Job Description

Swingtech is supporting the U.S. Department of Labor with AI/ML solutions that rely on reliable, secure, and well-governed data. As an AI/ML Data Engineer in a hybrid role based in Washington, DC, you will develop and sustain the data foundations that enable analytics, document intelligence, RAG, and production AI capabilities.

This position focuses on structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data pipelines, including document ingestion workflows, data modeling and governance controls, and operational support for secure training, validation, evaluation, and production datasets.

Responsibilities

Design, build, test, deploy, and maintain scalable data pipelines for batch, streaming, near-real-time, and event-driven workloads.
Integrate approved agency data sources, APIs, file stores, document repositories, relational databases, data lakes, data warehouses, and authorized external sources.
Develop ETL/ELT pipelines for extraction, validation, transformation, normalization, enrichment, de-identification, metadata management, and loading.
Implement document-ingestion pipelines supporting OCR, parsing, classification, metadata extraction, PII detection/redaction, chunking, embeddings, vector indexing, and retrieval workflows.
Create and maintain data models, schemas, data dictionaries, metadata structures, catalog records, and data-quality controls.
Implement data lineage, source provenance, dataset versioning, retention, access controls, and auditability across training, validation, evaluation, and production datasets.
Preserve separation of training, validation, and final evaluation datasets through controlled access, versioning, and documented lifecycle processes.
Develop and monitor data-quality measures including completeness, accuracy, timeliness, duplication, validity, freshness, distribution drift, and labeling quality.
Apply data minimization, masking, encryption, access controls, de-identification, and least-privilege safeguards for PII, CUI, and other protected DOL data.
Collaborate with AI/ML Engineers to improve retrieval quality, embeddings, vector stores, hybrid search, reranking, citation traceability, and knowledge-base refresh processes.
Develop data-pipeline runbooks, technical documentation, source inventories, lineage artifacts, data-quality reports, and operational support procedures.
Support security, privacy, ATO, Responsible AI, incident response, MLOps, monitoring, and release-readiness activities.

Bachelor’s degree in computer science, data engineering, data science, information systems, software engineering, mathematics, or a related technical discipline.
At least 4 years of experience in data engineering, database development, analytics engineering, ETL/ELT development, data-platform implementation, or related work.
