CTI
Chesapeake Technology International (CTI) is a software and systems development commercial vendor dedicated to providing advanced, user-focused technologies for military and security applications.CTI is looking for Machine Learning (ML) Engineers with experience developing and implementing generative model techniques. CTI is building upon existing capabilities by applying ML to deliver new and novel solutions to the warfighter. CTI has projects in need of talented, experienced ML engineers who can train models to perform entity recognition, determine locations of possible threats in an area, and perform signal detection. CTI is interested in engineers who have a passion to change the battlespace by applying new deep learning techniques to existing data sets and tools CTI has developed.
This position will build upon CTI’s growing ML capabilities; a good candidate is someone who is a self-starter with existing experience delivering software that can train models for various pipelines of data. This position is an opportunity to grow and shape existing technologies by applying deep learning architectures such as deep-neural networks, recurrent-neural networks, convolutional-neural networks.
As a ML Engineer at CTI, you will be responsible for driving solutions to complex problems within advanced programs in the defense sector. Your knowledge and experience will drive innovation in protecting our military personnel from threats on the battlefield. CTI encourages outside the box thinking and this position will offer you the opportunity to shape the technology and make a difference in the world.
Responsibilities include but are not limited to:
- Collaborating with the development team and other stakeholders to understand mission needs and turn them into actionable technical specifications to be built and deployed.
- Continuously exploring new technologies to provide the most modern and highly performant solutions for our customers.
- Lead technical investigations to determine the best possible algorithms which will provide added value to CTI’s existing deployed solutions, introducing new capability for which our customers deeply desire and lack.
- Write software using Python, C, Rust, MATLAB etc., to develop and manage models through the use of ML pipelines.
- Train models on various data sets such as (but not limited to) RF signals, video, photos, data aggregators, proprietary systems, etc.
- Architect and deploy ML pipelines that will improve the development and deployment of models to edge compute systems running containerized services.
- Review code developed by other team members and offer constructive feedback while adhering to coding standards
