Data Scientist - TS​/SCI w​/Poly

Data Scientist

The Data Scientist will deploy, fine-tune, and monitor production machine learning models in a production environment. Additionally, they will provide support in the areas of data extraction, transformation and load (ETL), data mapping, analytics, operations, databases, and maintenance of data and associated systems. As a member of the team, candidate will work in a multi-tasking, quick-paced, dynamic, process-improvement environment that requires experience with the principles of data science, data modeling, data mapping, data testing, data quality, and documentation preparation.

This is a mission focused role requiring experience with deploying models in a production environment against real-time collection.

How a Data Scientist will make an impact:

• Create and maintain custody of production machine learning models across a variety of tasks, including but not limited to audio extraction, object recognition, Natural Language Processing (NLP), and other generic classification tasks
• Optimize existing machine learning services to better utilize current GPU capabilities and assist with road mapping future GPU requirements
• Deploy machine learning models against streaming data, designed to provide near-real time analytics to augment decision making
• Improve data architecture decisions with data engineers to better stage data for continuous training models in production
• Provide support in the areas of data extraction, transformation and load (ETL), data mapping, analytics, operations, databases, and maintenance of data and associated systems

Required technical skills:

• Demonstrated experience with the following:
  Python, Cuda, Kubernetes, CI/CD. Apache Kafka, REST architecture, Open-AI, LLMs, NLP, YOLO/Object Recognition, Whisper/Audio processing
• Demonstrated experience translating data insights into tools or analytic capabilities that inform operational decisions and/or improve processes
• Demonstrated experience with relational databases (SQL, Oracle) and No
  
  SQL databases (Elasticsearch, Neo4J, Redis)
• Demonstrated experience with GPU processing
• Demonstrated experience applying machine learning methodologies to build high-quality prediction models
• Familiar with servers operating systems;
  Windows, Linux, Distributed Computing, Blade Centers, and cloud infrastructure
• Familiar with database methodologies
• Familiar with Source code management and integration (ex - Git Hub/Git Lab, Jenkins, Run Deck)
• Familiar with Data Science frameworks such as Keras, Tensorflow, or Theano
• Ability to work well in a fast-paced, constantly evolving work environment with a focus on continual process improvement and a proactive approach to problem solving

What you'll need to succeed:

• 10+ years of related data science/statistical experience and 2+ years of software engineering or data engineering experience
• Bachelor's or Technology degree in Engineering or a related specialized area/field, OR equivalent 4 additional years job-related experience
• TS/SCI with Polygraph clearance
• Excellent organizational, coordination, interpersonal and team building skills
• Location:
  
  At Customer Site – near Tyson Corner

The likely salary range for this position is $212,500 - $287,500. This is not, however, a guarantee of compensation or salary. Rather, salary will be set based on experience, geographic location and possibly contractual requirements and could fall outside of this range.
