Data Scientist

Data Scientist (NH-1560-03) to work at USSTRATCOM / Offutt AFB, NE. Design and build the database schemas, pipelines, and hosting environments required to securely house, integrate, and organize multi-source spectrum data within a Top Secret/SCI environment. Apply data science techniques (such as statistical analysis, anomaly detection, and predictive modeling) to raw signal, parametric, and sensor datasets to uncover trends in spectrum congestion and adversary activities. Translate highly complex spectrum data into concise, visual, and intuitive dashboards or brief-ready reports that provide senior military leaders with immediate, decision-quality battlespace awareness. DUTIES: Architects, leads, and executes complex data science initiatives analyzing high-volume, multi-source Electromagnetic Spectrum (EMS) datasets. Researches, designs, and rapid-prototypes advanced analytical methodologies and AI-driven tools to fuse disparate intelligence feeds (SIGINT, ELINT, and operational spectrum logs). Serves as the principal data science advisor to USSTRATCOM JEMSO Center (JEC) leadership, advising on the integration of Artificial Intelligence and emerging spectrum management technologies. Salary: $76,463 - $118,204 (without locality) No remote or telework authorized No travel Permanent position 1-2 years desired experience Recruitment & Relocation incentives may be available QUALIFICATIONS: U.S. Citizenship required. Required to handle and safeguard sensitive and/or classified information in accordance with regulations to reduce potential compromise. Position is designated special-sensitive and requires a TOP SECRET (TS) security clearance with eligibility for access to Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI), other intelligence-related Special Sensitive information, or involvement in Top Secret Special Access Programs (SAP) to fully perform the duties and responsibilities of the position. A non-disclosure agreement must be signed. Employee must be able to obtain and maintain a Top-Secret w/SCI clearance. This position is designated as a Testing Designated Position (TDP) under the Air Force Civilian Drug Testing Program. Illegal drug use by employees in sensitive positions present a clear threat to the mission of the Air Force, national security, and public safety. It is required that you (a) refrain from the use of illegal drugs and (b) if requested, submit to urinalysis testing. KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, ABILITIES: Knowledge of data science principles, statistical methods, and machine-learning techniques sufficient to clean, structure, analyze, and interpret large, multi-source datasets. This includes working knowledge of classification, clustering, anomaly detection, regression, predictive modeling, and model-performance evaluation. Knowledge of electromagnetic spectrum operations, and signal-data concepts sufficient to understand the characteristics, limitations, and operational relevance of EMS, Electronic Intelligence (ELINT), signal parametric, spectrum-monitoring, and interference data. Skill in using programming languages, data-analysis tools, and data-management technologies to develop repeatable analytical workflows, process structured and unstructured data, automate routine analysis, and produce reliable analytical outputs. Examples may include Python, SQL, data-transformation tools, version control, and data visualization platforms. Skill in applying analytical and problem-solving methods to identify patterns, trends, anomalies, and relationships in complex datasets; assess data quality and limitations; and distinguish meaningful findings from incomplete, conflicting, or noisy information. Ability to develop and maintain data visualizations, dashboards, and analytical products that communicate complex technical findings clearly to technical personnel, planners, and senior leaders. This includes the ability to present spatial, temporal, and relational data in formats that support operational understanding and decision-making.
