Machine Learning Engineer

About the Company:

Etegent Technologies is a defense-focused technology company with offices in Beavercreek and Blue Ash, OH. We are a multi-disciplinary team of engineers, scientists, and management professionals dedicated to developing and commercializing AI/ML/Software solutions that address our customers’ most significant challenges and opportunities. Most important to us are our culture and values. Etegent’s culture embodies respect, authenticity, collaboration, flexibility, curiosity, and fun.

The Position: Etegent is seeking Machine Learning Engineers (MLEs) to work with our Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) group based in the Beavercreek office. MLEs will work in a team environment with Etegent teammates, customers, and other researchers from leading academic institutions, government organizations and commercial entities. We deliver solutions in the domains of AI/ML, data science, software, and visualization to address geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) challenges for Department of Defense and Intelligence Community (DoD/IC) customers.

We develop data science tools to analyze large, diverse datasets from a variety of sensor types (SAR, ISAR, GMTI, HIS, EO, IR). We design and implement algorithms to perform pattern recognition, such as statistical and deep learning techniques, to identify meaningful trends and patterns. We wrap these algorithms in accessible, scalable software to be deployed on customer systems, often requiring containerized software and custom user interfaces for visualization.

This position is based in Beavercreek, OH with the expectation of being in Etegent’s office or at a customer facility 5 days a week. The Candidate: More so than seeking a candidate with specific training and experience, Etegent is seeking a candidate with an innate curiosity and passion for learning and understanding, tempered by a recognition of the pragmatic constraints inherent in developing real solutions to real problems.

Etegent needs an MLE who is flexible and adaptable, having the desire and ability to learn new skills and develop new capabilities to take on challenges outside their current realm of experience. We are seeking very sharp, curious, well-rounded, adaptable people who can learn and grow as required to confront the challenges at hand.
