Deep Learning R&D Software Engineer Security Clearance

Position: Deep Learning R&D Software Engineer with Security Clearance
Deep Learning R&D Software Engineer At Expedition Technology (EXP), we work on real-world problems whose solutions will make an immediate impact on national security. If you desire an opportunity where you will apply your deep learning and software engineering expertise to challenging problems with no previously known solutions, EXP is the place to be! Currently, we are seeking an experienced Deep Learning and Software Engineer who will work with a dynamic team that is delivering novel solutions to our Intelligence Community.

We're looking for someone who has an in-depth understanding of DL architectures such as YOLOv8, Faster R-CNN, DETR, and other state of the art object detection models. The candidate should feel comfortable developing and testing end-to-end deployable systems; from sourcing and curating datasets, building, training, and evaluating models, to productizing final deliverables. As a DL Software Engineer, you will develop ML orchestration pipelines for novel Geospatial Object Detection problems, apply Sim-to-Real ML dataset techniques, design and implement custom algorithms and evaluation metrics, as well as produce technical reports.

We're looking for someone who has experience in developing robust deep learning models against different types of ML-driven adversarial attacks. The candidate should feel comfortable developing novel methods and algorithms, applicable to electro-optical (EO) imagery, for the detection, explanation, and mitigation of a wide range adversarial attacks on overhead detection models that operate in close to real-time. If you feel fulfilled by rolling up your sleeves and thinking about hard problems, building new deep learning algorithms from scratch, and working in a fast paced but scientifically rigorous environment, we want to hear from you!

Responsibilities include:

* Researching academic literature to keep abreast of the latest theories, techniques, and tools
* Working in a team to develop deep learning architectures and models for novel applications
