Your Job The Data Scientist will own the data backbone of our Azure-based AI/ML engineering platform. They will be turning historical design and simulation results into clean, structured datasets, and statistically validating that the AI/ML models built on top of them can be trusted before they inform design decisions.
What You Will Do - Build and maintain ETL pipelines (Azure Data Factory / Azure Databricks) that structure engineering design parameters and simulation results for ML use.
- Run statistical and exploratory analysis to identify which design parameters most strongly drive performance outcomes.
- Validate model outputs against ground-truth simulation results, and flag data quality issues that could bias downstream models.
- Track model and pipeline performance over time; build Power BI dashboards giving engineering teams visibility into data and model health.
- Apply DOE (design of experiments) principles to help sample the design space efficiently rather than exhaustively.
Who You Are (Basic Qualifications) - Hands-on experience building and validating AI/ML models - not just data prep or descriptive analytics.
- 10+ years in a data science role, ideally with engineering, simulation, or scientific/experimental data.
- Strong Python (pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn) and SQL.
- Comfortable with Azure data tools (Azure Data Factory, Azure Databricks, Azure Synapse) or an equivalent cloud data stack.
- Solid statistics grounding: hypothesis testing, regression, DOE, variance/sensitivity analysis.
- Experience with data visualization/dashboarding tools (Power BI or similar).
What Will Put You Ahead - Signal integrity or RF/high-speed electronics knowledge.
- Experience validating ML model outputs (drift detection, error analysis) in a cloud ML platform.
- Familiarity with CAD/engineering design data or PLM systems.
- Experience working alongside ML engineering teams on shared cloud data infrastructure.
