• Assist in the development, training, and evaluation of ML models across a range of mission-relevant tasks
• Support data ingestion, preprocessing, and feature engineering pipelines
• Run experiments, track results, and contribute to model evaluation and iteration
• Write clean, documented, and testable Python code as part of a collaborative engineering team
• Learn and grow alongside senior engineers, contributing meaningfully from day one

QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, machine learning, data science, electrical engineering, or a similar discipline, plus 2-4 years of experience; or a Master's degree in one of these fields with no experience required.
• Proficiency in Python
• Foundational understanding of machine learning concepts including supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and model evaluation
• Exposure to ML frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX through coursework, research, or personal projects
• Strong mathematical fundamentals in linear algebra, statistics, and probability
• Eagerness to learn, take feedback, and grow in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment
• Passion for spaceflight and advancing capabilities related to space domain awareness and space security

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

• Internship, research, or project experience applying ML to real-world or research datasets
• Familiarity with classification, regression, clustering, or anomaly detection techniques
• Experience with version control (Git) and basic software engineering practices
• Exposure to MLOps concepts such as experiment tracking or model versioning
• Coursework or project work in deep learning, computer vision, or time-series analysis

COMPENSATION

• Base Salary: $125,000 - $220,000
• Equity + Benefits including Health, Dental, Vision, HRA/HSA options, PTO and paid holidays, 401K, Parental Leave

Your 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, location, and experience.
