POSITION SUMMARY: We are actively seeking Data Scientists, Levels 2-4 to join our team in multiple locations. The following locations are Agusta, Georgia, Ft. Meade, MD, and Colorado. Data Scientists employ highly creative solutions to address data analytics challenges, collect large volumes of data from varying sources, clean and interpret data, and create solutions to overcome challenges.

ESSENTIAL RESPONSIBILITIES: 

• Conduct data modeling and assessment.
• Analyze and produce intel information.
• Design and develop analytics or other data as well as scientific products to answer mission questions to enable better decision-making.
•  Devise strategies for extracting meaning and value from large datasets. 
• Use advanced computing skills to develop software.
• Make informed recommendations regarding competing technical solutions by maintaining awareness and processing, storage, and analytic capabilities and limitations.
• Through analytic modeling, statistical analysis, programming, and/or another appropriate scientific method, develop and implement qualitative and quantitative methods for characterizing, exploring, and assessing large datasets in various states of organization, cleanliness, and structure that account for the unique features and limitations.

SECURITY CLEARANCE: TS/SCI- willing to submit to a polygraph. 

QUALIFICATIONS:

•  Knowledge of working with Big Data, dataflow, machine learning, and analytics in GME Jupiter notebooks and Spark.
• Foundations (Mathematical, Computational, Statistical).
