## About the Role

The successful candidate will be experienced in both software development and the development of AI systems. The job entails the integration of AI software components into prototypes and integrated systems, many of which have realtime or near-realtime processing requirements. This necessitates a detailed understanding of processing speeds in a data pipeline, control of latencies and management of overflow and underflow, and the ability to creatively leverage heterogeneous processing options across different types of hardware to accelerate computations. Familiarity with AI model distillation techniques, or other methods for edge AI processing, would be very helpful.

On the software development side of the work, the successful candidate will be able to leverage any of the available AI frameworks, be skilled in containerization, package management, etc. and ideally have full stack dev experience.

Must Have

 * Bachelor's Degree
 * 5 years Software/Algorithm Development
 * 3 years AI / Machine Learning Algorithm Development
 * 3 years AI/ML Infrastructure and GPU Compute
 * 3 years AI application development (generative AI, ML, and NLP)
 * 3 years AI frameworks and libraries (TensorFlow, PyTorch, or scikit-learn)
 * 3 years Deep Learning
 * 3 years Deploying and maintaining application infrastructure (Generative AI technologies a plus)
 * 3 years Generative AI and inference
 * 3 years ML Algorithm Design : Supervised/Unsupervised
 * 3 years PyTorch
 * 3 years Troubleshoot complex AI-related issues
 * 2 years C/C++ Programming
 * 5 years GIT/GITHUB
 * 5 years Object Oriented Software Design and Development
 * 5 years Software Architecture
 * 5 years
 * Software Design/Development
 * 5 years XML and SQL
 * 5 years Maven or Gradle, Git / Gitlab, Make / Autotools

Desired Skills:
Very desirable - familiarity with image processing, or communications and RF engineering would be very helpful in this role, since the majority of the data sources are either imagery or RF SIGINT recordings.

## Description

Aquila Technology is seeking a Software Developer to support one of the nation's premier defense research organizations. The ideal candidate will bring strong expertise in both software development and the development of AI algorithms and technologies. This role focuses on creating novel techniques and approaches for discriminative and generative AI tasks, rather than simply leveraging existing open-source AI models to accelerate software development.
