Data Scientist 2

About the role

What Impact You'll Have

- We are actively searching for Data Scientists, located in Maryland, to support our team. We have varying levels of Data Scientist roles, depending on years of experience and education.

- The ideal candidate should possess expertise in AI/ML, proficiency in Python, and hands-on experience with deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch and TensorFlow, with an added advantage if they have cyber knowledge. This role combines artificial intelligence and machine learning skills with a strong foundation in programming and cybersecurity.

What You'll be Owning

- Foundations: (Mathematical, Computational, Statistical) 2. Data Processing: (Data management and curation, data description and visualization, workflow, and reproducibility)

- Modeling, Inference, and Prediction: (Data modeling and assessment, domain-specific considerations)

- Devise strategies for extracting meaning and value from large datasets.

- Make and communicate principled conclusions from data using elements of mathematics, statistics, computer science, and application specific knowledge.

- 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 inherent in NSA/CSS data holdings.

- Translate practical mission needs and analytic questions related to large datasets into technical requirements and, conversely, assist others with drawing appropriate conclusions from the analysis of such data.

- Effectively communicate complex technical information to non-technical audiences. Make informed recommendations regarding competing technical solutions by maintaining awareness of the constantly shifting NSA/CSS collection, processing, storage and analytic capabilities and limitations.

What You Must Have

- Bachelor’s Degree with 3 years of relevant experience or an Associates degree with 5 years of relevant experience

- Bachelor’s Degree must be in Mathematics, Applied Mathematics Statistics, Applied Statistics, Machine learning, Data Science, Operations Research, or Computer Science or a degree in a related field (Computer Information Systems, Engineering), a degree in the physical/hard sciences (e.g. physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy), or other science disciplines with a substantial computational component (i.e. behavioral, social, or life) may be considered if it included a concentration of coursework (5 or more courses) in advanced Mathematics (typically 300 level or higher, such as linear algebra, probability and statistics, machine learning) and/or computer science (e.g. algorithms, programming, , data structures, data mining, artificial intelligence). College-level requirements, or upper-level math courses designated as elementary or basic do not count. Note: A broader range of degrees will be considered if accompanied by a Certificate in Data Science from an accredited college/university.
