Vantor is solving the problem of enabling decision makers and operators to navigate current events and shape future outcomes through spatial intelligence and geospatial analytics, particularly in government mission challenges.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Data Science, Engineering, Math, Physics, Computer Science, Applied Geography, or related field, with 7+ years of experience designing, developing, testing, and deploying AI/ML models across diverse data types.
- Minimum 2 years of experience with synthetic training data generation, low-shot learning, and robust ML, as well as cloud-based platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure) and AI/ML services (e.g., SageMaker, Watson Studio).
- Experience working with remote sensing and GEOINT datasets, including EO, RF, and SAR imagery, and familiarity with government collection platforms.
- Proficiency with the Python data science stack (e.g., numpy, pandas, matplotlib, sklearn) and geospatial libraries (e.g., gdal, geopandas, shapely).
- Experience with deep learning algorithms for image science (e.g., YOLO, SSD, DetectNet) and containerization platforms (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes, OpenShift, Cloud Foundry).
- Strong background working in Linux environments and using version control tools such as Git and GitLab.
- Ability to design and implement compute hardware and infrastructure solutions to support both edge and backend AI/ML applications.
Responsibilities
- Contribute to multi-discipline AI/ML research teams using multi-INT data (with emphasis on GEOINT) to design, implement, and evaluate machine learning solutions.
- Engineer and transform diverse data types to support all phases of the AI/ML workflow.
- Architect, develop, and integrate novel AI/ML models (e.g., computer vision, semantic activity detection, geospatial analytics, signal processing).
- Design, implement, and assess edge-based AI/ML solutions across hardware and software stacks.
- Stay current on AI/ML advances from industry and academia, applying them to government mission challenges.
- Provide subject matter expertise, mentoring, and strategic advice to government and internal teams on AI/ML trends, approaches, and delivery strategies.
- Communicate progress, results, risks, and challenges to government clients, partners, and project leadership.
Other
- Must be a U.S. citizen with an active TS/SCI and the ability to obtain a CI polygraph.
- Ability to work effectively with geographically distributed teams and onsite in Herndon, VA or Westminster, CO.
- Strong communication skills demonstrated through technical writing (e.g., proposals, white papers, academic publications) and speaking engagements (e.g., briefings, conference presentations), with excellent organizational skills and attention to detail.
- Must be a U.S. Person as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3).
- Applicants who do not currently hold the required clearance will not be eligible for consideration for cleared roles.
