  • 1–3 years of data science, data analytics, research analytics, BI, or machine learning project experience.

  • Hands-on Python experience using pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, matplotlib, spaCy, Keras, or similar libraries.

  • R experience using tidyverse, tidymodels, ggplot2, Shiny, or equivalent packages.

  • SQL experience for querying, joining, filtering, and preparing datasets.

  • Tableau, Power BI, R Shiny, or similar dashboard/data visualization experience.

  • Ability to inspect model errors, validate outputs, and communicate improvement opportunities.

  • Strong Excel and Microsoft Office skills.

  • Ability to explain technical findings to non-technical stakeholders.

  • U.S. citizenship and ability to obtain required federal suitability/clearance.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience building client-facing dashboards or interactive data applications.

  • Experience with BERT, NLP, unstructured text, topic segmentation, or terminology data.

  • Familiarity with data governance, data privacy, PII handling, CUI, or secure data environments.

  • AWS, Git, Jupyter Notebook, or cloud analytics exposure.
