DoD AI/ML Opportunity

Our client is responsible for the development and delivery of high-fidelity threat missile modeling and missile defense software products in support of the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) and MDA's Missile Defense System (MDS). They are also responsible for the development of models and simulations (M&S) used to stimulate element models of the MDS, including kinematic missile modeling, infrared and radar signature modeling, data production/analysis activities, and maintenance/sustainment activities for the TASD software baseline.

• The ideal candidate will possess a fundamental understanding of AI/ML principles, experience supporting AI/ML projects from conception to deployment, and strong communication skills. As an AI/ML Engineer, you will be responsible for supporting development of AI/ML products directly feeding the AI/ML strategy, communicating AI/ML concepts and results to both technical and non-technical audiences, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver innovative AI-powered solutions. The selected individual must be able to work with little direct supervision, work as an integral member of a product delivery team, and meet time critical delivery schedules.

Responsibilities include:

• Support the full lifecycle of AI/ML projects, from problem definition and data collection to model development, deployment, and monitoring.

• Support design, development, and implementation of AI/ML models and algorithms using appropriate tools and techniques.

• Ensure the quality and accuracy of AI/ML models through rigorous testing and validation.

• Support collaboration with software engineers and DevOps teams to deploy AI/ML models into production environments.

• Support the AI/ML lead in monitoring the performance of AI/ML models in production and support the AI/ML lead identify areas for improvement.

• Communicate AI/ML concepts and results effectively to both technical and non-technical audiences.

• Work in close coordination with multiple teams that will leverage AI/ML products.

• Work with AI/ML Lead to define problem statements and success metrics for AI/ML products.
