Overview Autonomous Systems Machine Learning Engineer

Location: Arlington, VA (Hybrid or On-site depending on program needs)

Employment Type: Full-Time

A stealth-mode innovator in next-generation autonomous technologies is seeking a skilled Data Science Engineer to enhance the intelligence of aerial, ground, and ISR systems through machine learning. This high-impact role is perfect for someone eager to turn large-scale operational datasets into advanced, deployable AI systems for mission-critical performance. You’ll join a cross-functional team of top-tier engineers dedicated to national security and defense innovation, working at the forefront of applied ML research and development.

Key Responsibilities

Design, train, and deploy machine learning models using time-series, image, video, and multi-sensor datasets

Build robust pipelines for data ingestion, preprocessing, model evaluation, and deployment across cloud and edge environments

Develop and implement algorithms for pattern recognition, anomaly detection, adaptive decision-making, and predictive maintenance

Integrate AI models with autonomous platforms by collaborating closely with perception, embedded systems, and autonomy teams

Validate and optimize model performance through testing in both real-world and simulated environments

Required Qualifications

Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or a related field

3+ years of experience in machine learning, with a focus on model development and operational deployment

Proficiency in Python and ML libraries (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn)

Experience working with time-series analysis, sensor fusion, or video analytics

Understanding of cloud-based and on-device ML workflows

Preferred Qualifications

Domain experience in robotics, aerospace, ISR systems, or defense technologies

Exposure to reinforcement learning or adaptive learning from real-time data streams

Familiarity with synthetic data generation, data labeling workflows, and active learning techniques

U.S. security clearance or ability to obtain one

Why You Should Apply

Contribute directly to national defense and public safety through intelligent systems

Work with multi-modal mission data to drive machine learning innovation

Be part of a growing organization with access to unique datasets and advanced testing infrastructure

Receive strong compensation, support for clearance sponsorship, and opportunities for technical leadership
