Job description

Data Scientist

The Opportunity:

Are you excited at the prospect of unlocking the secrets held by a data set? Are you fascinated by the possibilities presented by the IoT, machine learning and artificial intelligence advances? In an increasingly connected world, massive amounts of structured and unstructured data open up new opportunities. As a data scientist, you can turn these complex data sets into useful information to solve global challenges. Across private and public sectors from fraud detection to cancer research, to national intelligence, you know the answers are in the data.

We have an opportunity for you to use your analytical skills to improve aerospace mission solutions. We are a cross-functional team of data scientists, data engineers, modelers, and web developers who analyze elegant solutions to complex data problems. You’ll work closely with your customer to understand their unique problems and constraints, and then dig into their data-rich environment to find the pieces of their information puzzle. You’ll analyze novel optimization algorithms, write scripts, build predictive analytics, automate processes, apply machine learning techniques, and use the right combination of tools and frameworks to turn that set of disparate data points into objective answers to help military leadership make informed decisions. You’ll provide your customer with a deep understanding of their data, what it all means, and how they can use it to solve their challenges. Join us as we use data science for good in aerospace and defense.

Join us. The world can’t wait.

You Have:

  • 2+ year of experience in engineering, science, or data science
  • Experience with scripting and programming, including R, Python, SQL, Javascript, Matlab, or Ruby

How Openbound evaluates sponsorship

Visa history uses official U.S. Department of Labor H-1B LCA disclosure data and USCIS H-1B petition history. Green card history uses DOL PERM disclosure data. Each is read for the employer as a whole, for roles like this one, and for this location, weighted toward the most recent fiscal years.

An employer is matched to its filing entities by verified legal name and reviewed aliases; a match is never made on a name resemblance alone. Where no verified entity can be matched, the page says so and draws no conclusion from the absence. 24 filing titles were examined for this employer.

What this posting states outranks history in both directions, and an employer's published policy outranks past filings. Filing history reflects past behavior; it is not a promise of sponsorship for this opening, and none of this is legal advice.
