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. The Level 3 Data Scientist shall possess the following capabilities: * Produce data visualizations that provide insight into dataset structure and meaning * Work with subject matter 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 * Lead a team of data scientists in the development of multiple analytic efforts * Work with customers and SMEs to define analytic requirements and guide the team in formulating analytics that meet requirements * Guide the transition of prototyped analytics to production system * Understand emerging machine learning and pattern recognition algorithms and guide a team of data scientists in integrating state-of-the-art algorithms into solutions * Delegate analysis responsibilities to one or more team members and monitor performance, We collect your mobile number and related opt-in data for the delivery of SMS messages.
