Job Title: Data Scientist Level 2

Location(s): Annapolis Junction, Maryland Hours: Regular Full-Time

Clearance Requirements

This position requires a current and active TS/SCI with Poly at the time of application.

What you will be doing:

• A 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.
• Produce data visualizations that provide insight into dataset structure and meaning
• Work with subject matters experts (SMEs) to identify important information in raw data and develop scripts that extract this information from a variety of data formats (e.g., SQL tables, structured metadata, network logs)
• Incorporate SME input into feature vectors suitable for analytic development and testing
• Translate customer qualitative analysis process and goals into quantitative formulations that are coded into software prototypes
• Develop and implement statistical, machine learning, and heuristic techniques to create
  descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analytics
• Develop statistical tests to make data-driven recommendations and decisions
• 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

Position Requirements

Minimum Requirements:

Experience:

• Five years of experience analyzing datasets and developing analytics, five years of experience programming with data analysis software such as R, Python, SAS, or MATLAB.

Education:

• Bachelor's and Master's degree from an accredited college or university in a quantitative discipline (e.g., statistics, mathematics, operations research, engineering or computer science).
  • An additional two years of experience in software development, cloud development, analyzing datasets, or developing descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analytics can be substituted for a Master's degree.
  • A PhD from an accredited college or
    university in a quantitative discipline can be substituted for three years of experience.

Physical Demands:

This is largely a sedentary role; however, some filing is required. This would require the ability to move files, open filing cabinets and bend or stand as necessary.
