This role focuses on developing production-grade models and data pipelines, working closely with technical and operational stakeholders to translate field requirements into scalable solutions while aligning with compliance, data privacy, and security standards.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design, develop, and deploy AI/ML models to support OFO operational use cases (e.g., risk assessment, workload optimization, and situational awareness).
- Build and maintain Python-based data pipelines to collect, clean, and prepare structured and unstructured data for model training and inference.
- Implement and manage models using common ML frameworks such as TensorFlow or PyTorch, including experimentation, evaluation, and tuning.
- Operationalize AI/ML solutions in cloud environments (AWS or Azure preferred), including packaging, deployment, monitoring, and performance optimization.
- Collaborate with OFO mission stakeholders to understand operational workflows and translate business and field requirements into technical specifications and model features.
- Document models, pipelines, and processes to support transparency, reproducibility, and governance.
- Work as part of a cross-functional team of engineers, analysts, and mission stakeholders, contributing to sprint planning, design reviews, and technical discussions.
The ideal candidate must have the following experience, background, and credentials:
- Education: BA/BS in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, or a related field.
- 3+ years of experience in data and automation engineering with a strong background in Python and AI/ML
- Proficiency in Python and common data/ML libraries (e.g., NumPy, pandas, scikit-learn).
- Experience with at least one major machine learning framework, such as TensorFlow or PyTorch.
- Experience designing, testing, and deploying robust ETL workflows and integrating with enterprise data systems.
- ==== able to pass a background investigation by the client agency. Public trust clearance with CBP is strongly preferred, other DHS clearance or DoD Top Secret is a plus.
