Senior Neural Network Engineer

Saalex is seeking a Senior Neural Network Engineer in Bethesda, MD to support NSWC Carderock’s requirements for engineering, IT, and technical support for data analysis, software development and modifications, control system development, IT and Information assurance (IA). The work performed will be in support of various projects related to surface ships, submarines, boats and combatant craft, air vehicles, other vehicles going through air and/or water, associated trainers and simulators from any of the above, and IT infrastructure.

Senior Neural Network Engineers apply the theories and principles of science and mathematics to research and develop economical solutions to technical problems. Their work is the link between perceived social needs and commercial applications. Engineers design products, machinery, implement improved ways to extract, process, and use raw materials, such as petroleum and natural gas, develop new materials that both improve the performance of products and take advantage of advances in technology. Engineers analyze the impact of the products they develop or the systems they design on the environment and on the people using them.

In addition to design and development, many work in testing, production, or maintenance by supervising production in factories, determining the causes of breakdowns, and the testing of manufactured products to maintain quality. They also estimate the time and cost to complete projects.
