** MEANINGFUL WORK AND PERSONAL IMPACT:*
* As a  
** Data Scientist Senior** , the work you'll do at GDIT will be impactful to the mission of USCENTCOM's mission to become a data-centric organization. You will play a crucial role in supporting analytics, automation, and intelligent system development within a secure, on-premise and hybrid environments.

Roles and Responsibilities:

+ Use of open-source tools and platform for developing and deploying AI/ML models at scale.

+ Deliver operational insights, automate mission workflows, and apply machine intelligence to high-priority defense challenges.

+ Develop and Train AI/ML Models:
Create supervised, unsupervised, and deep learning models using open-source libraries (e.g., PyTorch, Tensor Flow, Scikit-learn) to support forecasting, classification, anomaly detection, and autonomous system behavior.

+ Deploy and Operationalize Models:
Package and deliver models via containerized technologies (e.g., Docker, Podman, Kubernetes) for execution in on-premise and edge environments (e.g., Jetson, rugged laptops).

+ Design Edge-Compatible ML Solutions:
Build lightweight, optimized models for low-power or disconnected environments; support fielded capabilities requiring minimal compute and latency.

+ Lead MLOps Implementation:
Use tools such as MLflow, DVC, Kubeflow, and Git for model versioning, reproducibility, and secure lifecycle management.

+ Collaborate with Multi-Disciplinary Teams:
Partner with data scientists, Dev Sec Ops  teams, engineers, and analysts to align model development with operational requirements, and support AI integration into mission workflows.

+ Enable Real-Time Sensor Integration:
Develop models that consume real-time data from local sensors, devices, or systems (e.g., video, radar, comms), delivering actionable results with minimal delay.

+ Ensure Data Security and Compliance:
Engineer AI pipelines that adhere to Defense security, encryption, and data handling standards, including tagging, metadata management, and retention policies.

** WHAT YOU'LL NEED TO SUCCEED:*
* Bring your expertise and drive for innovation to GDIT. The Data Scientist Senior must have:

+

Education:

Bachelor Degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Data Science, Applied Mathematics, or related technical field.

+ Certification:
Compliant with DoD Directive 8140 (such as the CompTIA Security + CE or other related IT certs)

+

Experience:

5+ years of related experience

+

Required skills:

+ Strong experience with Python, open-source ML libraries (e.g., PyTorch, Tensor Flow, Scikit-learn, XGBoost, Light

GBM), and scientific computing frameworks.

+ Expertise in Data Management best practices, design and engineering for large-scale data systems

+ Ability to translate end-user's high-level requirements into detailed analytics to be processed in SIEM, AI/ML custom and cloud-managed solutions.

+ Demonstrated ability to deploy models in air-gapped or on-prem environments, using Docker/Kubernetes/Podman.

+ Hands-on knowledge of MLOps tool chains (MLflow, DVC, Kubeflow), version control (Git), and secure Dev Sec Ops  principles.

+

Experience with model optimization and conversion (e.g., ONNX, Tensor

RT, OpenVINO) for tactical and edge deployment.

+ Proven ability to work in classified or secure Defense environments, following cybersecurity and data stewardship protocols.

+ Experience integrating models into CI/CD pipelines, analytics platforms, or decision support tools.

+ Desired

Skills:

+

Experience with edge AI hardware (NVIDIA Jetson, Coral TPU, rugged ARM/x86 systems).

+ Knowledge of NLP, computer vision, or reinforcement learning techniques applied to defense.

+ Familiarity with Apache Spark, Hadoop, and distributed data frameworks.

+ Background in real-time messaging protocols (e.g., MQTT, ZeroMQ, ROS) for edge-to-core communication.

+ Familiarity with USCENTCOM operational data systems, networks, and mission requirements.

+ Understanding of Defense AI/ML strategies, ethical AI standards, and responsible deployment principles.
