• Must be a U.S. Citizen with the ability to obtain a DoD Secret Clearance
• Typically 2-4 years of related engineering experience in systems, software, or hardware engineering
• Hands-on experience designing and implementing agentic AI components or autonomous decision‑making capabilities
• Strong proficiency in modern machine learning techniques, including model development, evaluation, and optimization
• Experience building reasoning, planning, or multi-step workflow automation using AI agents
• Ability to design and evaluate autonomous behaviors, control logic, and adaptive responses under guidance from senior engineers
• Skilled in developing scalable AI pipelines, simulation tools, or experimentation environments
• Solid understanding of safety, reliability, and assurance considerations for AI-driven systems
• Proficiency with Python and common AI/ML frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX, LangChain-style orchestration)
• Ability to translate mission objectives and constraints into technical requirements and actionable development tasks
• Experience with data engineering practices such as preprocessing, feature extraction, and sensor/mission data handling
• Strong analytical problem-solving skills and ability to drive technical tasks to completion
• Effective communication skills for describing AI system behavior, trade-offs, and design choices to teammates and stakeholders
• Familiarity with distributed systems, cloud technologies, or edge compute environments for AI model deployment
• Ability to provide informal mentorship, support junior contributors, and collaborate effectively in a cross-functional team

Desired Skills:

• Experience developing multi-agent systems or coordinating agentic workflows
• Background in autonomous systems, robotics, or intelligent control
• Familiarity with reinforcement learning, planning algorithms, or neuro-symbolic methods
• Knowledge of mission data pipelines, sensor fusion, or real-time decision-support systems
• Experience with high-assurance or safety-critical AI development approaches
• Proficiency in designing AI evaluation frameworks, synthetic data generation, or simulation-based testing
• Understanding of human-machine teaming concepts or explainable AI practices
• Experience deploying AI models on edge compute platforms or constrained environments
• Familiarity with model governance, ML Ops, or lifecycle management tooling
• Experience supporting DoD, aerospace, or defense-oriented mission solutions
• Ability to contribute to architecture discussions, technology assessments, and long-term AI capability planning

Benefits include the following:

• Healthcare coverage
• Retirement plan
• Life insurance, AD&D, and disability benefits
• Wellness programs
• Paid time off, including holidays
• Learning and Development resources
• Employee assistance resources
