Job Description
Technical Bachelor's Degree and Master's Degree required, Software engineering experience can be substituted for the Masters.

• The data scientist will develop machine learning, data mining, statistical and graph-based 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 data-driven 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.
• 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, Receiver Operating Characteristic (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.
