About The Position

NorthHill Technology Resources is hiring AI/ML Engineers for direct-hire positions with a fast-growing Federal Integrator, supporting a federal program in Springfield, Virginia. An active TS/SCI clearance is required, and the role requires willingness to take a polygraph exam.

The engineer will apply advanced AI and machine-learning methods to complex operational challenges, helping shape strategic direction for high-impact solutions. Working with software teams and mission users, the engineer will design, test, and deploy capabilities for critical remote-sensing needs in a demanding, data-rich environment. The role supports operators who use intelligent systems to scale mission effectiveness and advises stakeholders on suitable algorithms, tools, and frameworks.

The project accelerates fusion of multi-sensor detections into persistent, time-critical object tracks. The work integrates AI/ML with GEOINT and sensor-fusion frameworks to support rapid, reliable operational decision-making. Understanding of OPIR image processing or expertise in missile systems, remote sensing, and sensor fusion is beneficial.

Requirements

• At least 4 years of experience delivering AI/ML-based solutions for object identification and classification.
• At least 4 years of Python coding experience, including Python coding for AI/ML solutions.
• Experience applying AI/ML to tracking, sensor fusion, or GEOINT data workflows.
• Familiarity with real-time or near-real-time data processing for multi-sensor systems.
• Experience with remote-sensing image processing, data exploitation, and algorithm development.
• Experience with software configuration management using Git.
• Ability to execute machine-learning models in a Linux environment.
• Active TS/SCI clearance and willingness to take a polygraph exam.
• Bachelor’s degree and 4 years of experience for mid-level roles, or a bachelor’s degree and 10 years of experience for senior-level roles.

Nice To Haves
