AI/Machine Learning Specialist

Core4ce is seeking a highly experienced AI/Machine Learning Specialist to develop innovative AI-enabled tools, algorithms, and solutions for complex intelligence and geospatial problems. We are looking for a hands-on builder with experience developing AI/ML solutions, working with large-scale data and data science problem sets, and testing and evaluating AI technologies to determine their strengths, weaknesses, and operational value.

Candidates with backgrounds in commercial data, social media, big data, or other large-scale data environments are encouraged to apply. The ideal candidate will also have experience collaborating with DoW and IC organizations, transitioning innovative solutions into operational environments, and communicating complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Responsibilities:

• Develop and prototype AI/ML-enabled tools, applications, algorithms, and workflows that improve the effectiveness and usability of AI for complex analytical problems.
• Apply AI/ML techniques to large-scale and complex data problems, including GEOINT, GIS, geospatial, imagery, and other intelligence-related applications.
• Research, experiment with, and evaluate emerging AI technologies, models, tools, and solutions.
• Design and execute testing and evaluation approaches to assess the performance, accuracy, scalability, limitations, and operational applicability of AI/ML solutions.
• Work with large and diverse datasets, including commercial, social media, open-source, intelligence, geospatial, or other high-volume data sources.
• Rapidly prototype solutions and conduct technical experimentation to demonstrate feasibility and identify opportunities for improvement.
• Analyze test results and provide technical recommendations regarding the strengths, weaknesses, and appropriate use cases of AI/ML solutions.
• Support the transition of successful research, prototypes, and AI/ML capabilities into operational environments.
• Collaborate with technical teams, researchers, and DoW and IC organizations on advanced AI/ML research and development efforts.
• Prepare and deliver technical briefings, demonstrations, and written products for technical and non-technical audiences.
• Stay current with emerging technologies, including Generative AI, Large Language Models (LLMs), AI agents, computer vision, deep learning, and multimodal AI.

This position is designed to be flexible, with responsibilities evolving to meet business needs and enable individual growth.

Requirements:

• Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, AI/ML, or a related technical discipline with 13 years of relevant experience, or Bachelor’s degree with 15 years of relevant experience.
• Active TS-SCI with ability to obtain a CI Poly.
• Hands-on experience developing, prototyping, and applying AI/ML solutions, algorithms, models, and frameworks to complex technical or analytical problems.
• Experience testing and evaluating AI-based and emerging technologies to assess performance, strengths, weaknesses, limitations, and operational applicability.
• Strong background working with large-scale, complex, or heterogeneous datasets and data science problem sets; experience with Python and AI/ML or data science frameworks.
• Experience applying AI/ML to GEOINT, GIS, geospatial, imagery, or remote sensing problems, including geospatial data, spatial analytics, or geospatial algorithms.
• Experience with Generative AI, LLMs, AI agents, computer vision, multimodal AI, or other emerging AI technologies.
• Experience working in cloud-based data and AI/ML environments and transitioning research, prototypes, or experimental capabilities into operational environments.
• Experience collaborating with DoW and Intelligence Community (IC) organizations on advanced technology, research, or AI/ML initiatives.
• Exceptional analytical, problem-solving, research, written, and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to technical and non-technical audiences. Publications, patents, or other demonstrated AI/ML expertise are a plus.
