Data Scientist

Summary

Join the Cyber and Intelligence Team at HII-Mission Technologies and work directly with a team of experts in data science, programming, reverse engineering, and intelligence planning. As a Data Scientist, you will be collaborating with other professionals to develop real-time solutions for our clients at Fort Meade. You will be part of a team that values innovation and collaboration, working together to deliver cutting-edge solutions at the speed of need. This is an exciting opportunity to take your career to the next level and make a real impact.

As part of our Cyber and Intelligence team, you will be engaged in:

• Providing support and related services to the implementation of enterprise data representations in various mission domains
• Perform end-to-end systems engineering for data flows from the perspective of data format modeling, data mapping, and support to implementers and mission customers
• This position requires strong data science expertise from cradle to grave with limited, high-level direction

Our cyber professionals are defining the future of cybersecurity, providing the most effective prevention, detection, and responses to the broad spectrum and constant evolution of threat actors.  Our experts provide actionable, timely intelligence that protects our nation from adversaries’ intent on disrupting our freedoms and harming our nation. Together, we are an integral part of an important mission -- we go to work every day with the knowledge and pride that our accomplishments make a difference!

What you will do

• Employ some combination (2 or more) of the following skill areas:
  • Foundations (mathematical, computational, statistical)
  • 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 dataset 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 we are looking for

• 2 years relevant experience with Bachelors in related field; 0 years experience with Masters in related field; or High School Diploma or equivalent and 6 years relevant experience
• Clearance: Must possess and maintain a TS/SCI with Poly 

Bonus points for...

• Experience in more than one area is strongly preferred:
  • Designing/implementing machine learning
  • Data science
  • Advanced analytical algorithms
  • Programming (skill it at least one high-level language (e.g., Python))
  • Statistical analysis (e.g., variability, sampling error, inference, hypothesis testing, EDA, application of linear models)
  • Data management (e.g., data cleaning and transformation)
  • Data mining
  • Data modeling and assessment
  • Artificial intelligence (and/or software engineering)
