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.
