Develop and evaluate AI/ML solutions for R&D projects supporting DoD systems. Responsibilities include model development, independent verification and validation, effectiveness reporting, vendor and research-partner collaboration, code review, and integration with external development teams. The role emphasizes mathematical and data science foundations, model validation, secure deployment, and constructive technical assessment across machine learning, LLMs, reinforcement learning, diffusion models, explainable AI, and adversarial AI.
About Us
T2S Solutions is an innovative, agile, mission-focused product and solution provider specializing in Rapid Prototyping and Experimentation, Systems Development, Integration, Test and Sustainment. Our customers include the DoD, Mission Partners and the Intelligence Community, Industry Partners, and other Government Agencies.
Summary
T2S is seeking to hire an AI/ML Software Engineer and will consist of working with the Research and Development (R&D) team to develop solutions, perform Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V), and creating reports on model and technique effectiveness. We are looking for a candidate with less of a prompt engineering or AI ops focus, and more on the mathematical and data science background.
The ideal candidate will also have experience working in a team environment, is not afraid to dive into internal, vendor or partner solutions to understand how they work, can provide honest and constructive feedback backed up with scientific rigor, and is comfortable explaining to colleagues and leadership the pros and cons of a given solution with integrity.
Responsibilities and Duties
- Collaborate with the team on R&D projects throughout their lifecycle, from initial proposal to final wrap up, particularly in how it can/does leverage AI/ML models and products, with a goal of integration into partner DoD systems
- Work with vendors through CRADAs to provide constructive feedback on their products and solutions, to improve accuracy, safety, or meet other requirements of the Branch
- Work with external research partners in academia and industry to guide their research projects to meet the project’s goals and collaborate in building a solution that can provide meaningful value to the Branch
- Collaborate and communicate clearly with internal and external development teams, using teams, source control, ticketing, and code review tools
Qualifications and Skills
Required
- Must be a U.S. Citizen with an active Secret Clearance (REQUIRED)
- Bachelor’s degree in a field related to AI and ML (Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Mathematics, Statistics, Data Science, et al) and 3-5+ years of directly related experience
- Proficiency in at least one of the following languages and libraries used within the field (A core competency will be reading and understanding code written by others, and ability to adapt to different styles/architectures is expected): Python (PyTorch, TensorFlow, or Scikit-learn), Rust, or Go
- Proficiency in Git for version control
- Experience in developing or applying one or more of the following types of models or related activities: Classical machine learning paradigms such as computer vision and object classification, Large Language Models (LLMs): Understanding the internal structure and how they function / Prompt engineering, debugging, and validation
- Reinforcement learning techniques, Both Agentic AI (using reprompting) and classical agents
- Diffusion Models for both Image modalities as well as other modalities
- Neuro-symbolic solutions that tie the classical or generative models to verifiable logic
- Adversarial AI/AI Security such as model poisoning, prompt injection, mcp exploits, etc.
- Explainable AI (XAI)
- Experience in deploying models and applications using them in a containerized environment (Kubernetes/Docker)
Desired
- TS/SCI Clearance
- Strong proficiency in the mathematical bedrock of AI/ML
- Experience with real-world deployments is a plus
- Experience with air-gapped, secure networks and running models on them
- Knowledge and experience with scaling down models to fit on austere (low resource) platforms
T2S believes that our employees are our most valuable asset, and we strive to provide them with the resources and support they need to thrive both personally and professionally. Join our team and experience the benefits of working for a company that values its employees and invests in their future!

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
