MANTECH

MANTECH seeks a motivated, career and customer-oriented AI Architect to join our team full-time and 100% remote.

MANTECH is supporting the Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC) by developing a Cost Estimation AI-enabled project, highlighting the ability to deliver Agentic AI and Human-AI Teaming capabilities. We have successfully developed and validated an innovative secure AI solution that reshapes workflow efficiency by replacing manual, high-variability processes with a predictive, agent-driven capability. You will lead the frontier of autonomous computing, moving beyond simple chatbots to build Agentic AI systems capable of reasoning, planning, and executing complex, multi-step tasks with minimal human intervention. You will design the brains that interact with the real world through tools, APIs, and sophisticated feedback loops.

Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Lead a team of Developers and Data Engineers in building agentic frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, LangChain, or CrewAI) that uses iterative reasoning and planning
• Lead the frontier of autonomous computing, moving beyond simple chatbots to build Agentic AI systems capable of reasoning, planning, and executing complex, multi-step tasks with minimal human intervention
• Design the brains that interact with the real world through tools, APIs, and sophisticated feedback loops
• Drive the architecture and delivery of Human-AI Teaming capabilities for the AFCEC Cost Estimation project
• Replace manual, high-variability processes with predictive, agent-driven capabilities to reshape workflow efficiency
• Architect and deploy secure, scalable AI solutions tailored for government and defense environments
