About The Position
About the Team: STR’s Analytics and Command & Control (AC2) Division designs, develops and deploys novel technologies to solve challenging national security problems. Our team consists of passionate and motivated engineers and scientists with degrees in engineering, computer science, mathematics, physics, and data science. We use our expertise and creativity to take innovative ideas from conception to mature implementation to improve mission success of our customers. The Knowledge Exploitation & Trust Group in the AC2 Division develops algorithms and tools to enhance trust in AI systems. Recent work includes a program aimed at providing ways to measuring the reliability and responsibility of autonomous systems, and a program bootstrapping language models with domain-specific simulations to accurately assess the feasibility of scientific claims.
