AI​/ML Engineer Poly

Basic Qualifications

TS/SCI w/poly

2 years experience in applied machine learning in programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity is required.

A B.S. degree in advanced math (e.g., calculus, linear algebra or Bayesian statistics), computer science or related STEM discipline from an accredited college or university is required.

3 years of additional machine learning experience (total of
5) on projects with similar machine learning processes may be substituted for a bachelor’s degree.

The Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) Engineer designs, creates, tests, and productizes AI/ML algorithms to solve business challenges. The AI/ML models they create should be capable of learning and making predictions as defined by the business logic developed to meet customer requirements. The AI/ML Engineer should be proficient in all aspects of model architecture, data pipeline interaction, and metrics application, interpretation, and presentation.

The AI/ML Engineer needs familiarity with foundational concepts of application development, infrastructure management, data engineering, and data governance. Through an understanding of training, retraining, deploying, scheduling, monitoring, and improving models through iterative user and system feedback, the AI/ML Engineer designs and creates scalable solutions for optimal performance. The AI/ML Engineer may be responsible for leading geographically diverse teams and will often serve as a primary POC for AI-related matters, so must have exceptional analytical, problem‑solving and communication skills.
