You will be part of a team designing machine learning solutions from the lab to the field.
Responsibilities:
You will develop, train, and analyze AI/ML systems such as deep reinforcement learning (DRL) analytics, explainability (XAI), adversarial machine learning methods, and model interpretability tools. You will strategically plan projects and architect elegant solutions. You'll work on a mix of projects, some of which will include other data scientists, others of which will require you to help educate non-data-science teams on the value and limitations of machine learning solutions. You will:
- Architect AI solutions and navigate difficult tradeoffs.
- Help identify and design training data sets.
- Implement and customize AI models from open literature.
- Develop MLOps pipelines.
- Visualize and communicate your results in written documents and oral presentations.
- Brief technical concepts and results to non-specialist audiences.
- Bring in new work to the Technical Solutions division through proposals and conferences.
- Help develop junior engineers. You will add value beyond your own technical contributions.
- You'll support multiple teams and must be able to work effectively with other teammates.
Basic Qualifications:
- A master's degree in computer science, math, physics, or a related field (or bachelor's degree plus 2 additional years of experience).
- Strong intellectual curiosity. Our solutions often require creative implementations and combinations of state-of-the-art methodology.
- Ability to identify, understand, and apply relevant research literature
- You must possess or can obtain an active Secret clearance.
This is a mid-senior level position. We are looking for extensive hands-on experience with deep learning models. We expect strong software development fundamentals in Python and the ability to organize a team to work efficiently.

- Experience with MLOps tools (PyTorch Lightning, Optuna, MLflow, etc.)
- Experience deploying and maintaining AI models in production.
- Experience with DevOps tools (Git, Gitlab, CI/CD, Remote Computing, Docker)
- Experience with time series data, satellite imagery, and graph neural networks.
- Experience leading AI projects that require multidisciplinary solutions.
- Demonstrated experience explaining technical concepts and data analysis results to non-specialist audiences, both through written documents and oral presentations.
- Experience participating in SBIR or STTR projects or similar research programs
- Experience working in a fast paced environment with rapid prototyping
