***Requires an active TS/SCI Security Clearance with the ability to obtain a CI Poly****
What You'll Be Owning:
-
Develop computer vision prototypes to detect and predict interactions between objects in multi-modal imagery. Implement unsupervised and supervised learning methods to support mission-specific analytic workflows.
-
Build and manage datasets for training and evaluation in collaboration with subject matter experts (SMEs).
-
Integrate prototypes into NASIC and broader DoD/IC IT architectures.
-
Design and maintain data structures (“memory systems”) that store learned patterns, support dynamic updates, and provide auditability.
-
Follow secure software development practices, leveraging Python (preferred, v3.11+) and/or C++ in government repositories.
-
Conduct prototype reviews, code walkthroughs, and demonstrations with NASIC stakeholders.
-
Participate in bi-weekly technical interchange meetings and status updates.
What You Must Have:
-
At least 10 years of software development experience
-
Active TS/SCI security clearance
-
Advanced degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience.
-
Strong proficiency in Python (PEP8, Google Style Guide, type hints, docstring conventions) and familiarity with C++.
-
Experience with deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow) for computer vision applications.
-
Background in object detection, scene understanding, and spatial reasoning. Hands-on experience with unsupervised learning methods and dataset development.
-
Ability to work in secure environments and follow strict code review and documentation standards.
-
Recent experience (within the last 24 months) leveraging multi-modal content using Large Language Models (LLMs), Vision Transformers (ViTs), and Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training (CLIP).
What Would Be Nice to Have:
-
Basic knowledge/understanding of satellite imagery.
-
Experience processing and analyzing electro-optical (EO) imagery.
-
Knowledge of geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) workflows and imagery modalities.
-
Familiarity with Air Force / DoD software security constraints and classified development practices.
-
Experience designing dynamic and auditable data structures for knowledge persistence.
-
Ability to collaborate closely with government technical managers (GTMs) and SMEs in a fast-paced prototyping environment.
