AI Engineer & Integrator

SMX is seeking an AI Engineer and Integrator to support government client at Camp Smith. The AI Integrator serves as the client-facing AI integration lead and secondary AI Engineer. This role sits close to the client and is responsible for ensuring that AI tools, processes, applications, and systems are accurate, adopted, operationally useful, and aligned with client needs.

The AI Integrator leads the Knowledge Systems Integrator team’s development efforts for new tools, processes, and applications. This role works directly with the client to identify where AI can improve operational planning, dynamic data analysis, business processes, and decision-making workflows. This position should also be classified as an AI Engineer because it requires technical AI understanding, tool development leadership, AI workflow design, and the ability to work with the primary AI Engineer on AI-enabled systems.

The difference is that the AI Integrator is more client-facing and adoption-focused, while the AI Engineer is more technically focused on system development. This position requires a current DoD Top Secret SCI security clearance which requires US citizenship for work on DoD contracts. This position is full-time onsite in Aiea, Hawaii.
