and data-governance boards; translate mission requirements into executable technical strategy and mentor staff to use the capability.

What You Need

Minimum Job Requirements:



Technical Knowledge
Working knowledge of how physics and engineering simulation and analysis codes are built, configured, run, verified, and validated. Demonstrated experience developing, maintaining, or integrating production-quality scientific, data-integration, or SI-enabled software. Ability to assess existing source code in multiple coding languages, build environments, dependencies, and scientific workflows.

Technical Excellence
Demonstrated experience establishing reliable, reproducible computational analyses through version control, configuration management, provenance capture, test cases, and documented validation methods. Experience developing or integrating APIs, schemas, or other interfaces used by scientific or data-management teams.
Working knowledge of data-access controls, repository-backed workflows, and secure computing environments. Demonstrated ability to learn unfamiliar scientific domains and legacy computational systems quickly and apply sound technical judgment to resolve complex problems.

Leadership
Demonstrated ability to plan and execute moderately complex technical work with limited direction; identify risks, communicate constraints, and coordinate effectively with scientists, software engineers, data stewards, and management. Commitment to quality, accountability, collaboration, and safety in the workplace.

Communication
Excellent interpersonal, oral, and written communication skills. Ability to document technical methods, code configurations, validation evidence, and operating procedures for both technical and non-technical audiences; communicate findings, risks, and recommendations clearly to project stakeholders and management.
