Position Overview
Chameleon Integrated Services is seeking a hands-on AI/ML and MLOps Lead to drive our technical solution and bridge a key corporate capability gap. This role requires a production-focused machine learning engineering leader rather than an academic researcher or a high-level AI strategist.

Responsibilities
  • Provide hands-on technical leadership across the entire machine learning lifecycle, including use-case analysis, data-readiness assessments, and validation testing.
  • Direct and execute comprehensive data preparation tasks, encompassing complex data cleaning, transformation, and custom feature engineering.
  • Perform systematic model evaluations, mathematical selections, algorithmic training, and precise performance tuning against defined mission metrics.
  • Orchestrate the production deployment of validated models into operational hybrid-cloud and on-premises environments.
  • Establish automated continuous monitoring systems to track model health, performance metrics, and data drift over time.
  • Implement and enforce strict version control, documentation standards, and rigorous DevSecOps/MLOps governance controls across all operational AI assets.
  • Ensure all developed artificial intelligence models strictly adhere to agency-wide data governance policies and enterprise architecture baselines.
Required Skills & Qualifications
  • Demonstrated hands-on engineering experience managing the full end-to-end ML lifecycle from initial business problem through live operational deployment.
  • Practical engineering experience handling backend data preparation, structural validation, and feature-engineering pipelines.
  • Proven capability setting up automated MLOps tracking mechanisms, performance monitoring, and model drift alerting systems.
  • Strong understanding of version-control workflows, containerized model deployment, and DevSecOps pipeline integrations.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Prior experience delivering federal, DoD, or highly regulated/classified data science and AI solutions into active production.
  • Active TS/SCI security clearance.
