Lead AI/ML Innovation in Mission Data Science
DeNOVO Solutions is seeking a Senior Data Scientist Engineer to lead the design, development, and deployment of advanced AI/ML solutions supporting complex mission and operational environments. This role is ideal for an experienced data science professional who thrives at the intersection of research, engineering, and mission execution-developing high-impact, explainable models that transform raw data into actionable intelligence. You'll guide the evolution of production ML systems, mentor mid-level engineers, and work directly with analysts to ensure model performance meets the highest standards of accuracy, transparency, and operational readiness.
Why You'll Love This Role:
  • You'll Shape AI for the Mission: Design and deploy models that extract real-world value from signal and sensor data.
  • You'll Drive Scalable ML Systems: Lead the integration of automated retraining and deployment pipelines within secure cloud environments.
  • You'll Mentor and Lead: Share your expertise with junior data scientists and engineers, fostering a culture of innovation and technical excellence.

A Day in the Life:
  • AI/ML Solution Development: Lead the creation and optimization of advanced ensemble, neural network, and unsupervised learning models tailored to mission data.
  • Automation & Scalability: Design automated pipelines for data ingestion, curation, and retraining to ensure model adaptability and long-term performance.
  • Validation & Explainability: Coordinate with analysts and mission experts to validate models, track accuracy metrics, and enforce compliance with explainability and transparency standards.
  • Model Deployment: Integrate and operationalize ML models into production systems, collaborating with DevSecOps to align with CI/CD pipelines and mission constraints.
  • Monitoring & Optimization: Implement tools for continuous monitoring, A/B testing, and drift detection to maintain model reliability.
  • Team Leadership: Mentor junior team members, review code and models, and promote best practices in data science methodology, governance, and reproducibility.

Tools, Technologies, Skills, & Knowledge:
  • Machine Learning & AI: Ensemble models, CNNs, RNNs, Transformers, unsupervised and semi-supervised learning
  • Frameworks & Libraries: TensorFlow, PyTorch, Scikit-learn, XGBoost
  • Data Infrastructure: Feature stores, distributed computing frameworks (Spark, Ray, Dask)
  • Deployment & Monitoring: MLflow, DVC, Docker, model monitoring, A/B testing, data drift detection
  • Analytical Expertise: Causal inference, signal data processing, experiment design, model interpretability (SHAP, LIME)
  • Collaboration Tools: Jupyter Notebooks, Git, Confluence, Agile/DevSecOps environments

What You Need:
  • Experience: Ten (10) to fifteen (15) years of experience designing, training, and deploying ML models within the DoD or Intelligence Community, including experience leading technical teams or enterprise AI initiatives.
  • Education:
    • Bachelor's degree or higher in a quantitative discipline (e.g., statistics, mathematics, operations research, engineering, or computer science).
    • A Master's degree may substitute for two years of experience; a PhD may substitute for four years.
    • An additional two years of related experience may substitute for a Bachelor's degree.
  • Certifications: None required.
  • Clearance: TS/SCI with CI Polygraph.
