Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Engineer

The Opportunity:

As an experienced engineer, you know that machine learning is critical to understanding and processing massive datasets. In an increasingly connected world, massive amounts of structured and unstructured data open new opportunities. As an Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) Engineer, you understand the need for robust, scalable tools that enable efficient ML workflows at the enterprise level, enabling data scientists to build, test, and deploy models at scale. We need your technical knowledge and desire to problem-solve to support a variety of high-impact missions across sectors and domains.

In this role, you’ll own and define the direction of mission-critical solutions by applying best-fit ML algorithms and technologies. As an ML engineer, you’ll help define and develop MLOps pipelines and containerized solutions to enable secure, robust delivery of models to the enterprise. You’ll work closely with your client to understand their questions and needs, and then dig into their data-rich environment to find the pieces of their information puzzle. You’ll develop algorithms, write scripts, build predictive analytics, apply ML and deep learning, and use the right combination of tools and frameworks to turn that set of disparate data points into objective answers to help drive innovation, research, and development for our military and government leaders to make informed decisions.

Your advanced consulting skills and extensive technical expertise will guide clients as they navigate the landscape of ML algorithms, tools, and frameworks. Work with us to solve real-world challenges and help define AI and ML strategy for our clients.
