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 where systems must perform with extreme accuracy under constrained, adversarial, and operationally complex conditions. We are looking for someone with strong data science and software engineering fundamentals, a record of technical excellence, and demonstrated experience applying AI/ML techniques to real products. You should be comfortable operating with independence, learning unfamiliar technical domains quickly, working across disparate teams, and moving prototypes toward production with limited oversight.
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.
- Travel: 10-20%.
Requirements
- US Citizen or Permanent Resident
- BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Data Science, Applied Mathematics, Physics, or a related technical field or equivalent experience
- 2-5 years of professional software development experience (exceptional fresh grads welcome to apply)
- Very strong Python programming skills
- Experience in building, testing, deploying, and supporting production software and models
- Experience with AI/ML model integration, model serving infrastructure, or model lifecycle management
- Experience with model evaluation, benchmarking, robustness testing, interpretability, or ML observability
- Familiarity with APIs, Distributed systems, Containers, CI/CD, observability, and edge deployment environments/GPU optimization
- Excited to learn unfamiliar technical domains
