  • Integrate and deploy AI/ML models into production environments 
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver end-to-end solutions 
  • Participate in code reviews, design discussions, and Agile development processes 
  • Troubleshoot and resolve software defects, performance issues, and system bottlenecks 
  • Contribute to system architecture with a focus on scalability, reliability, and security 
  • Support CI/CD pipelines, containerized deployments, and cloud-based environments 
  • Apply ML techniques to real-world problems (e.g., classification, detection, prediction) 
  • Help address ML challenges such as data quality, model drift, and performance tradeoffs 
  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to engineering best practices
Requirements
  • U.S. Citizenship 
  • Active Top Secret Clearance (SCI eligibility; CI Poly preferred or ability to obtain) 
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or related field 
  • 2-4+ years of relevant experience in software engineering or related fields 
  • Strong programming skills in Python 
  • Solid understanding of software engineering fundamentals (data structures, algorithms, system design) 
  • Experience with Git and CI/CD tools (GitLab CI, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, etc.) 
  • Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) 
  • Experience with Docker and Kubernetes or similar technologies 
  • Familiarity with ML frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn) 
  • Understanding of the ML lifecycle (training, validation, deployment, monitoring) 
  • Strong problem-solving and communication skills 


Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience integrating ML models into production systems 
  • Background working with sensor data, RF systems, or image-based data (e.g., SAR) 
  • Experience with additional languages (Java, C++, MATLAB, etc.) 
  • Exposure to DevOps or MLOps practices (CI/CD, IaC, container orchestration) 
  • Familiarity with real-world ML challenges (model drift, bias, performance vs. latency tradeoffs) 
  • Experience in defense, aerospace, or other regulated environments 


Why Join PSG?

At PSG, you’re not just taking a job—you’re building technology that matters.

  • Competitive compensation & benefits 
  • 9/80 flexible work schedule 
  • Professional development & tuition assistance
