* * CACI is currently looking for a
** Mid-Level AI/ML Computer Vision Engineer
** to join our BEAGLE Agile Solution Factory (ASF) Team supporting the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) client located in Northern Virginia!

As a Mid-Level AI/ML Engineer on our Computer Vision team, you will work within a specialized 3-person pod dedicated to building custom object detection and classification models using the
** YOLO
* * framework. Your mission will be to process live and recorded Full-Motion Video (FMV) feeds, enabling automated parsing of entities like roads, vehicles, people, and terrain features. You will play a hands-on role in bringing raw production video into our secure training environment, curating datasets, training models, and deploying high-performance inference pipelines.### What you’ll get to do:
* ** Model Training & Experimentation:
** Train, fine-tune, and evaluate custom
** YOLO
* * object-detection models on proprietary datasets. Run experiments with different hyperparameters, augmentations, and model sizes to find the optimal balance of speed and accuracy.
* ** Data Engineering & Ingestion:
** Process, clean, and format raw video files recorded from production environments into high-quality datasets for training.
* ** Dataset Annotation & Curation:
** Manage the data annotation lifecycle, labeling images and video frames, verifying annotation quality, and generating synthetic data where needed.
* ** Inference Pipeline Development:
** Write Python scripts to parse video frames, feed them into inference engines, and export structured prediction data (JSON/Protobuf) representing detected objects.
* ** Model Evaluation:
** Generate performance reports, confusion matrices, and precision-recall curves to identify model blind spots and continuously improve detection capabilities.
* ** Collaborative Agile Delivery:
** Work closely with the Senior AI/ML Lead, video engineers, and developers in an Agile/Scrum framework to deliver production-ready code in short sprints.###

*
* Required:

*** Programming in
** Python
* * and using core machine learning libraries (Num Py, Pandas, Scikit-Learn).
* Hands-on experience with
** PyTorch
* * or Tensor Flow for training neural networks.
* Experience implementing
** YOLO** (e.g., YOLOv8/v9) for object detection, segmentation, or classification.
* Familiarity with image and video processing techniques using
** OpenCV
* * or FFmpeg.
* Data curation, formatting, and experience using data annotation platforms (e.g., CVAT, Label Img).
* Using
** Git
* * for version control and collaborating on shared codebases.
* Strong analytical skills, with a focus on benchmarking model performance (mAP, FPS, inference latency).###
