As a CV AI/ML Engineer, your responsibilities will include:

·       Opportunities to lead a small team consisting of developers and researchers to implement AI/ML algorithms to solve computer vision problems in remote sensing

·       Analyzing and pre-processing large remote sensing datasets

·       Researching supervised and unsupervised ATR solutions for remote sensing

·       Researching the performance benefits of multimodal data fusion for ATR, under diverse data collection scenarios

·       Training, optimizing, and deploying deep learning CV models that provide analysts with actionable insights

·       Reviewing relevant publications to understand cutting edge concepts, break down key ideas to government customers, and apply to defense and commercial applications

·       Writing technical documentation supporting code, program capabilities and user-guides

 

Qualifications: 

Required:

    Active TS/SCI government security clearance

·       B.S. in machine learning, computer science, mathematics, or related field
