About the Role

~1 min read

Expression is seeking an experienced AI/ML Engineer to design, optimize, and evaluate machine learning capabilities that operate efficiently on heterogeneous edge computing platforms. Working closely with software engineers, you will develop AI pipelines that enable intelligent signal characterization, data prioritization, distributed inference, and decision support while operating within constrained compute, bandwidth, and communications environments.

The ideal candidate has strong expertise in applied machine learning, modern LLM technologies, edge AI optimization, and production deployment of AI systems.

Founded in 1997 and headquartered in Washington DC, Expression provides data fusion, data analytics, software engineering, information technology, and electromagnetic spectrum management solutions to the U.S. Department of Defense, Department of State, and national security community. Expression’s “Perpetual Innovation” culture focuses on creating immediate and sustainable value for their clients via agile delivery of tailored solutions built through constant engagement with their clients. Expression was ranked #1 on the Washington Technology 2018's Fast 50 list of fastest growing small business Government contractors and a Top 20 Big Data Solutions Provider by CIO Review.

Design and implement AI capabilities supporting intelligent data characterization, classification, prioritization, and decision support.
Evaluate, optimize, and deploy open-weight foundation models appropriate for resource-constrained edge environments.
Develop efficient inference pipelines supporting heterogeneous compute environments ranging from embedded processors to workstation-class systems.
Implement Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), semantic search, and knowledge retrieval capabilities where appropriate.
Design AI orchestration workflows supporting distributed inference across multiple edge devices.
Develop evaluation methodologies for AI accuracy, latency, resource utilization, and operational performance.
Implement model monitoring, observability, testing, and automated evaluation frameworks.
Collaborate with software engineers to integrate AI models into production software platforms.
Optimize models using quantization, pruning, distillation deployment technologies.
Support experimentation involving multimodal data sources, sensor-derived features, and structured mission data.
Develop AI governance practices including model evaluation, explainability, responsible AI, and secure deployment.
Document model development, evaluation results, and technical recommendations.
Support customer demonstrations and prototype evaluations.

Bachelor degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or related discipline. An advanced degree is preferred.
5-8+ years of professional experience developing production AI or machine learning applications.
