AI Researcher

National Security Agency • Fort Meade, MD, US • published 2026-10-06 13:34:04.192591

Description

AI Research at NSA is a specialized discipline that intersects machine learning, experimental science, and software prototyping. AI Researchers answer open questions about AI system behavior, develop the methods and adaptations that make those systems effective under Agency data and constraints, and build the prototypes that demonstrate new capabilities. Individual researchers lean toward evaluation, method development, or applied prototyping based on background and assignment; most projects draw on all three. Responsibilities include: \- Design and run experiments that characterize AI system capability, behavior, and failure modes; build benchmarks and evaluation methodology where none exist. \- Develop training, fine\-tuning, retrieval, and inference techniques suited to Agency data, scale, and security constraints. \- Prototype novel AI applications and agentic systems that put emerging capabilities in analysts' hands, and iterate them based on user feedback. \- Investigate model internals, robustness, and safety, including how AI systems can be attacked, manipulated, or induced to fail. \- Assess vendor, open\-source, and internally developed AI systems against government basel...
