Data Science - Senior with Security Clearance

***Requires an active TS/SCI Security Clearance with the ability to obtain a CI Poly**** What You'll Be Owning: * Develop computer vision prototypes to detect and predict interactions between objects in multi-modal imagery. * Implement unsupervised and supervised learning methods to support mission-specific analytic workflows. * Build and manage datasets for training and evaluation in collaboration with subject matter experts (SMEs). * Integrate prototypes into NASIC and broader DoD/IC IT architectures. Design and maintain data structures ("memory systems") that store learned patterns, support dynamic updates, and provide auditability. * Follow secure software development practices, leveraging Python (preferred, v3.11+) and/or C++ in government repositories. * Conduct prototype reviews, code walkthroughs, and demonstrations with NASIC stakeholders. * Participate in bi-weekly technical interchange meetings and status updates. What You Must Have: * At least 10 years of software development experience * Active TS/SCI security clearance * Advanced degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience. * Strong proficiency in Python (PEP8, Google Style Guide, type hints, docstring conventions) and familiarity with C++. * Experience with deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow) for computer vision applications. * Background in object detection, scene understanding, and spatial reasoning. * Hands-on experience with unsupervised learning methods and dataset development. * Ability to work in secure environments and follow strict code review and documentation standards. What Would Be Nice to Have * Knowledge of geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) workflows and imagery modalities. * Familiarity with Air Force / DoD software security constraints and classified development practices. * Experience designing dynamic and auditable data structures for knowledge persistence. * Ability to collaborate closely with government technical managers (GTMs) and SMEs in a fast-paced prototyping environment.
