About the Role

CHAOS is seeking a highly motivated, mission-oriented Applied AI Engineer to help develop, integrate, and deploy AI/ML-powered capabilities across our product lines. You will work closely with other data scientists, software engineers, product teams, and mission stakeholders to conduct advanced AI research and turn them into reliable, real-world software, focusing on defense applications.

Responsibilities

• Build applied AI systems across CHAOS product lines, including model integration, inference services, evaluation pipelines, and production-facing AI capabilities.
• Perform research and build products by working with product and mission teams to research, collect data, verify hypothesis and create robust, testable, maintainable, and deployable models.
• Evaluate and improve model performance under real-world conditions, including adversarial GPS denied environments, low-power or edge deployments, and degraded or noisy inputs.
• Develop production-quality software for data pipelines for acquisition, model serving, monitoring, lifecycle management, data processing, and system integration.
• Create rapid prototypes with mission and product teams, other relevant stakeholders and iterate toward production-ready implementations.
• Contribute to AI system reliability, by conducting testing, benchmarking, observability, interpretability, failure analysis, and performance optimization.
• Learn quickly from existing codebases, documentation, research artifacts, and domain experts, then use that knowledge to drive execution.
• Manage time effectively across meetings, technical discovery, implementation, experimentation, and production support.

Requirements

• BS/MS in Computer Science, Engineering, Machine Learning, Applied Mathematics, Physics, or a related technical field.
• 2+ years of professional software development experience.
