ABOUT EXOANALYTIC SOLUTIONS

ExoAnalytic Solutions is a defense technology company developing cutting-edge sensor signal processing, algorithms, modeling, simulation, and analytics tools to support mission-critical defense and space systems. Our software and sensor technologies enhance the missile and space defense domains and enable faster, data-driven decision-making for national defense.

As an employee-owned company, we combine deep technical expertise with a culture of innovation, autonomy, and shared success. Our engineers work at solving problems of global importance.

ABOUT THE ROLE

ExoAnalytic Solutions develops advanced algorithms, AI / ML solutions, and software tools for modeling, simulation, sensing, and decision support across space and missile defense systems. We are a recognized leader in algorithm development and applied artificial intelligence, delivering technically rigorous solutions to problems of national importance.

ExoAnalytic Solutions is seeking an AI Machine Learning Engineer – Space & Missile Defense to join a multidisciplinary team developing advanced machine learning–driven capabilities for sensing, tracking, decision-making, and battle management. This role focuses on the design, development, integration, and evaluation of AI / ML algorithms within modeling, simulation, and operational decision-support environments. The ideal candidate is comfortable working at the intersection of AI / ML, algorithms, and complex physical systems, and enjoys translating operational challenges into deployable AI-enabled solutions.

This position is well suited for engineers who want to apply modern AI / ML techniques—such as deep learning, reinforcement learning, probabilistic reasoning, and multi-agent systems—to real-world aerospace and defense problems, while collaborating closely with systems engineers, analysts, and domain experts.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Design, develop, and evaluate AI / ML algorithms for space and missile defense applications, including sensing, tracking, classification, prediction, and decision-making
  • Implement machine learning solutions within modeling and simulation environments, analytical tools, and prototype operational systems
  • Develop and train models using supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning techniques
  • Integrate AI / ML components with physics-based models, simulations, and system-level architectures
  • Analyze AI / ML performance, limitations, uncertainty, and robustness in operationally relevant scenarios
  • Collaborate with systems engineers, analysts, and domain experts to translate mission needs into AI / ML-driven solutions
  • Support experimentation, test campaigns, and algorithm trade studies using simulated and real-world data
  • Document algorithms, assumptions, data requirements, and performance results for technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Contribute to technical planning, architecture decisions, and proposal development as needed
  • Manage individual tasks and deliverables while contributing to team-level technical decision-making
  • MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

  • Strong foundation in machine learning and artificial intelligence concepts, including model development, training, validation, and evaluation
  • Proficiency in Python for AI / ML development; experience with C++ or similar languages is a plus
  • Experience with modern ML frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX, or similar)
  • Demonstrated experience developing, implementing, or integrating AI / ML algorithms into software systems or simulations
  • Understanding of data preprocessing, feature engineering, model evaluation, and performance metrics
  • Experience using version control systems (e.g., Git) in a collaborative development environment
  • Ability to reason about algorithm tradeoffs, assumptions, uncertainty, and failure modes
  • Ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences
  • Eligibility to obtain a Secret clearance
  • Excellent written, oral, and interpersonal communication skills
  • Working proficiency in verbal and written English
  • PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • Active Secret or Top-Secret clearance
  • Advanced degree (M.S. or Ph.D.) in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, or a related field
  • Experience in aerospace, defense, missile defense, space systems, or national security applications
  • Experience with reinforcement learning, multi-agent systems, or decision-theoretic methods
  • Experience integrating AI / ML with modeling & simulation, digital twins, or physics-based environments
  • Familiarity with sensor-related AI / ML applications (e.g., EO / IR or RF detection, tracking, fusion, and classification)
  • Experience with uncertainty quantification, probabilistic modeling, or statistical inference
  • Experience with high-performance computing, GPU acceleration, or large-scale training workflows
  • Familiarity with containerization, reproducible ML pipelines, or MLOps concepts
  • Experience supporting algorithm-heavy systems such as battle management, autonomy, decision aids, or command-and-control tools
  • SALARY RANGE

    $115,000 - $190,000+ annually.

    Actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations : job-related knowledge and skills, education, and years of experience.
