I have another opening for similar skill set for ECS FEDERAL. They do not need to have Government experience for this one but need to be US Citizen and not have Dual Citizenship (meaning they can't have US Citizenship and hold Citizenship for any other country) and have ability to get Public Trust.
I am not looking for architects or managers – we are looking for hands-on (very heads-down) AI/ML Engineers. I have rejected a lot of candidates who are not hands-on engineers and are more architect/design.
