You'll build relationships and collaborate with researchers, government customers, and other stakeholders to understand challenges, needs, possible solutions , and research and engineering directions. * Mentoring: You'll contribute to improving the overall technical capabilities of the team by mentoring and teaching others, participating in design (software and otherwise) sessions, and sharing insights and wisdom across the SEI AI Division. Requirements: * BS in Computer Science or related discipline with eight (8) years of experience; MS in the same fields with five (5) years of experience; PhD in Computer Science with two (2) years of experience.
* You must be able and willing to work onsite at an SEI office in Pittsburgh, PA or Arlington, VA 5 days per week. * Flexible to travel to other SEI offices, sponsor sites, conferences, and offsite meetings on occasion. Moderate (25%) travel outside of your home location. * You will be subject to a background investigation and must be eligible to obtain and maintain a Department of War security clearance. Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities: * Deep Technical Knowledge: You have performed extensive research or engineering activities in applied machine learning and artificial intelligence. You have worked with tools, techniques, algorithms, software, and programming languages for deep learning, reinforcement learning, statistics, sensors and sensor fusion, planning, computer vision, or related areas. In addition, you have demonstrated applying systems engineering principles and collaborated across multi-disciplinary project teams. You have supported multiple phases of the engineering lifecycle and understand the requirements for successful deployment and operation of complex systems. * Machine Learning: You have profound understanding of machine learning principles and have experience in applying machine learning techniques to real-world problems, showcasing a track record of successful implementations. You have designed and implemented complex machine learning functions and architectures tailored to specific autonomous systems. You are familiar with simulation environments and their role in training and testing machine learning models. * Robotics & Autonomy: You have a strong understanding of robotics principles and design techniques for air, sea, or land-based vehicles. You have experience applying machine learning within these domains and understand the related implications and challenges. Your experience includes areas such as sensor fusion, navigation, object search/tracking, collision avoidance, multi-agent collaboration, and human-machine teaming. * Test & Evaluation: You have designed and conducted test and evaluation activities for ML components to assess operational fit and readiness. You have experience working with model experimentation software, such as MLFlow or Weights & Biases for rigorous model development and selection. * Applied Full-Stack Implementation: You have strong development experience and can design and implement software and systems resources for packaging and managing requirements for AI and ML prototypes. You frequently use tools like Docker to manage software resources and pipeline orchestration. You may have experience building applications in cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, Google Cloud Platform). * Communication and Collaboration: You have strong written and verbal communication skills and can interact collaboratively and diplomatically with customers and colleagues. You grasp the big picture, direction, and goals of an effort while focusing great attention to detail. You can present complex ideas to people who may not have a deep understanding of the subject area. * Dedication: You can meet deadlines while multi-tasking-sometimes under pressure and with shifting priorities. * Creativity and Innovation: You are creative and curious, and you are inspired by the prospect of collaborating with premier members of the technical staff and other visionaries at Carnegie Mellon and other universities and organizations. You quickly learn new procedures, techniques, and approaches. You are forward-looking and can connect research and engineering with practical challenges. * Knowledge and Learning: You possess broad technical interests along with a deep knowledge of a particular field such as machine learning, autonomy and adaptive systems, or data analytics. Preferred Experience : * Thought Leadership and Publications: You have a track record of synthesizing lessons learned from research or engineering activities for publication. You have a reputation for the highest level of research and engineering integrity. You have demonstrated contributions and have published research, code (e.g., models, data, software applications), or technical perspectives. * Familiarity with Emerging Trends and Opportunities: You are familiar with technical challenges and emerging trends in computing and information science, and you are aware of opportunities in industry and government. * Technical Leadership: You have led technical projects and have experience collaborating across research teams and mentoring other researchers. * Proposals: You have formulated and delivered successful research and engineering proposals to funding agencies and led the resulting projects. * Government Projects: You have worked or are familiar with Navy, Marine, Air Force, Army, Space Force, DARPA, IARPA, Service Labs, or other government research sponsors.
