About The Position

Wyetech is seeking an Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) Engineer, Skill Level 2, to design, create, test, and productize AI/ML algorithms that address business challenges and meet customer requirements. The role develops models that learn and make predictions, and requires proficiency in model architecture, data-pipeline interaction, and applying, interpreting, and presenting metrics. It also calls for familiarity with application development, infrastructure management, data engineering, and data governance. The engineer designs scalable solutions and improves model performance through training, retraining, deployment, scheduling, monitoring, and iterative feedback from users and systems. The role may lead geographically diverse teams and often serves as a primary point of contact for AI-related matters. Exceptional analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills are needed. Expert knowledge of multiple programming languages, such as Python, Java, C, and R, is noted as a plus.

Requirements

Five years of experience in applied machine learning on programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity.
Master's or Ph.D. degree in advanced mathematics, artificial intelligence, data science, computer science, or deep learning from an accredited college or university.
Five additional years of machine-learning experience with a relevant bachelor's degree may substitute for a master's degree.
Experience with standard machine-learning frameworks, such as PyTorch or TensorFlow.
Active TS clearance with a customer-appropriate polygraph.
U.S. citizenship and position-appropriate security clearance are required due to federal contract requirements.
Exceptional analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.

Nice To Haves

Expert knowledge of multiple programming languages, such as Python, Java, C, and R.
