Description: Job Description:
The Lockheed Martin Artificial Intelligence Center (LAIC) is building a multidisciplinary AI Red Team dedicated to ensuring that AI systems are secure, compliant, resilient, and responsibly deployed.
We are seeking engineers and researchers with strong technical backgrounds in AI/ML, embedded systems, or platform security who are eager to apply - or grow - a Red Team mindset. This role is ideal for those who enjoy thinking adversarially, breaking complex systems to make them stronger, and exploring the boundaries of modern AI technologies.
You don't need to be an expert in AI Red Teaming to apply - if you bring deep experience in at least one relevant domain and are passionate about security and responsible AI, we want to hear from you.
Responsibilities:
Design and perform Red Team assessments of AI systems, including:
o AI/ML model risks (e.g., adversarial attacks, LLM prompt injection, data/model leakage)
o Infrastructure vulnerabilities (e.g., GPU runtime security, firmware, cloud inference)
o Data pipeline risks (e.g., bias, lineage, privacy, compliance gaps)
Develop and maintain automated testing tools and reusable frameworks to evaluate system security, robustness, and compliance across the AI lifecycle
Collaborate with AI/ML developers, data scientists, platform engineers, and cybersecurity teams to build robust and secure systems from the ground up
Help define red teaming methodologies and best practices aligned with standards such as NIST AI RMF and MITRE ATLAS
Stay current on emerging threats, adversarial techniques, and responsible AI principles
Why Join Us:
This is your chance to help shape the frontier of AI security. We offer:
The opportunity to learn and grow into a Red Team leader
Flexible remote work, collaborative team culture, and mentorship
A mission-driven environment where your work directly protects systems of national importance
If you are an AI engineer who wants to think like a hacker - or a systems hacker ready to dive deep into AI - we want to meet you.
