Support production hardening and performance tuning post-pilot.

Hands-on experience with GPU infrastructure (NVIDIA, CUDA, TensorRT).

Familiarity with NetApp AI Pod or similar storage/compute AI reference architectures.

Strong background with non-Microsoft AI ecosystems (Hugging Face, PyTorch, TensorFlow, LangChain, Kubernetes-based MLOps, etc.).

Experience delivering AI projects for regulated industries (public sector, healthcare, finance, or defense).

Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.

Preferred Qualifications

Prior experience with government or public sector AI initiatives.

Familiarity with security/compliance frameworks (FedRAMP, DoD SRG, NIST, HIPAA, CJIS).

Enterprise consulting background with proven client references.

Clearance: Active DoD, CJIS, or equivalent preferred.

Engagement Structure

Phase 1 – Discovery (4–6 weeks): Requirements gathering, architecture design, initial proof-of-concept.

Phase 2 – Pilot (6–10 weeks): Build and validate AI workflows with NetApp AI Pod, including training/inference pipelines.

Phase 3 – Production Hardening: Optimize, secure, and scale solution with documentation and handover to client.
