Requirements:

• Active Secret clearance.
• Hands-on production AI/ML development.
• Strong Python and SQL capability.
• Experience taking at least one model from requirements through production or operational deployment.
• Experience with Azure-based AI/ML services or a comparable cloud environment.
• Able to explain model evaluation, deployment, monitoring, and retraining.

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, data science, statistics, mathematics, operations research, engineering, or a related discipline; equivalent specialized experience may substitute.
• Seven or more years in data science, machine learning, advanced analytics, or applied AI.
• Four or more years developing machine-learning solutions.
• Experience delivering at least three substantive models or AI capabilities, with at least one in production.
• Strong Python, SQL, pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, and one major ML or deep-learning framework.
• Experience with two or more of the following:
  • Forecasting.
  • Anomaly detection.
  • Classification.
  • Recommendation engines.
  • Optimization.
  • Document extraction.
  • NLP, RAG, or GenAI.
• Experience defining measurable model-performance criteria.
• Experience with feature engineering, training, validation, test data, error analysis, explainability, and model documentation.

Strong preferences

• Azure Machine Learning, Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Search, Microsoft Copilot, or comparable Azure AI services.
• Defense logistics, maintenance, readiness, fleet, supply chain, acquisition, property, or financial analytics.
• GCSS-Army, SAP ECC, ERP, or maintenance-system data.
• Classified or Government-cloud deployment.
• Model monitoring, drift detection, bias testing, red teaming, or human-in-the-loop validation.
• Integration of model outputs with Power BI, Power Apps, APIs, or operational applications.
• Experience briefing technical results to operational users and senior leaders.

Principal responsibilities

• Lead selection and refinement of the three baseline AI/ML use cases.
• Define the mission question, data requirement, technical baseline, performance metric, and acceptance criteria for each model.
• Perform data exploration, feature engineering, model development, comparative evaluation, and error analysis.
• Work with the GCSS-Army SME to validate business rules and interpret model results.
• Work with the Azure Data/MLOps Engineer to package, deploy, monitor, version, and sustain models.
• Develop GenAI, RAG, forecasting, anomaly detection, or recommendation capabilities as selected.
• Establish human-review procedures where model outputs affect operational decisions.
• Prepare model cards, evaluation results, known limitations, release documentation, and retraining criteria.
• Support integration of model findings into dashboards and Power Apps.
• Participate in demonstrations and CASCOM production-readiness reviews.

Location and Work Expectations:

• Ability to work remotely during normal Government working hours and participate in daily status, requirements, development, and technical-review sessions.
• Ability to travel to Fort Lee, Virginia, at least three times annually and report onsite more frequently if directed.
