• Integrate AI tools into existing systems, data sources, and DOW workflows.
• Create reusable components, libraries, and templates to accelerate future AI development.
• Conduct data preparation, preprocessing, feature engineering, and evaluation of model performance.
• Identify opportunities where AI can significantly impact efficiency, quality, or customer outcomes.
• Develop AI adoption roadmaps, including milestones, dependencies, staffing, data needs, and risk considerations.
• Advise leadership on emerging technologies, feasibility, and best practices.
• Support development of responsible AI guidelines aligned with organizational requirements.

• Process Improvement & Implementation

  • Analyze DOW processes to understand pain points and automation opportunities.
  • Work directly with business units to gather requirements, build prototypes, and deploy production-ready solutions.
  • Create documentation, training materials, and user guides for AI tools.
  • Monitor solution performance and iterate improvements over time.
• Work closely with IT, data teams, and operational leaders to deploy solutions that meet technical and compliance standards.
• Support change management by helping teams adopt new AI-enabled workflows.
• Provide mentoring to junior analysts or developers on AI tools and best practices.
• Technical execution and hands-on development.
• Strategic thinking paired with practical engineering skills.
• Strong communication and requirement-gathering capability.
• Ability to work independently and lead small initiatives.
• Innovation mindset and continuous learning.

Skills and Qualification Required:

• Clearance eligibility required
• Bachelor’s degree in Data Science, Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• 5-10+ years in data science, machine learning, data engineering, or advanced analytics.
• Experience supporting DoD programs, warfighter missions, or secure data platforms.
• Strong proficiency in Python, including experience building automation tools and integrating APIs.
• Hands-on experience with AI and machine learning libraries (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn) and LLM toolkits.
• Experience designing and deploying AI agents or workflow automation solutions.
• Understanding of enterprise data environments and DOW workflows.
• Ability to translate operational needs into technical requirements and deliver practical solutions.
• Strong analytical skills, problem-solving ability, and attention to detail.

Skills and Qualifications Preferred:

• Experience with generative AI frameworks, vector databases, orchestration tools, or MLOps pipelines.
• Familiarity with cloud environments such as Azure, AWS, or GCP.
• Experience in government contracting or regulated environments.
• Knowledge of NIST AI RMF, responsible AI practices, or privacy/security considerations.
