Job description

The role is about keeping AI and autonomy models running well in production, not building them from scratch. A strong candidate brings hands on operations experience with containers, orchestration, CI/CD and infrastructure as code, plus solid Python. Careful documentation and attention to security and compliance matter, since the systems support defense work.

How it fits the AI era

Much of the routine work of deploying, monitoring and updating models can be automated, so the job leans toward building and tending those pipelines. What stays human is judgment about reliability, evaluation, auditability and the controls that regulated settings demand. The role sits where AI output meets real operational trust.

How it builds AI experience

Work here would build practical experience in model monitoring, data drift tracking and evaluation frameworks for autonomy software. It also offers exposure to responsible AI and compliance practices in a defense context, which is less common elsewhere. Candidates can strengthen their case by showing hands on MLOps projects and familiarity with lifecycle tooling.

Worth showing

• Docker and Kubernetes
• CI/CD and infrastructure as code
• Python scripting
• Model monitoring and evaluation
