Annapolis Junction, MD
Full Time
Data Modeling and Analysis
Experienced

What you will be doing!

As a Data Scientist, Level 3, your role is pivotal. Your Python expertise and experience in automating workflows, data manipulation, and visualization using Jupyter Notebooks will be crucial in our data-driven decision-making processes. You will be instrumental in streamlining processes and creating insightful visualizations.

Key Responsibilities
Your work will encompass a combination of at least two of the following domains:

  • Foundations: Applied mathematics, computational methods, and statistical theory
  • Data Processing: Data curation, descriptive analytics, visualization, workflow automation, and reproducibility
  • Modeling & Prediction: Statistical modeling, inference, domain-specific assessments, and evaluation of analytical results
Additional responsibilities include:
  • Drawing and communicating key findings using math, statistics, computer science, and domain knowledge
  • Applying advanced analytics and modeling techniques to large, complex datasets—often in raw or unstructured formats
  • Translating mission needs into technical requirements and guiding analysts in deriving appropriate conclusions
  • Communicating complex technical insights to diverse audiences, including non-technical decision-makers
Required Education & Experience
One of the following combinations:
  • Master’s degree with 8+ years of relevant experience
  • Bachelor’s degree with 10+ years of relevant experience
  • Associate degree with 12+ years of relevant experience
Acceptable fields of study include:
  • Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, Applied Statistics, Machine Learning, Data Science, Operations Research, or Computer Science
  • Related fields such as Computer Information Systems, Engineering, Physical Sciences (e.g., physics, chemistry, biology), or other scientific disciplines with a heavy computational focus
Degrees must include a significant number of upper-level math or computer science courses (typically 300-level or above) in areas such as linear algebra, probability, data structures, algorithms, artificial intelligence, or machine learning.

Alternatively, candidates with broader degrees may qualify if accompanied by a Certificate in Data Science from an accredited institution.

Required Technical Experience
  • Python programming (or other high-level language)
  • Machine learning algorithm design and implementation
  • Statistical analysis (EDA, inference, hypothesis testing, linear modeling)
  • Data engineering (cleaning, transformation, mining, and modeling)
  • Artificial intelligence and advanced analytics
  • Software engineering and reproducible workflow design
Clearance Required:   
  • Must possess an active TS/SCI with Polygraph security clearance to be considered for this role.
