Clearance: - Active TS/SCI and Full Scope Polygraph Clearance Required (Expired within 18 Months is also acceptable)
Job Description: 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.
Responsibilities:
- Produce data visualizations that provide insight into dataset structure and meaning.
- Collaborate 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.
Requirements
Required Education & Years of Experience: - Requires a Bachelor's degree in a relevant discipline (e.g., statistics, mathematics, operations research, and engineering or computer science) from an accredited college or university, and four (4) years of experience analyzing datasets and developing analytics and two (2) year of experience programming with data analysis software such as R, Python, SAS, or MATLAB.
- A Master's degree in relevant discipline may be substituted for two (2) years of relevant experience analyzing datasets and developing analytics, and one (1) year of relevant experience programming with data analysis software such as R, Python, SAS, or MATLAB.
