About The Position

This position focuses on designing, developing, experimenting with, and applying advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) and AI-agent technologies to address a range of militarily relevant mission engineering challenges. The successful candidate will work at the intersection of AI, autonomous agents, mission engineering, and complex systems to develop innovative computational capabilities that enhance operational effectiveness and decision-making.

The position will be part of a small, highly collaborative team of AI experts responsible for developing advanced computational, or “compute,” modules that complement and extend existing Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) activities within complex systems-of-systems. These capabilities will enable new approaches to integrating human expertise with AI-driven analysis, reasoning, planning, and decision support.

This position provides an opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI technologies with direct application to challenging national security and military problems. The successful candidate will help shape the development of next-generation AI and agent-based capabilities and explore how intelligent computational systems can work alongside humans to improve the analysis, planning, and execution of complex missions.
