Description Do you want to become an expert in analyzing and developing AI/ML and information fusion algorithms to solve a wide variety of complex problems? Do you thrive in a collaborative research environment, working alongside an energetic, multidisciplinary team of scientists and engineers? Are you ready to help the US secure and maintain leadership in the development and fielding of algorithms for defense systems? If you are graduating with a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Statistics, Physics or a related field, we are looking for someone like you to join our team at APL! We are seeking a highly motivated algorithm developer who will contribute to all phases of the development process. You will be joining a team of engineers and scientists who are at the forefront of APL's mission to provide innovative solutions to critical challenges. Accurate, timely, and actionable information derived from a variety of sources provides the warfighter advantages over its adversaries. Our group at APL identifies, develops, and applies efficient and effective algorithms to support critical capabilities for a variety of DoD missions. As a member of the Information Fusion and Artificial Intelligence group… You will research, implement, prototype, and analyze algorithms, quantify and document the performance capabilities and limitations of algorithms for specific tasks, and provide metrics of robustness and confidence in specific approaches. You will interact with large data sets of various types, formats, and structures for algorithm training and testing, data cleaning, pre-processing, normalization, or manipulation as needed. You will create, develop, and debug code to contribute to various multi-user software test beds. You will create effective visualizations and documentation to explain complex topics to a variety of audiences. Qualifications You meet our minimum qualifications for the job if you… Have a Bachelor's in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Statistics, or related field Have 1+ years of experience in the machine learning and data science fields; OR completed and have a strong interest in linear algebra, calculus, statistics, probability, or related coursework Are fluent in Python or MATLAB, with the ability to translate mathematical concepts into well-documented and efficient code Have excellent time management skills and can effectively communicate ideas and results Are able to obtain an Interim Secret level security clearance by your start date and can ultimately obtain Secret level clearance. If selected, you will be subject to a government security clearance investigation and must meet the requirements for access to classified information. Eligibility requirements include U.S. citizenship You'll go above and beyond our minimum requirements if you... Have a Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Statistics, or related field Have 2+ years of experience in designing and implementing algorithms involving one or more of the following: classification, clustering, deep learning, decision making, AI explainability, stochastic processes, detection and estimation theory, information theory, Bayesian inference of time varying systems, tracking and data fusion (e.g., KF, MHT, IMM, etc.) Have demonstrated experience in working with version control software like Git Have experience developing AI/ML research prototypes in code, using one or more of scikit-learn, Tensorflow, PyTorch, or similar machine learning frameworks in Python. Have experience using high-performance computing structures like GPUs and CPU clusters. Willingness to travel up to 10% of the time, as needed and hold an active Secret clearance Why work at APL?
