SUMMARY:Network & Hiring Event: Agentic AI and Quantum Careers in Knoxville
DESCRIPTION:Join CGI for an informal networking and hiring event at Fred’s Around the Corner\, focused on the next wave of mission-ready technology: advanced agentic AI\, quantum-ready systems\, and the real-world workloads where they matter most. Meet CGI leaders and technologists\, learn about our work in Knoxville\, and explore opportunities to build\, ship\, and scale solutions that move beyond pilots into production.\nHeavy hors d’oeuvres and drink tickets will be provided. To confirm your attendance\, please complete the RSVP form. \n5:00 – 5:30 p.m. — Arrival\, appetizers\, and networking\n5:30 – 6:00 p.m. — Welcome + “What we’re building in Knoxville” (CGI overview)\n6:00 – 6:45 p.m. — Hiring spotlight: roles\, teams\, and mission work (Agentic AI + Quantum)\n6:45 – 7:30 p.m. — Q&A\, meet-the-team networking\, and next steps \nAbout the event\nAI is rapidly becoming mission-critical in regulated\, high-stakes environments. At the same time\, the next advantage is emerging at the intersection of AI and quantum computing—especially for optimization\, planning\, and resource allocation at scale. Turning that promise into deployable capability takes more than tools: it requires engineering rigor\, security-minded delivery\, and builders who can operate in real mission contexts. \nThis event is for people who want to do hands-on work—designing\, building\, integrating\, and operating modern AI systems (and preparing for quantum-ready approaches) in a production environment. \nWho should attend\n\nFull-stack engineers\, platform engineers\, and cloud engineers\nAI/ML engineers\, applied scientists\, and data engineers\nMLOps/AIOps\, DevSecOps\, and automation/orchestration practitioners\nSystems thinkers who like solving hard problems end-to-end—from prototype to production\nStudents\, early-career technologists\, and experienced hires interested in Knoxville’s innovation ecosystem\n\nWhat you’ll learn\n\nWhat CGI does in Knoxville and how our teams deliver real outcomes\nHow we’re advancing agentic AI orchestration across modernization\, greenfield development\, and operations\nWhere quantum-ready thinking fits today (and what “practical” looks like)\nHow to engage: open roles\, interview process\, and ways to stand out\n\nHiring note\nSome roles may require U.S. citizenship and the ability to obtain a security clearance (role-dependent). Bring questions—and if you have a portfolio\, GitHub\, or project demos\, feel free to share.

SUMMARY:PSCC Manufacturing Symposium Emerging Technologies Series
DESCRIPTION:Pellissippi State Community College will soon host a manufacturing symposium on the impact of a significant emerging technology: digital twinning. \nPresented by Pellissippi State’s Office of Workforce and Community Development and LaborUp\, “Digital Twinining and its Impact on Manufacturing Today” will take place from 7:30 to 9 a.m. in the Ruth and Steve West Workforce Development Center at the college’s Blount County campus on April 24. Breakfast will be provided. \n“We are excited to spotlight digital twinning as part of our Emerging Technologies series\,” said Executive Director of Workforce and Community Development Susan Webb-Curtis. “While AI continues to dominate the conversation\, we wanted to shine a light on another transformative technology shaping the future.” \nA digital twin is a virtual replica of a physical asset\, process or system continuously updated with real-world data\, which allows manufacturers to simulate\, monitor and optimize without touching the physical object. This technology is accelerating rapidly and becoming more accessible for smaller manufacturers. \nAssociate Professor and Animation Program Coordinator Kent McQuilkin will explore how digital twinning has become a transformative technology in manufacturing\, with applications across the entire production lifecycle. \nMcQuilkin\, an award-winning animation producer\, author\, college instructor\, animator and broadcast-studio consultant\, has worked with Oak Ridge National Lab\, the State Department\, the Department of Energy and others as a 3D Visualization and Simulation designer. He has designed and produced film and television\, product labels and more. \nAt the symposium\, he will discuss his experiences with digital twinning in broadcast television\, film\, nuclear nonproliferation\, process simulation\, defense simulation and its adoption in the manufacturing industry. \n“We invite business\, education and manufacturing professionals to join us for breakfast and take full advantage of this symposium\,” Webb-Curtis said. \nRegister for Pellissippi’s spring 2026 manufacturing symposium to reserve your spot. The event is free.
