AI/ML Engineer

Overview

GovCIO is currently hiring for AI/ML Engineer develops and integrates advanced machine learning and large language model systems to support defense simulation, data fusion, and autonomous decision-support capabilities. This role builds scalable AI pipelines and agent-based frameworks that enable secure, intelligent, and interoperable mission environments.. This position will be located in Colorado Springs, CO and will be a onsite position.

Responsibilities

Responsible for designing and implementing advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning solutions that support complex defense simulation and data integration environments. This role focuses on building scalable AI architectures, integrating heterogeneous data sources, and enabling autonomous and agent-based systems within secure, sandboxed platforms to support mission-driven analysis and decision-making.

• Develop and maintain automated data pipelines to ingest, parse, and integrate non-standard defense data, intelligence feeds, and weapon system profiles.
• Design, implement, and fine-tune large language models (LLMs) and agentic AI frameworks using modern programming languages such as Python and C .
• Build and manage APIs and integration layers to connect disparate AI/ML services into unified simulation and analysis environments.
• Support the development of autonomous and semi-autonomous agent systems for decision support and simulation use cases.
• Advise on the architecture and implementation of secure sandboxed environments for testing, validation, and deployment of AI solutions.
• Collaborate with government and technical stakeholders to ensure AI systems meet operational, security, and performance requirements.
