# Chief Scientist, AI/ML

Description Quantum Sky is hiring a Chief Scientist, AI/ML. You set the AI/ML technical bar for Project 137, and every team builds on your models, methods, and infrastructure. Reports to the Chief AI Officer. Onsite at the Project 137 lab preferred; remote with regular travel considered. Project 137 is Quantum Sky's applied-research and IP engine. It is a small, cleared, elite team that builds the differentiated technology our business units take to DoW, IC, and Federal Civilian missions. It runs four pillars: Quantum, Cyber, Decision Advantage (AI applications), and Digital Platforms & Infrastructure. This role sits across all four. The mission is to make Quantum Sky's AI better than anything a program office can buy off the shelf. Frontier models are a commodity. The advantage lives in what we build around them: models tuned on scarce and classified mission data, computer vision that finds the target, agents a program executive can trust and accredit, and the harness and hardware that run it all on-prem and at the edge. You set that bar, you lead the people who hold it, and you are the name customers and recruits recognize. Three things you will own: The model layer. Project 137'
