Full timeHigher starting salary possible depending on experience levelBachelor's in a quantitative science, engineering, or other STEM fieldU.S. citizens (dual U.S. citizens also eligible)At least 18 years of ageWilling to move to the Washington, DC areaAble to complete security and medical evaluationsAs an Autonomous Systems and Robotics Specialist for CIA, you will conduct research on control systems and employ a wide range of AI techniques, including deep learning and machine learning, multi-agent systems, expert systems, and mixed-initiative human-machine teaming to enable outstanding intelligent collection and the exploitation of data from our collection systems. Our AI solutions will improve the performance of our collection systems, enabling faster, deeper, and better-explained insights from collection. The solutions will ultimately boost the performance of our mission experts by enabling human-machine teaming and putting the right insights before the right experts algorithmically.
CIA's collection systems offer specialized insights spanning a wide range of phenomena and types of data; the AI work occurs across the Agency with edge processing, core processing, and autonomous capabilities. You will be working with teams of world-class experts, both internal and external to CIA – in many cases, you will be steering the work of large collaborative teams. Your work will be realized using advanced hardware, software, and computational platforms with an emphasis on highly scalable and efficient solutions to bring exploitation capabilities to production and bear insights on the nation's most difficult national security challenges.
Problem-solving is highly collaborative; you will be working with problem domain experts, data and collection experts, systems designers and integrators, and with analysts who interpret the insights you will be deriving. You will develop your expertise with both Agency-sponsored continuing education, academic and conference participation, and highly integrated on-the-job training with deep domain experts.
Who You'll Work WithAt the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), we recognize our Nation's strength comes from the diversity of its people. People from a broad range of backgrounds and viewpoints work at CIA, and our diverse teams are the reason we can keep our country safe.
Our benefits support every aspect of a working professional's life, including health and wellness, time off, family, finances, and continuing education. Our programs include highly sought-after government health benefits, flexible schedules, sick leave, and childcare. In some cases, we also offer sign-on incentives and cover moving expenses if you relocate.
As a CIA employee, you'll also get the satisfaction of knowing your work is part of something bigger than yourself. Our work is driven by one mission: to keep our Nation safe. Every day is an opportunity to enhance U.S. national security.
