Expedition Technology
Principal Deep Learning Engineer
Expedition Technology, Herndon, Virginia, United States, 22070
At Expedition Technology (EXP), we work on real-world problems whose solutions will make an immediate impact on national security. If you desire an opportunity where you will apply your deep learning engineering expertise to challenging problems with no previously known solutions, EXP is the place to be!
We are seeking a Senior Level Engineer who will work with state-of-the-art large multi-modal models as applied to image and language processing. As part of our team, you'll use your knowledge of foundation models to customize and finetune downstream models that solve specific tasks. In particular, we seek novel techniques to assess model robustness and counter-AI vulnerabilities of foundation models. You'll have the opportunity to dive into models with complex architectures and use your coding expertise to modify them to our use cases. You'll have the freedom to scour current research to stay abreast of advances in Large Language Models (LLMs), Large Vision Models (LVMs), Large Vision Language Models (LVLMs), as well as other foundation models and apply that knowledge to address Intelligence Community (IC) challenges.
If you're energized to work in a "hands on keyboard" role alongside a dynamic team that is delivering novel solutions to the US DOD and Intel Communities in the areas of applied AI/DL, we'd like to talk with you.
