Data Scientist/Process Automation Analyst

Sigmatech is seeking a Data Scientist/Process Automation Analyst to join our team in Colorado Springs, CO. The successful candidate will:

1. Develop, analyze, and model operational objectives across multiple domains. Recommend solutions to new and complex problems; develop innovative strategies; quantify the performance of organizational operations; evaluate the potential impact of changes; and communicate forecasts and findings that affect the organization.

2. Conduct feasibility research for prospective solutions and provide subject-matter expertise on limiting factors, tradeoffs, and the art of the possible. Ensure research, analytical, and design methodologies meet applicable scientific and analytic standards. This role requires both depth and breadth of knowledge across data, analytics, automation, visualization, and operational decision-support platforms.

3. Solve complex and evolving problem sets that may require acquiring new skills, apply new perspectives, and adapt analytical approaches. Success in achieving senior-leader objectives depends on flexibility, curiosity, sound judgment, and continuous learning.

4. Work independently, with guidance provided only in the most complex situations. Directly contribute to customer focus, operational impact, project success, and service-level objectives. Regularly collaborate with, and may advise, multidisciplinary and multifunctional teams.

Responsibilities:
Understand customer requirements, adjust analytical efforts to meet those requirements, and communicate findings clearly to technical and nontechnical stakeholders.
Develop and implement decision-support models to address problems across multiple domains.
Coordinate with senior managers, decision-makers, government personnel, and contractor teammates to identify problems, clarify management objectives, and develop actionable solutions.
Develop, maintain, and improve data pipelines, analytical workflows, dashboards, applications, and automations that support operational decision-making.
Identify opportunities to optimize recurring tasks and business processes through computer automation, low-code/no-code development, scripting, and integration of data sources.
Support development and sustainment of Microsoft Power Platform solutions, including Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, Power Pages, Copilot Studio, Dataverse, AI Builder, connectors, Power Fx, DAX, governance, security, and application lifecycle management practices.
Support analysis, application development, data integration, workflow automation, visualization, and operational decision-support efforts using Palantir products and platform capabilities, particularly Palantir Foundry and, where mission-relevant, AIP, Apollo, Gotham, or associated Palantir offerings.
Research the feasibility of prospective solutions; identify assumptions, limitations, dependencies, risks, and implementation considerations; and provide recommendations on the art of the possible.
Work as part of a contractor team alongside a broader team of government and contract staff.
Remain adaptable in a dynamic environment by learning new tools, methods, and mission-domain concepts as requirements evolve.
