## Description

We are seeking an Artificial Intelligence (AI) Solutions Architect as a senior technical authority on the CMS Fraud Prevention Services (FPS) team, owning the integration architecture that allows three external agentic AI vendors be onboarded into vendor-isolated enclaves inside the FPS ATO boundary. This role will develop AI solutions using Peraton tools to detect fraud, waste, and abuse.

Responsibilitie includes the following:

 * Design the integration architecture for onboarding third-party agentic AI tools into vendor-isolated DISM enclaves inside the FPS ATO boundary.
 * Author a common data package specification (schema, sampling strategy, PHI/PII handling, refresh cadence, packaging) that every evaluated vendor consumes.
 * Define the per-vendor integration pattern for data access, identity federation, audit-log routing, and tenant isolation.
 * Provide deep, hands-on LLM and agentic-AI expertise (RAG, fine-tuning, tool-use/MCP, multi-agent orchestration, LLMOps) to internal Peraton teams and CMS technical stakeholders.
 * Ensure every architectural design embeds security, quality, PHI/PII, and governance controls appropriate to the FPS environment.
