Role overview

MANTECH seeks a motivated, career- and customer-oriented Jr Data Scientist to join our innovative team in Ashburn, VA. This is a part time hybrid position with 1 day onsite a week.

Each day U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) oversees the massive flow of people, capital, and products that enter and depart the United States via air, land, sea, and cyberspace. The volume and complexity of both physical and virtual border crossings require the application of “big data” solutions to promote efficient trade and travel. These solutions provide CBP personnel with additional tools to evaluate potential threats from legitimate trade and travel.

What you'll work on

  • Research and experiment with state-of-the-art AI/ML methods (LLMs, generative AI).
  • Work with senior engineers to package, test, and deploy AI/ML models in real operational environments.
  • Collect, evaluate, analyze and abstract data from specific sources
  • Identify, review, and evaluate large volumes of sensitive and complex intelligence data pertaining to CBP initiatives
  • Collaborate with intel analysts, enterprise/application architects, database architects, data scientists, and mission stakeholders.
  • Exercise inductive and deductive reasoning using established intelligence techniques to analyze data from a variety of sources to develop trends, patterns, profiles, estimates, studies, and tactical interdiction information
  • Brief project management, technical design, and outcomes to both technical and non-technical audiences throughout the project lifecycle through written as well as virtual reporting.

What we're looking for

  • The person in this position needs to occasionally move about inside the office to access file cabinets, office machinery, or to communicate with coworkers, management, and customers, which may involve delivering presentations.
