Position Summary

MAG Aerospace is staffing for a Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning Data Engineer.

This position will lead the development of intelligent systems that transform multi-modal sensor data into actionable intelligence for tactical operations. You'll leverage COTS, FOSS/OSS, and custom development to build or integrate everything from edge computer vision to conversational AI assistants, while managing the data pipelines that feed these systems in the most challenging environments. While you'll have a core expertise in either data engineering or model development, you have a passion for mastering the full stack of AI systems.

US Citizens Only

Former US Defense Contractor / US Gov / US Military Experience Only

Build data engineering pipelines for ETL, feature engineering, and model training
Create analytics dashboards and business intelligence solutions for operational insights
Implement multi-modal sensor fusion algorithms (visual, thermal, acoustic, RF)
Design and maintain data lakes, warehouses, and real-time streaming architectures
Develop conversational AI interfaces using open-source LLMs (Llama, Mistral, etc.)
Establish and enforce data quality standards, validation checks, and governance procedures throughout the data lifecycle
Develop and implement robust testing and validation strategies for AI/ML models, including performance under degraded data conditions, adversarial testing, and operational scenarios

Secondary Responsibilities:

Optimize AI workloads for embedded platforms (Jetson, Intel Neural Compute Stick)
Implement hardware acceleration using CUDA and TensorRT
Profile and optimize memory/power consumption for edge devices
Support embedded systems team with AI-specific hardware integration
Design distributed inference systems for degraded network conditions
