What is a Remote DoD?

A Remote DoD job is a position within the U.S. Department of Defense or a defense contractor that allows employees to work from a remote location. These roles often involve cybersecurity, intelligence analysis, software development, or administrative support. Due to the sensitive nature of DoD work, remote employees may need security clearances and adhere to strict data protection protocols. Some positions require occasional travel or on-site visits.

What skills and qualifications are needed for a Remote DoD?

To thrive as a Remote DoD (Department of Defense) Contractor, you need a solid background in your technical specialization (such as cybersecurity, IT, or engineering), a relevant degree, and often security clearance. Familiarity with DoD-specific systems, secure communication tools, and certifications like CompTIA Security+ or CISSP are commonly required. Excellent time management, clear written communication, and self-motivation are crucial soft skills due to remote collaboration and sensitive project deadlines. These qualifications ensure you can perform duties effectively, maintain security standards, and contribute productively in a distributed, high-stakes environment.

What are common challenges faced by Remote DoD contractors, and how can they be addressed?

Remote DoD Contractors often face challenges related to maintaining secure communications, navigating complex compliance requirements, and collaborating across multiple time zones. Adhering to strict security protocols while working from home can require additional training and equipment, such as secured VPNs and encrypted devices. Effective time management and proactive communication are essential to coordinate with on-site teams and meet project milestones. By staying updated on DoD regulations and dedicating time to regular check-ins, remote contractors can overcome these obstacles and build strong working relationships with their teams.

Job description

Overview

FTI Defense is seeking a hands-on AI/ML Engineer to design, build, and deploy advanced machine learning solutions supporting defense and national security missions. This role focuses on execution in oversight, ideal for an engineer who thrives in the code, enjoys building end-to-end pipelines, and takes pride in seeing their work directly impact operational systems.

FTI Defense delivers mission-focused solutions to the Department of Defense/Depratment of War (DoD/DoW) and Intelligence Community (IC) through advanced engineering, digital transformation, and program execution expertise. We help our customers solve complex challenges and achieve mission success by integrating people, process, and technology.

Responsibilities
  • 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.
Education/Qualifications

Minimum 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.

 Preferred Qualifications:

  • Familiarity with agentic frameworks (LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, DSPy) and multi-agent reasoning.
  • Understanding of prompt engineering, retrieval quality, and grounding methods.
  • Exposure to GPU-based or edge inference environments.
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or a related technical field.
  • Active Secret clearance preferred; ability to obtain one is required.
