AI Engineer - Mission Innovation Lab

As an AI Engineer who thrives at the intersection of deep-learning research and production-grade software development, you will translate cutting-edge AI concepts into robust, mission-scale solutions for the warfighting community.

Requirements

• Design, develop, and fine-tune a variety of AI models.
• Design autonomous agents and multi-step pipelines using LangChain, ReAct, tool-calling, or custom orchestration; employ the Model Context protocol to manage stateful interactions.
• Build Retrieval-Augmented Generation pipelines that combine external knowledge bases with LLMs to improve factual accuracy for warfighting applications.
• Implement end-to-end data pipelines, ETL processes, and back-end services (Python, C/C++, Java) that feed data to models.
• Create CI/CD pipelines for model training, validation, containerized deployment (Docker/Kubernetes), and security scanning; maintain model registries, monitoring, and version control of context protocols.
• Produce rapid prototypes, run benchmarks, and conduct robustness/adversarial testing in realistic environments.
• Work closely with senior ML engineers, software developers, and government customers; mentor junior staff and contribute to design reviews and documentation.
• Stay current with emerging LLM architectures, agentic paradigms, PEFT/LoRA methods, and AI-safety techniques; translate new research into operational capabilities.
