The Opportunity

StaffRight Associates has partnered with an elite defense innovator to secure a high-caliber AI/ML Software Engineer capable of transforming complex signal intelligence data into actionable, automated insights. In this critical role, you will architect and deploy cutting-edge intelligent systems that support high-stakes Department of Defense and Intelligence Community missions. This is a rare opportunity to directly impact national security by building adaptive, self-governing analytical models that operate in highly dynamic, real-time environments.

What You’ll Do

  • Architect and implement advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning architectures optimized for sophisticated intelligence parsing and tactical choice-generation.
  • Engine predictive models using continuous data streams to execute anomaly detection, recognize intricate operational patterns, and classify complex, time-dependent events.
  • Integrate intelligent analytical pipelines seamlessly into large-scale enterprise frameworks, balancing high-speed execution with rigorous security protocols and long-term system stability.
  • Synthesize self-governing computational tools capable of processing raw data streams to extract key hidden characteristics and infer operational states with minimal user oversight.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional technical leaders to design comprehensive sensor processing networks that provide clear, intelligent clarity to frontline decision-makers.

What You Bring

Absolute Requirements

  • Active TS/SCI Security Clearance and valid United States citizenship (mandatory for consideration).
  • Academic Pedigree: Bachelor of Science degree or higher in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or a highly technical equivalent field.
  • Professional Experience: A minimum of 1 year of professional, hands-on exposure building machine learning infrastructure (3 to 5 years of established pedigree preferred).
  • Technical Mastery: Deep familiarity with model training lifecycle execution and industry-standard machine learning frame-ecosystems (such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or scikit-learn).
  • Engineering Foundation: Strong programming proficiency alongside direct application of mathematical and signal-processing analytical toolsets.
  • Architecture Familiarity: Proven understanding of advanced deep learning mechanics, neural networks, transformer frameworks, and attention-based mechanisms.
  • Operational Discipline: Comprehensive knowledge of MLOps methodologies, automated data ingestion pipelines, and rigorous validation/testing frameworks.

Highly Advantageous Capabilities

  • Exposure to foundational radio-frequency machine learning (RFML) or traditional digital signal processing.
  • Familiarity training Large Language Models, refining prompt structures, or building advanced multi-modal agent frameworks utilizing RAG, Chain-of-Thought, or multi-agent reinforcement learning.
  • Hands-on proficiency containerizing applications utilizing Docker or Kubernetes, alongside deployment experience across cloud platforms like AWS Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, or Google Vertex AI.
  • Mastery of low-latency model serving, real-time inference optimization, A/B testing, and continuous model performance telemetry.
  • Insight into adversarial AI defense, graph neural networks for network topology analysis, or an established track record of shipping end-to-end ML applications to production.
