## Description

PLEX Solutions, A Part of Markon is looking for an AI/ML Engineer to support a program in the Annapolis Junction, MD area., * Design and integrate LLM/agent orchestration workflows using agentic frameworks such as LangGraph, Agno, and the NVIDIA NeMo Agent Toolkit.

 * Tune model gateway routing logic to select, evaluate, and optimize across multiple frontier and open-weight models for cost, performance, and mission fit.
 * Develop and integrate RAG pipelines, vector databases, and memory services to give agents access to mission knowledge and context.
 * Implement MCP (Model Context Protocol)-based tool-broker integrations so agents can safely and securely access enterprise tools and data.
 * Evaluate, benchmark, and tune models and agent behaviors; build automated evaluation pipelines to track quality, safety, and performance over time.
 * Partner with data scientists and mission analysts to translate research and prototypes into production-grade AI capabilities for the command.
 * Implement AI governance guardrails - content/safety filters, policy enforcement, and approval gates - for agentic workflows, and document model/agent architectures and evaluation results for reuse.
 * Research and evaluate emerging LLM, agent, and AI tooling to keep the command's AI capability current and adaptable.
