A defense tech company (working with partners like NASA, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman) is hiring an AI Engineer in Huntsville, AL. You’ll work on building and deploying machine learning models, developing simulations, and integrating AI systems into real-world applications across mission-critical environments. The role includes optimizing model performance, evaluating new AI technologies, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver scalable, secure solutions.

Looking for 1–3 years of experience in AI/ML or software engineering with exposure to Python, Java, C++, or similar. Experience with model development, data pipelines, or applied AI systems is a plus. Must be a U.S. Citizen and hold (or be eligible for) a DoD Secret clearance. Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Math, or related field preferred.

We're looking at moving to the Huntsville/Decatur general area soon, but honestly the deciding factor is the ability to find a job. Are there any jobs in cybersecurity that do NOT require a security clearance? Not entry level.
we're looking at w. Huntsville / Decatur / Athens / Danville / Hartselle / Priceville .... I know that's a large area but we're looking at schools PLUS employment location.

TIA.
Sorry this is so vague...just trying to figure out where to start.

We recently moved to Huntsville for my spouse's job, but I'm struggling to find roles to apply for. The kinds of roles I'd be a good fit for:

* Communications specialist (universities, schools, cities, counties, hospitals, nonprofits)

* Content writing - think at businesses, corporations, alumni comms, internal newsletters, and similar.

* Possibly social media specialist positions.

In general, roles where my skills (writing, digital publishing, content management systems, editorial judgment, social distribution) are the core of the job.

We moved here from a much larger city in the Midwest, where I more frequently found these kinds of roles. I don't know if size is the main problem here. Huntsville is growing, but it seems like that kind of work is in shorter supply around here... or am I mistaken?

Insights appreciated. I've looked at cities, counties, school districts, the hospital, etc. but frequently find nothing. It seems there are not a lot of these kind of jobs around here - a lot of districts for example have ONE communication person - or maybe the problem is looking in the wrong place?

Hello, I'm 23F and I've recently moved to Alabama about 5 months ago, and I was wondering if there were any jobs hiring in the Bridgestreet area of Huntsville, AL? I've been applying to other jobs online, and so far, I haven't received any call backs. I'm open to any type of job.

Any other recommendations within a 10-15 minute commute from Madison area would be much appreciated.

Hi, I just finished my first year of university at UAH, and the summer is here so I have a vast amount of time.

I was lucky enough to land an internship in the area, however I’m an out of state student and the internship is part time, so it’d be great to supplement my internship with another job during the weekends and weeknights.

If anyone knows any niche places around town, or places that are hiring, or maybe if you’re an employer reading this, let me know. I’m open to pretty much anything.

If it helps I have previous experience working at Chick Fil A, H&R Block, UAH, and my current internship is in computational fluid dynamics. Thanks!
