About The Position

We are seeking a Data Scientist who is an established AI expert with demonstrable experience in designing and implementing sophisticated AI/ML and data science solutions across various domains within the customer environment. You will help to establish an authoritative role in a customer-prioritized and highly visible AI system that will be of critical use. You will need to have experience designing and building customized capabilities to enable Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) for multiple enterprise data sets, agentic AI systems to automate and orchestrate decision-making actions across specialized AI resources, and Docker-based microservices, user-facing GUIs, and cloud-hosted services (Kubernetes architecture) hosted on AWS/Azure/Google service platforms. The Level 4 Data Scientist shall possess the following capabilities: Foundations: (Mathematical, Computational, Statistical). Data Processing: (Data management and curation, data description and visualization, workflow and reproducibility). Modeling, Inference, and Prediction: (Data modeling and assessment, domain-specific considerations). Ability to make and communicate principal conclusions from data using elements of mathematics, statistics, computer science, and applications-specific knowledge. Ability to use analytic modeling, statistical analysis, programming, and/or another appropriate scientific method, develop and implement qualitative and quantitative methods for characterizing, exploring, and assessing large datasets in various states of organization, cleanliness, and structure that account for the unique feature and limitations inherent in Government data holdings. Translate practical mission needs and analytic questions related to large datasets into technical requirements and, conversely, assist others with drawing appropriate conclusions from the analysis of such data. Effectively communicate complex technical information to non-technical audiences. Need an established AI expert with demonstrable experience designing and implementing sophisticated AI/ML and data science solutions across various domains within the MPO customer environment. Candidate must be familiar with design and implementation of Agentic AI systems and customized Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) capabilities. Candidate must possess deep knowledge and experience in AI solutions and an ability to assess, evaluate, and implement the correct ML models for specific purposes and optimized performance. They must have experience generating, evaluating, training and optimizing Machine Learning models (i.e. LLMs) for use in low-memory, low-resourced edge devise environments. Expert proficiency in python is required.
