Job Description:

CACI has an exciting new opportunity in Florham Park, NJ for a Senior AI and Machine Learning Research Engineer. Apply machine learning, statistics, and image/video compression knowledge to develop algorithms to solve challenging problems in computer vision, signal processing, and computer networking domains. Research and develop innovative capabilities that incorporate machine learning and other advanced concepts that perform 3D scene reconstruction, point cloud processing, pose estimation, perspective analysis, object detection, motion tracking, object feature matching and relationship analysis. Develop and/or implement novel adaptive image processing, sensor fusion, object re-identification, 3D modeling and simulation, and synthetic data generation algorithms for custom applications. Develop machine learning and statistics-enabled software capabilities and applications to be integrated into larger hardware and software systems.

Responsibilities:

• Develop and justify the performance of algorithms that implement novel, network-based image processing capabilities.
• Perform extensive detailed modeling and simulation, including quantifying the relative impact of candidate solution architectures.
• Supervise development of standalone applications and/or major software subsystems and components while adhering to software best practices.
• Develop detailed technical plans with tasks, schedule, and labor estimates.
• Develop automated tests to rigorously test and evaluate algorithms and software capabilities.
• Act as a technical leader during proposal development and project execution.
• Develop customer relationships, pursue new business opportunities, and formulate novel concepts to address national security problems as part of customer outreach and proposal development.

Qualifications:

Required: 

• Master’s degree in computer science, computer engineering, or machine learning and at least 4 years’ experience.
• Experience developing computer vision and networking algorithms, protocols, and software applications.
• Strong background in machine learning and statistics.
• Significant experience with Python and C++.
• Comfortable using Linux operating systems and commonly used Linux utilities.
• Some advanced knowledge of computer networking, including TCP/IP networking/OSI model, routing algorithms, Linux networking utilities and interfaces.
• Knowledge and experience with 3D edge object identification, tracking, and inference.
• Experience with computer vision frameworks, software & environments.
• Ability to anticipate strengths and weaknesses of software solutions and perform simulation, testing, and evaluation to quantitatively compare alternative approaches.
• Ability to effectively articulate research and development outcomes to senior staff and customers and act as a technical representative of the team.
• Excellent oral and written communications skills.
• Demonstrated effectiveness in leading, organizing, and executing technical efforts.
• Must be a US Citizen with the ability to obtain, maintain and/or transfer the required security clearance as dictated by the contract

Desired:

• Ph.D. in computer science, computer engineering, or machine learning.
• Experience applying machine learning to signal processing and/or other time-series data analysis applications.
• Experience with probabilistic generative modeling and Bayesian inference.
• Knowledge of or experience with information theory, probability theory, parametric and non-parametric statistical tests.
• Familiarity with concepts and techniques associated with adversarial AI and AI/ML assurance.
• Active Secret or Top Secret clearance preferred.
