Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning Engineer (AI/ML)

About the position SAIC is seeking an AI/ML Engineer to join our team conducting a wide variety of analyses in support of Government satellite programs in Earth orbits. Areas of work may include recognizing different types of satellites based on observations using optical and radar sensors, scheduling space surveillance sensors to collaboratively find, recognize and track maneuvering satellites, and deciding what activities satellites should undertake. Satellite designers and operations planners will leverage your analyses to inform critical decisions. As part of an agile team including experts in astrodynamics, sensors and AI/ML, you will collaboratively simulate operations concepts at-scale with support from our cloud computing and supercomputing specialists. You can expect regular opportunities to meet with and optionally present findings to local senior government customers. You will use programming languages such as Python, C++, or others to leverage existing analysis tools and develop new ones, conduct independent trade studies and technical assessments, review and validate algorithms and results provided by external teams, and develop and optionally present actionable technical briefings. Detailed AI/ML job description: Conduct Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) to identify patterns for feature engineering. Design, develop, and evaluate machine learning algorithms, including supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning. Build, train, and tune predictive models using state-of-the-art frameworks and tools. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify challenges, define problems, and translate them into actionable AI/ML solutions. Implement and optimize algorithms for tasks such as anomaly detection, prediction, classification, optimization, clustering, and natural language processing. Deploy machine learning models into production environments and establish pipelines for scalability and monitoring. Analyze model performance and identify opportunities for improvement by leveraging testing strategies and tuning hyperparameters.
