Serve as the authoritative technical point of contact to all USG Stakeholders. Lead onsite demos, test events, and anomaly triage exercises. Be available for on-site meetings, test events, and experiments. AI/ML Technical Leadership
Coordinate model onboarding (internal and from third-party subcontracted vendors). Generate and/or validate data preprocessing contracts, inference APIs, and explainability artifacts. Generate a process for reusable model performance measurement including monitoring and acceptance thresholds (e.g. precision/recall, latency). Backlog Governance
Manage backlog to ensure highest value work is prioritized, balancing AI/ML R&D spikes, infrastructure, HMI, and other work. Maintain backlog health through regular agile ceremonies and asynchronous work, ensuring alignment with roadmap goals. Secure DevSecOps & Compliance
Oversee STIG/ACAS pipeline; manage OS patch strategy (Linux/Windows waiver paths) Ensure artifacts meet NCATT and other required cyber standards. Liaise with customer site IA for scan findings and remediation SLAs. Cross-Functional Team Leadership
