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
- 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
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
- 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
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
- Must possess an active TS/SCI with Polygraph security clearance to be considered for this role.
