Yewser

Machine Learning Engineer

We are a seasoned defense technology company recognized for our innovation in applying machine learning and deep learning solutions to critical national security initiatives.

Our reputation for technical excellence and reliability has positioned us as a top choice for securing some of the most complex and impactful government contracts. With our continued growth, we're expanding our team and seeking multiple ML/AI specialists who hold an active Top Secret or TS/SCI clearance.

Why You'll Want to Join
  • Competitive compensation packages well above industry norms

  • Comprehensive benefits, including a standout 15% 401(k) match

  • Engage in highly strategic, mission-critical work at the frontier of AI and defense innovation

Position Overview

We're currently hiring a Machine Learning Engineer to support next-generation defense programs requiring active Top Secret or SCI clearance. This is an opportunity to contribute to deeply technical projects involving computer vision, sensor data processing, and advanced ML frameworks, all in support of national security missions.

What You'll Do
  • Design and deploy high-performance ML models focused on image and signal processing, including RADAR and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data streams

  • Collaborate with data scientists and software engineers to solve highly complex modeling challenges

  • Utilize techniques in data mining, feature extraction, and deep learning to create scalable analytics platforms

  • Stay on the pulse of evolving technologies in AI/ML and related software and hardware ecosystems

  • Operate within classified environments while strictly adhering to data protection protocols tied to security clearance requirements

  • Partner with interdisciplinary teams to translate mission needs into actionable ML solutions

  • Communicate your findings clearly—bridging the gap between technical insights and strategic decision-making

  • Continually enhance model performance and data handling systems to meet dynamic defense use cases

What You Bring
  • A bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a similar technical discipline (Master's or PhD preferred)

  • 5+ years of experience in applied ML, with an emphasis on sensor data, signal/image analysis, and AI model development

  • Strong coding proficiency in Python, C++, and C

  • Hands-on experience with ML libraries such as TensorFlow, Keras, or similar frameworks

  • Solid grasp of ML theory and application, especially in high-performance or embedded environments

  • Active Top Secret or SCI clearance is required

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, with clear communication skills

  • Comfortable working both independently and as part of a mission-driven, collaborative team

  • U.S. citizenship is required due to the classified nature of the projects

Make an Impact

This is more than a job—it's an opportunity to apply your expertise in service of something greater. If you're passionate about applying cutting-edge AI to national security challenges and thrive in high-trust, high-stakes environments, we'd love to hear from you.
