Original job description

Job Title: AI / Machine Learning EngineerJob Description

This AI / Machine Learning Engineer role focuses on designing, developing, and deploying advanced machine learning and deep learning solutions for EO/IR imagery and sensor exploitation. You will build production-grade computer vision pipelines, support real-time and embedded deployments, and collaborate closely with cross-functional engineering teams to transition cutting-edge prototypes into operational applications.

Responsibilities

Design and implement machine learning and deep learning algorithms for EO/IR imagery and sensor exploitation.
Develop AI solutions for object detection, classification, tracking, segmentation, anomaly detection, and pattern recognition.
Build and optimize computer vision pipelines for real-time or near-real-time image and sensor data processing.
Create and maintain data ingestion, labeling, and feature engineering workflows to support robust model training.
Support deployment of AI/ML algorithms onto embedded, edge, and space-qualified computing environments.
Collaborate with systems engineers to derive AI requirements and validate algorithm performance against mission needs.
Work with software engineers to transition AI/ML prototypes into reliable, production-grade operational applications.
Evaluate model performance using mission-relevant metrics and datasets, including accuracy, precision, recall, false positive rate, false negative rate, and F1 score.
Explain performance tradeoffs between precision, recall, and overall model accuracy in the context of mission requirements and operational constraints.
Apply optimization techniques and analyze the impact of different optimizers such as SGD and RMSProp on model convergence and performance.
Train and evaluate models using large-scale image or sensor datasets, ensuring scalability and reliability.
Develop automated testing, validation, and model monitoring capabilities to ensure ongoing model quality and stability.
Support customer demonstrations, technical reviews, and program milestones with clear technical communication and results.
Contribute to research and development initiatives involving advanced sensing technologies and autonomous systems.
Develop software solutions within Linux environments, integrating AI/ML components into broader system architectures.

Essential Skills

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Physics, or a related technical field.
8+ years of professional software engineering experience developing production-grade applications.
5+ years of hands-on experience designing, training, validating, and deploying machine learning and/or computer vision models.
Demonstrated experience supporting imagery analysis, image exploitation, image processing, object detection, classification, segmentation, or pattern recognition applications.
Professional experience working with deep learning architectures, including Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), object detection frameworks, and end-to-end computer vision pipelines.
Strong Python development experience and proficiency with common AI/ML development libraries.
Strong understanding of machine learning model evaluation metrics, including accuracy, precision, recall, false positive rate, false negative rate, and F1 score.
Ability to clearly explain performance tradeoffs between precision, recall, and overall model accuracy based on mission requirements and operational constraints.
Solid mathematical foundation in probability, statistics, linear algebra, optimization, and model performance analysis.
Demonstrated understanding of optimization techniques and ability to explain the impact of different optimizers such as SGD and RMSProp on model convergence and performance.
Experience training and evaluating models using large-scale image or sensor datasets.
Experience developing software within Linux environments.
Hands-on machine learning or artificial intelligence experience in a professional setting.
Professional software development experience with a focus on AI/ML and computer vision applications.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

Experience supporting Electro-Optical (EO), Infrared (IR), or multi-spectral imagery systems.
Experience developing AI/ML solutions for satellite imagery or remote sensing applications.
Background in advanced sensing technologies and autonomous systems research and development.
Willingness to consider relocation after approximately one year to locations such as Chantilly, VA, Tucson, AZ, or Long Beach, CA.
Strong collaboration skills and ability to work effectively with systems engineers and software engineers.
Ability to present technical concepts clearly during customer demonstrations, technical reviews, and program milestones.

Work Environment

This role offers a remote work environment, providing flexibility in daily work location while engaging in highly technical, mission-focused projects. You will primarily work within Linux-based development environments using Python and common AI/ML libraries to build and integrate computer vision and machine learning solutions. Collaboration will occur virtually with cross-functional engineering teams, and you will participate in remote technical reviews, demonstrations, and project milestones.
