Job Description
Insight Global is seeking a Tier V Machine Learning Research Scientist to support one of our large federal clients. This is a fully remote position responsible for leading capture initiatives, communicating strategy, and technical execution with a day-to-day including but not limited to:
Serve in the role of principal investigator on contract R&D and internal R&D programs.
Engaging R&D customers and transition partners to develop new business opportunities and leading teams of researchers and engineers in the development, adaptation, and extension of innovative ML-based approaches and solutions across a range of technical areas and application domains, for diverse and often disparate types of data and complexity, and for projects that are inherently both fundamental and applied in nature.
The innovative technical solutions will advance the state of the art in machine learning and/or artificial intelligence while addressing long-term problems of importance to national security. As such, candidates should have successful, proven, and demonstrable experience leading proposals and winning competitive research and development efforts, and then leading high-performing teams in the development and integration of software-based solutions for customers such as DARPA, IARPA and other branches of the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community.
The ML Research Scientist will also have a hands-on role and is expected to customize and create various machine learning algorithms to operate over multi-domain data and optimizing the performance of those algorithms on the data.
They will be expected to develop expertise in one or more technical domains, demonstrating ability to automate, extract, and prepare features from multi-domain datasets as well as modify and optimize various models within their technical domain. For example, they may adapt NLP libraries/toolkits that include transformer models like BERT and ChatGPT, as well as Stanford CoreNLP, Spacy, NLTK, Word2Vec, and Gensim for linguistics application or models like SSD, YOLO, DINO, and Faster-RCNN for computer vision tasks.
Hourly Compensation Range: $88.94/hr - $103.37/hr
Conversion Salary: $185k - $215k
