AI Engineer / Data Scientist

High Side Technology has a need for a senior-level AI engineer. The program enables innovative AI tools and analytic tradecraft by providing NSG/IC analysts and data scientists capabilities to automate manual intelligence tasks and implement AI/ML capabilities to include agentic designed to analyze and generate geospatial intelligence data, in combination with data from other intelligence disciplines.

The project objective is to provide an integrated AI tools, LLMs, RAGs, agents, and agentic AI capabilities that allow analysts and scientists to analyze and triage data from multiple intelligence sources and models.

Responsibilities:

• Responsible for using various programming algorithms to build, test and deploy AI/ML models and agentic AI.
• Coordinating with other team members, developers, analyst and scientist
• Conducting statistical analysis and interpreting the results to guide an organization's decision-making process
• Automating important infrastructure for analysts and scientists
• Developing infrastructures for data transformation and ingestion
• Building AI models that make predictions based on large quantities of data
• Explaining the usefulness of the AI models to a wide range of individuals within the organization, including collaborators and product managers
• Develop APIs to interact with other applications
• Ensure the establishment of complete and accurate system-level functional/performance requirements that are clear, traceable from strategic capabilities to validated customer and operations needs/requirements, and consistent with the program’s architecture objectives and acquisition strategy.
• Provides technical coordination, architecture guidance, and support for project development
• Define the milestones and control gate success criteria and evaluate entry/exit readiness during design reviews and audits to ensure protection of baselines and to assist in risk identification and resolution.
• Plan and coordinate data management practices to treat and handle data as a resource.
• Assist Government in managing system development and deployment efforts, moves or modernization changes including analysis, IT and cloud requirements, network security measures, and other factors.
