Job summary

Northrop Grumman seeks a highly skilled AI/ML engineer to define, develop, and deploy models addressing prediction, optimization, and classification problems across autonomy and robotics domains.

You will apply ML algorithms to large datasets, design end‑to‑end AI/ML pipelines, and collaborate with cross‑functional teams to move solutions from concept to production. A strong background in Python, ML frameworks, and software practices is essential.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related STEM field with 5 years of relevant experience, or Master’s degree with 3 years of relevant experience; an additional 4 years may be considered in lieu of a degree.
• Experience implementing and/or applying one or more AI models and algorithms (e.g., LLMs, deep neural networks, genetic algorithms, embedding models, deep learning architectures).
• Experience developing systems using AI/ML frameworks and libraries such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, Keras, or Scikit‑learn.
• Experience across the ML pipeline, including data processing and preparation, training and fine-tuning, and evaluation.
• Ability to perform rapid prototyping and proof‑of‑concept implementations.
• Familiarity with ML concepts including CNNs, LSTMs, transformers, supervised/unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning, and statistical/graphical models.
• Experience with web application frameworks such as Flask or FastAPI.
• Understanding of software engineering practices and source control.

Responsibilities

• Define, develop, and deliver mathematical and statistical models and algorithms to address prediction, optimization, and classification problems.
• Apply ML algorithms to large structured and unstructured datasets for autonomy, pattern recognition, target detection and tracking, recommendation, and decision support systems.
• Design, develop, document, test, debug, and deploy AI/ML applications.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to deploy AI/ML solutions in development and production environments.
• Prepare and present technical progress and results to internal and external stakeholders.
