As an experienced engineer, you know that machine learning is critical to understanding and processing massive datasets. Your ability to conduct statistical analyses on workflow processes using ML techniques makes you an integral part of delivering a customer-focused solution. We need your technical knowledge and desire to problem-solve to support research and development for a key national defense client. As an Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) Engineer on our intelligence team, you’ll train, test, deploy, and maintain models that learn from data.

In this role, you’ll own and define the direction of mission‑critical solutions by applying best‑fit ML algorithms and technologies. You’ll be part of a large community of ML engineers across the company and collaborate with software developers and engineers as well as end users to deliver world‑class solutions to develop and drive solutions to remote sensing issues for operations clients. You will be testing and driving AI/ML concepts and solutions for a data‑intensive system.

As data feeds continue to be brought online, the relatively fixed number of operators needs your help driving solutions. Your advanced skills and extensive technical expertise will guide clients as they navigate the landscape of ML algorithms, tools, and frameworks.
