Job Description

Position Responsibilities:

A data scientist will develop machine learning data mining statistical and graphbased algorithms to analyze and make sense of datasets; prototype or consider several algorithms and decide upon final model based on suitable performance metrics; build models or develop experiments to generate data when training or example datasets are unavailable; generate reports and visualizations that summarize datasets and provide datadriven insights to customers; partner with subject matter experts to translate manual data analysis into automated analytics; implement prototype algorithms within production frameworks for integration into analyst workflows.

Required Degree and Experience:

Bachelors degree in a quantitative discipline (e.g. statistics mathematics operations research engineering or computer science) 7 years of experience Masters Degree 5 years of experience or PhD 2 years of experience

Required Skills:

• Programming experience with data analysis software such as R Python SAS or MATLAB.
• Develop experiments to collect data or models to simulate data when required data are unavailable.
• Develop feature vectors for input into machine learning algorithms.
• Identify the most appropriate algorithm for a given dataset and tune input and model parameters.
• Evaluate and validate the performance of analytics using standard techniques and metrics (e.g. cross validation ROC curves confusion matrices).
• Oversee the development of individual analytic efforts and guide team in analytic development process.
• Guide analytic development toward solutions that can scale to large datasets.
• Partner with software engineers and cloud developers to develop production analytics.
• Develop and train machine learning systems based on statistical analysis of data characteristics to support mission automation.
