ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Data Scientist in Automation and performance require 5 to 10 years' experience working with GIMS data, Automated collection modeling, Collection Orchestration, creating solutions in python and conducting data analysis. These positions are demanding and require a deep understanding of Source Operations, GIMS and the various capabilities used within Source Operations. Applicants need to develop and apply methods to identify, collect, process, and analyze large volumes of data to build and enhance products and services. Apply advanced mathematical, statistical, and scientific techniques and principles (e.g., probabilistic modeling, machine learning, computer vision, natural language processing) to examine complex problems and create insights from data. Interpret diverse data sources, conduct data mining and retrieval, develop scripts and algorithms, and use a range of tools (e.g., coding languages, visualization software, GIS) to perform their work and communicate their findings. Translate intelligence or business problems into actionable data models and document and share repeatable studies, analysis, and products, as well as continually refine solutions. Data Scientists also manage data projects or teams, including collaborating with other data and IT subject matter experts to ensure the design and development of data-oriented products and services, such as data flow pipelines and applications.Additional Application Requirement: You may be asked to complete one or more assessments in addition to the application you submit on this website as part of your application to NGA.
