Required Experience:
- Demonstrated experience applying multiple Artificial Intelligence and/or Machine Learning techniques (e.g., artificial neural networks, Bayesian belief networks, decision trees) to complex technical or analytical problems.
Experience working with data-centric workflows, including data preparation, curation, labeling, and quality assessment for analytical or modeling purposes.
Familiarity with the full AI/ML lifecycle, including model development, training, testing, validation, and iterative improvement.
Experience collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, including systems engineering, software development, and domain subject matter experts.
Ability to translate high-level mission or system objectives into well-defined analytical or computational problem statements.
Experience documenting technical approaches, assumptions, and results in a clear and structured manner suitable for engineering and programmatic review.
Understanding of basic software engineering practices, including version control, modular design, and reproducibility.
Ability to work within established program constraints, including security, configuration management, and governance processes.
