Responsibilities
As a Data Scientist Senior, you’ll power innovation to drive mission impact and grow your expertise to power your career forward. Explore a career in data science and engineering at GDIT and you’ll find endless opportunities to grow alongside colleagues who share your determination for solving complex data challenges.
Deliver operational insights, automate mission workflows, and apply machine intelligence to high-priority defense challenges through the use of open-source tools and platforms for developing and deploying AI/ML models at scale.
Create supervised, unsupervised, and deep learning models using open-source libraries (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, Scikit-learn) to support forecasting, classification, anomaly detection, and autonomous system behavior.
Deploy and Operationalize Models: Package and deliver models via containerized technologies (e.g., Docker, Podman, Kubernetes) for execution in on-premise and edge environments (e.g., Jetson, rugged laptops).
Design Edge-Compatible ML Solutions: Build lightweight, optimized models for low-power or disconnected environments; support fielded capabilities requiring minimal compute and latency.
Lead MLOps Implementation: Use tools such as MLflow, DVC, Kubeflow, and Git for model versioning, reproducibility, and secure lifecycle management.
Collaborate with Multi-Disciplinary Teams: Partner with data scientists, DevSecOps teams, engineers, and analysts to align model development with operational requirements, and support AI integration into mission workflows.
Enable Real-Time Sensor Integration: Develop models that consume real-time data from local sensors, devices, or systems (e.g., video, radar, comms), delivering actionable results with minimal delay.
Ensure Data Security and Compliance: Engineer AI pipelines that adhere to DoD security, encryption, and data handling standards, including tagging, metadata management, and retention policies.
Qualifications
Education: Bachelor Degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Data Science, Applied Mathematics, or related technical field. 5+ years of related experience
Certification: Compliant with DoD Directive 8140
Roles and Responsibilities: Develop and Train AI/ML Models
Required skills: Strong experience with Python, open-source ML libraries (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, Scikit-learn, XGBoost, LightGBM), and scientific computing frameworks.
Expertise in Data Management best practices, design and engineering for large-scale data systems
Ability to translate end-user’s high-level requirements into detailed analytics to be processed in SIEM, AI/ML custom and cloud-managed solutions.
Demonstrated ability to deploy models in air-gapped or on-prem environments, using Docker/Kubernetes/Podman.
Hands-on knowledge of MLOps toolchains (MLflow, DVC, Kubeflow), version control (Git), and secure DevSecOps principles.
Experience with model optimization and conversion (e.g., ONNX, TensorRT, OpenVINO) for tactical and edge deployment.
Proven ability to work in classified or secure DoD environments, following cybersecurity and data stewardship protocols.
Experience integrating models into CI/CD pipelines, analytics platforms, or decision support tools.
Desired Skills
Experience with edge AI hardware (NVIDIA Jetson, Coral TPU, rugged ARM/x86 systems).
Knowledge of NLP, computer vision, or reinforcement learning techniques applied to defense.
Familiarity with Apache Spark, Hadoop, and distributed data frameworks.
Background in real-time messaging protocols (e.g., MQTT, ZeroMQ, ROS) for edge-to-core communication.
Familiarity with USCENTCOM operational data systems, networks, and mission requirements.
Understanding of DoD AI/ML strategies, ethical AI standards, and responsible deployment principles.
Security clearance level: Secret clearance required
