Sr Data Scientist

Sr Data Scientist

Apply the appropriate data science or analytical methods to extract knowledge and insights from data, which may take the form of time-series (power plant equipment data, environmental data or other), structured (relational data stores), and unstructured (text and multi-media) data sets. Closely collaborate with various internal stakeholders, information architects, data engineers, project/program managers, and other teams to turn data into critical information to inform decision making. This requires understanding business needs, providing and receiving regular feedback, and planning the proper transfer of developed solutions. Mine big and small data for insights, using advanced statistic and machine learning methods. Validate findings with the business by sharing analysis outputs in a way that can be understood by business stakeholders. Fill role of a subject matter expert in the areas of artificial intelligence, machine learning, feature engineering, data mining, and data manipulation/storage. Demonstrate commitment to continuous learning and professional development in technical subject matter. Share knowledge with team members, and business stakeholders, and IT partners. Collect, cleanse, standardize and analyze data from a variety of internal and external sources. Produce novel insights to help inform business actions using statistical modeling and machine learning techniques on complex data-sets on the order of several terabytes or petabytes.

Primary Duties And Accountabilities
