Job Description
AI/ML Engineer
FTI - Frontier Technology Inc.
• Design, develop, and deploy AI/ML models and pipelines that meet mission and performance objectives. • Build, train, and fine-tune models using frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn, Hugging Face, and LangChain. • Develop and operationalize MLOps pipelines (MLflow, Kubeflow, DVC, or custom training/inference orchestration). • Implement and optimize vector databases (Milvus, Pinecone, Chroma, FAISS) and retrieval architectures (RAG, graph, hybrid). • Write clean, efficient Python code for data ingestion, feature engineering, embeddings, and inference services. • Experiment with fine-tuning and optimization of LLMs and task-specific models (LoRA, QLoRA, PEFT). • Contribute to agent-based applications using frameworks like LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, or DSPy. • Integrate AI services into real-world systems via APIs, event-driven workflows, or UI copilots. • Collaborate with data engineers, software developers, and mission analysts to ensure AI models are production-ready and aligned with customer needs. • Participate in peer reviews, contribute to shared repositories, and document models and experiments for reproducibility.
Job Requirements
- Must be a U.S. citizen and be willing to obtain and maintain a security clearance, as needed.
- 6-10+ years of professional experience developing and deploying AI/ML solutions in production environments.
- Minimum of 3 years' professional experience within the Department of Defense/Department of War (DoD/DoW) AI assurance, security, and deployment environments.
- Strong Python development skills with hands-on experience building AI/ML solutions.
- Direct experience with ML frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn, Hugging Face, or LangChain.
- Proven ability to build and deploy MLOps pipelines using MLflow, Kubeflow, DVC, or equivalent.
- Working knowledge of vector databases (Milvus, Pinecone, Chroma, FAISS) and retrieval-based architectures (RAG, hybrid, graph).
- Professional experience fine-tuning and evaluating LLMs or smaller task-specific models using LoRA, QLoRA, or PEFT.
- Professional experience integrating AI capabilities into production systems or mission applications.
Benefits
