The right candidate should possess an in-depth understanding of the research, development, or operational application of artificial intelligence technologies, with particular depth in the following areas:

Must have work experience with Large Language Models (LLMs) and machine learning (ML) model architectures, training methodologies, fine-tuning, and deployment at scale.

Must have the knowledge and experience necessary to advise on how LLM/ML systems are designed and evaluated, as well as how training for those systems is delivered, in both applied or research contexts.

Must have experience with hardware and software infrastructure requirements for effective LLM and ML development, to include GPU/TPU compute ecosystems, data center architecture, semiconductor supply chains, distributed training frameworks, and inference optimization techniques.

    

Must have experience with AI software development stacks, including familiarity with dominant frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX), model evaluation and benchmarking methodologies, and AI safety and alignment research.

Must have knowledge of current and near-term AI development trends, to include frontier model capabilities, multimodal systems, autonomous agents, dual-use AI risks, and the competitive global AI development landscape among state and non-state actors.

Must have experience with AI governance, policy, and international regulatory frameworks, including experience engaging with or advising government, academic, or industry stakeholders on AI policy development.

Must have knowledge of the current state and projected trajectory of AI capabilities relevant to arms control verification, treaty monitoring, and on-site inspection activities, including the use of AI in imagery analysis, data fusion, anomaly detection, and compliance assessment.
