  • Optimize graph performance through effective indexing, partitioning, caching, and query tuning.
  • Integrate knowledge graphs with Azure OpenAI, Microsoft Copilot, and agentic AI frameworks to enable GraphRAG, hybrid retrieval, semantic grounding, and explainable AI outcomes.
  • Establish ontology lifecycle governance, including semantic consistency, metadata management, data lineage, stewardship, versioning, and change control.
  • Collaborate with domain experts, business stakeholders, data architects, and AI teams to translate business requirements into scalable semantic solutions.
  • Serve as a technical subject matter expert for ontology engineering, knowledge graphs, and enterprise semantic architecture initiatives.

  • Experience with ontology modeling tools such as Protégé or equivalent platforms.
  • Hands-on experience with Neo4j or similar graph database platforms.
  • Proficiency in graph query languages, including Cypher, Gremlin, and SPARQL, along with graph performance optimization techniques.
  • Practical experience with enterprise lakehouse/data lake architectures and Azure data services or Microsoft Fabric.
  • Strong programming and data processing skills in Python, PySpark, and SQL.
  • Experience implementing GraphRAG, vector databases, hybrid retrieval, and knowledge graph integration with Azure OpenAI or other LLM-based platforms.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and stakeholder collaboration skills.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with Stardog, Ontotext, or equivalent ontology and knowledge graph platforms.
  • Familiarity with Data Mesh architectures and enterprise semantic-layer implementations.
  • Experience working with manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, industrial products, or engineering data.
  • Understanding of digital twins, AI-driven analytics, and enterprise knowledge management.
  • Experience delivering scalable semantic solutions across complex enterprise data ecosystems.
