About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Serve as the lead AI/ML technical expert supporting data-driven operations across planning, execution, and assessment activities for Combatant Commands (CCMDs).
Design, develop, and deploy machine learning, artificial intelligence, and advanced statistical models to support operational analysis, campaign assessment, and decision support.
Develop and operationalize AI-enabled capabilities that automate data ingestion, processing, and analysis across structured and unstructured data sources.
Build and maintain scalable model pipelines and architectures supporting cross-domain and enterprise-level data integration.
Apply AI/ML techniques (e.g., predictive modeling, clustering, natural language processing, network analysis) to identify patterns, trends, narratives, and adversary behaviors in the information environment.
Integrate AI/ML outputs into operational workflows, enabling support to planning, integration, data operations, assessment, and operational execution.
Collaborate with planners, Assessment Integrators, Data Scientists, and operational staff to translate analytic outputs into actionable insights for decision-makers.
Develop and support AI-enabled dashboards, decision-support tools, and analytic platforms that provide real-time or near-real-time insights.
Support the development of reusable models and frameworks that can scale across multiple CCMDs and mission sets.
Ensure models are transparent, explainable, and aligned to mission requirements, including measurement of effectiveness and operational impact (ROI-informed outputs).
