Job description

Description

• Developing and integrating advanced AI/ML capabilities to automate data extraction, correlation, and model population for Battlespace C2 Blue and Red prototypes
• Employing AI/ML tools at Secret and TS/SCI classification levels to analyze doctrinal references, exercise reports, chat logs, and Fleet C2 system outputs to build cross‑theater operational models
• Automating ingestion of legacy government-developed C2 models and generate integrated models with traceability to authoritative sources, enabling Human‑on‑the‑Loop verification by government analysts
• Implementing high-side AI/ML capabilities to support threat monitoring, automatic data crawling, and alerting for Red threat intelligence from multiple IC sources
• Supporting development of a common threat database and assist with creating user-facing interfaces（“dashboards”）including geospatial visualization and automated triggers/alerts
• Assisting with generating Red threat injects for LVC, experimentation events, and Battlespace C2 assessments
• Configuring and operating VMware and other virtualized test environments supporting AI/ML model development, integration, and regression testing
• Integrating new AI-driven capability enhancements into engineering systems while ensuring compatibility with existing data sources, C2 tools, and C5ISR interfaces
• Executing Nessus/ACAS scans during integration activities, analyzing vulnerabilities, supporting remediation, and validating closure
• Maintaining secure software baselines, applying patches, and implementing configuration updates aligned with RMF and ATO requirements
• Developing, updating, and maintaining STPs, test procedures, test reports, build plans, version descriptions, baseline comparison matrices, and related documentation
• Reproducing, documenting, and tracking defects across integration activities, providing detailed reproduction steps and logs, and verifying fixes during regression cycles
• Collaborating with software developers, systems engineers, and threat analysts to verify algorithmic outputs, model fidelity, and data accuracy
• Supporting configuration management processes ensuring all artifacts, software loads, and integration outputs remain accurately tracked within CMPro and other repositories
