Junior Data Scientist Security Clearance

Position: Junior Data Scientist with Security Clearance
Position Description & Qualifications At Serco, we foster a dynamic and collaborative work environment where team members contribute to innovative, high-impact projects for leading government clients. We provide opportunities to solve complex challenges, improve processes, and utilize the latest technologies to deliver top-tier products and services to our customers. The positions on this contract are located both CONUS and OCONUS in support of Army Sustainment Command (ASC).

As a Junior Data Scientist you will play a key role in supporting Army Sustainment Command (ASC). In this role, you will:
* Perform advanced analysis and analytics to produce algorithms and/or business
process recommendations.

* Develop and use data, algorithms, and analyses to identify and apply
mechanisms to both overcome impediments to materiel readiness and exploit
opportunities to improve readiness through feasible, cost-effective software and
business process improvements, changes, and interventions.

* Forecast and address complex analytical challenges and identify the challenges
and opportunities within systems, develop comprehensive solutions, and
incorporate these capabilities solutions into software and workflows.

* Develop analytics and process solution sets, the criteria for recommended
algorithms and processes shall include preference for efficient methods that use
as simple of a process as possible given the current state-of-the-art practices.
The analytics and process solution sets shall provide appropriate, economic
savings-driven answers.

* Regularly identify and communicate courses of actions required for program and
project success, including appropriate reporting processes and applicable
metrics to monitor and assess outcomes.

* Proactively identify mechanisms to improve mission performance.

* Use appropriate quantitative analytics techniques to include time series analysis
and forecasting, advanced multivariate regression (including Probit and Logit
Models), systems dynamics modelling, Bayesian inference procedures, minimax
procedures (statistical), subjective probability utilization, expected utility analysis,
operational risk analysis, and uncertainty evaluation.

* Use appropriate qualitative analytics techniques to include multi-criteria decision
analysis, qualitative comparative analysis, causal mapping, formal game theory,
minimax procedures (game theory), decision architecture, systems architecture
analysis, organizational analysis and structural reform, supply chain analysis,
and multinational best practices (military and industry) evaluation.

* Use logistics and agent-based modeling and simulation.

* Conduct business process analysis and optimization across the Doctrine,
Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership, Education, Personnel, Facilities,
Policy (DOTMLPF-P) spectrum and beyond.

* Produce formal use cases, software program change requests, and other
required documentation for technology insertion into related defense logistics
support software.

* Interface and liaise with software program offices and contractors.

* Develop requirements for defense analytics software.

* Conduct stakeholder analysis and create products for stakeholder
communications and messaging.
To be successful in this role, you will have:
* U.S. Citizenship

* An Active Secret Clearance or an interim Secret Clearance.

* Experience working with tools, including object-oriented programming (Python, Java), computational analysis tools (R, MATLAB), and associated data science libraries (scikit-learn).

* Experience creating meaningful data visualizations and interactive dashboards using platforms such as Tableau, Qlik, Power BI, RShiny, plotly, and d3.js to communicate findings and relate them back to how your insights create business impact.

* Working knowledge of databases and SQL; preferred qualifications include linking analytic and data visualization products to database connections.

* Superior communication skills, both oral and written.

* Understand data science methods related to data architecture, data munging, data and feature engineering, and predictive analytics.
* Unstructured text and natural language processing.

* Experience using tools or langauges like R, Python, SAS, or MATLAB, Anaconda, IBM Blue, and Oracle Big Data to analyze large data sets and develop automated analytics in making sense of data.

* Experience using machine learning, data mining, statistical networks, natural language processing, text analytics, and graph-based algorithms to analyze massive data sets.
* Experience developing software to generate reports and visualizations that summarize data sets and provide data-driven insights.
* Experience developing and implementing statistical, machine learning, and heuristic techniques to create descriptive, predictive, and…
