  • Design and implement AI/ML systems using appropriate approaches, including deterministic automation, classical ML, NLP, document intelligence, generative AI, LLMs, RAG, agentic workflows, multi-agent systems, and MCP-based integrations.
  • Define and maintain reusable architecture patterns, engineering standards, evaluation methods, secure integration patterns, and MLOps/LLMOps practices across DOL agency teams.
  • Lead technical discovery and feasibility assessments, including data readiness, operational context, integration constraints, privacy/security impact, Responsible AI implications, and expected mission value.
  • Architect secure and scalable AI solutions using Government-approved cloud platforms, services, models, tools, data sources, APIs, repositories, and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Lead AI evaluation and TEVV activities addressing accuracy, relevance, retrieval quality, groundedness, hallucination, safety, reliability, bias and fairness, explainability, accessibility, performance, resiliency, and adversarial threats.
  • Ensure training, validation, and final evaluation datasets remain separated, documented, versioned, protected, and access-controlled.
  • Implement or oversee model versioning, experiment tracking, source control, automated testing, model and retrieval monitoring, drift detection, controlled retraining, rollback, and release-readiness controls.
  • Support Responsible AI documentation, AI risk assessments, RAIA packages, model cards, human-in-the-loop controls, AI use-case inventory inputs, and required Government approval packages.
  • Support security, privacy, Section 508 accessibility, ATO, architecture review, and operational-readiness activities.
  • Maintain source code, configurations, technical documents, testing evidence, runbooks, and release records in Government-controlled repositories.
  • Serve as a primary technical liaison to DOL agency stakeholders, the COR, Federal Project Manager, AI Governance, enterprise platform, cloud, security, privacy, architecture, and accessibility teams.
  • Provide peer review, technical coaching, quality oversight, and escalation support to the delivery team.
  • Support incident response, root-cause analysis, recovery, and corrective-action activities for production AI systems.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, data science, software engineering, information systems, statistics, engineering, or a closely related technical field; master's degree preferred.
  • At least seven years of hands-on experience in AI/ML engineering, software engineering, data engineering, cloud engineering, or enterprise architecture.
  • At least two years of hands-on experience delivering generative AI, LLM integration, RAG, model evaluation, agentic AI, production ML systems, or comparable AI-enabled capabilities.
  • Demonstrated experience architecting and delivering secure enterprise or Federal AI solutions.
  • Experience with AI model integration, APIs, data pipelines, vector databases, retrieval systems, AI orchestration, CI/CD, source control, model evaluation, monitoring, and MLOps.
  • Demonstrated knowledge of FISMA, NIST 800-series guidance, FedRAMP, FIPS, security engineering, privacy, Section 508/WCAG accessibility, and Federal ATO or equivalent authorization processes.
  • Ability to advise both technical and nontechnical stakeholders and lead work across AI, data, applications, UX, security, and program-management disciplines.
