JMark Services is seeking a high-impact AI/ML Services Development & Support Engineer to drive the design, development, and sustainment of cutting-edge machine learning solutions in support of critical national security missions.

You’ll collaborate with world-class engineers, mission operators, and government leaders to bring AI/ML from the lab to the field — ensuring our systems remain agile, scalable, and mission-ready at all times.

• Collaborate with stakeholders (government, mission planners, domain experts) to define requirements for AI/ML services.
• Research, design, develop, test, and deploy AI/ML models across domains (vision, natural language, detection/classification, anomaly detection, etc.).
• Support model lifecycle management: training, validation, performance monitoring, retraining, tuning, and maintaining model pipelines.
• Integrate ML services into systems / platforms, including edge / embedded or cloud environments as required.
• Provide operational support: debugging, performance optimization, resolving issues in deployed services.
• Maintain technical documentation: architecture, experiment results, version control of models, data flows, definitions of metrics.
• Conduct risk assessments and apply best practices for AI/ML development: bias, fairness, security, robustness.
• Assist with tasks such as data preparation, feature engineering, and dataset versioning.
• Support prototyping efforts and rapid experimentation; stay up to date on state of the art AI/ML techniques, frameworks, tools.
• Possibly travel for integration events, field tests, or mission engagements.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Data Science, or related technical field. Master’s/PhD preferred.
• 4-6+ years of experience in AI/ML development, with at least some work in operational / production environments.
• Experience with ML frameworks (e.g. Tensor Flow, PyTorch, scikit-learn, etc.), and deployment / inference pipeline tools.
• Proficiency in programming (Python, etc.), familiarity with containers / cloud or embedded deployment.
• Strong understanding of model evaluation metrics, validation, performance testing.
• Experience with dataset management, feature engineering, handling large, possibly multi-modal datasets.
• Excellent communication skills — ability to present technical work to non-technical mission customers.
• U.S. citizenship required; active TS/SCI clearance or ability to obtain.

• Familiarity with edge computing, embedded systems, or constrained compute environments.
• Experience with natural language processing, computer vision, anomaly detection, or generative models.
• Experience with Dev Sec Ops , CI/CD pipelines for ML, container orchestration (Kubernetes, etc.).
• Knowledge of security, privacy, and ethical aspects of AI/ML (secure data handling, model robustness, adversarial awareness).
