Deep Learning Engineer - Robustness against Adversarial ML

Top Secret Clearance Required

We work on real-world problems whose solutions will make an immediate impact on National Security.

Currently, we are seeking an experienced Deep Learning (DL) Engineer who will work with a dynamic team that is delivering novel solutions to our Intelligence Community. We're looking for someone who has experience in developing robust deep learning models against different types of adversarial attacks. The applicant should have an in-depth understanding of DL architectures (e.g., YOLOv8, Faster R-CNN, DETR, and Segment Anything), types of adversarial attacks (e.g., digital vs. physical, noise vs. patch), and potential defense mechanisms in different domains.

As a Deep Learning Engineer, you should feel comfortable developing methods and algorithms, applicable to electro-optical (EO) imagery, for the detection, explanation, and mitigation of a wide range adversarial attacks on overhead detection models that operate in close to real-time.

If you join our team, you will develop machine learning orchestration pipelines for novel adversarial attacks defenses, design and implement custom algorithms and evaluation metrics, and produce technical reports.

If you feel fulfilled by rolling up your sleeves and thinking about hard problems, building new deep learning algorithms from scratch, and working in a fast paced but scientifically rigorous environment, we want to hear from you!

Here's what you'll need to succeed:

Responsibilities include:

• Researching academic literature to keep abreast of the latest theories, techniques, and tools

• Work in an agile team to develop deep learning architectures and models that can withstand adversarial attacks and data poisoning

• Deploy countermeasures and defenses against adversarial attacks, such as adversarial training

• Implementing solutions in Python (PyTorch)

• Delivering high-quality, carefully tested software

• Participate in team brainstorming sessions to shape innovative solutions

Required Skills and Experience:

• US Citizenship - must have a minimum of a Top Secret security clearance

• MS and 1+ years of experience or BS and 3+ years of experience in a technical field such as Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Statistics, or Applied Mathematics

• Proven proficiency in PyTorch or TensorFlow

• Solid theoretical understanding of deep neural networks as well as its applications, particularly in object detection and defenses against adversarial attacks

• Proven experience architecting, training, testing, and deploying machine learning solutions within an AWS environment

• Experience using collaborative source code management tools (Git)

• Strong technical presentation and writing skills

• Strong software development skills to include object-oriented design and implementation in languages like Python

• Strong practical experience developing in both object oriented and procedural languages

• Experience with standard data structures, algorithms, and application organization

• Experience with the full software development lifecycle, CI/CD, agile/scrum methodologies

• Experience with software testing (unit, integration, functional, etc.)

• Exposure to software containerization with Docker, Linux, and cloud development
