AI Process Integration Engineer, Senior (TS/SCI w/ Polygraph)

Location: McLean, VA (On-site)

Job Type: Full-Time

Clearance Requirement: Active TS/SCI with CI Polygraph (Required)

Position Overview:

Praescient Analytics is seeking a talented and driven AI Process Integration Engineer to support a critical national security mission with the National Counter Terrorism Center (NCTC).

The AI Process Integration Engineer, Senior bridges the gap between approved, network-ready AI/ML tools and their operational use across NCTC intelligence analysis, targeting, and screening workflows. Rather than waiting for new tools, this role maximizes the mission value of existing software by redesigning workflows, configuring tools for specific use cases, and driving rapid analyst adoption.

Key Responsibilities:

AI Tool Configuration & Workflow Integration

• Optimize Existing Tools: Evaluate approved AI/ML tools on the customer network to bridge configuration gaps and maximize underutilized capabilities.
• Mission Customization: Configure approved tools into existing workflows for specific analyst tasks (e.g., entity triage, pattern correlation, RFI processing) without triggering new review board actions.
• Process Redesign: Map current analytic workflows to eliminate manual bottlenecks, designing future-state processes that embed AI at high-friction points.
• Standard Operating Procedures: Maintain before/after process documentation, SOPs, and metrics tied directly to mission outcomes.

Tool Enablement & Change Management

• Prompt Engineering: Build mission-specific prompt libraries, template guides, and a Document Support Playbook Suite (draft assist, tradecraft review, classification checks) to make AI tools instantly usable for non-technical analysts.
• Drive Adoption: Work alongside analysts, targeters, and mission leads to deliver hands-on demonstrations, training materials, and embedded transition support.
• Performance Metrics: Establish KPIs tracking AI utilization, analyst productivity, and cycle-time reductions to provide leadership with data-driven evidence for scaling tools.
• Operational Liaison: Serve as the functional bridge between technical AI/ML engineers, the analytic workforce, and program leadership.

Job Requirements & Qualifications:

• Experience: 10+ years in AI/ML tool deployment, systems integration, or process engineering-including 5+ years supporting the IC, DoD, or Federal law enforcement.
• Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related field.
• Technical Proficiency: Hands-on experience with AI/ML tool configuration, prompt engineering, workflow modeling (BPMN), and data pipelines within multi-classification networks.
• Methodologies: Practical knowledge of Lean Six Sigma, Agile, or continuous improvement frameworks applied to intelligence environments.
• Core Competencies: Strong analytical thinking with the ability to translate complex AI capabilities into practical mission value for non-technical users.
• Active TS/SCI with CI Polygraph (Required)
