Data Scientist

About the Role

A range of specialisms exist in this essential and rewarding role. We need to store, manage, manipulate, visualise, and analyse mission critical data in our Cyber domain.

You may specialise in just one area or operate across multiple Data Science disciplines.

Typically, the candidate will be involved in one or more of the following:

• Develop data flows, standardise, and pre-process vast quantities of data.
• Develop, finetune and maintain Machine Learning models.
• Produce data visualisations that provide insight into dataset structure and meaning.
• Team with subject matter experts (SMEs) to identify important information in raw data.
• Develop scripts that extract information from a variety of data sources and formats.
• Translate customer requirements into software prototypes.
• Adopting AI techniques to improve productivity and reduce analyst workload.
• Develop and implement statistical, machine learning, and heuristic techniques to create descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analytics.
• Develop statistical tests to make data-driven recommendations and decisions.
• Develop experiments to collect data or models to simulate data when required data are unavailable.
• Develop feature vectors for input into machine learning algorithms.
• Identify the most appropriate algorithm for a given dataset and tune input and model.
• Evaluate and validate the performance of analytics using standard techniques.

The position will typically be full-time, within the existing team delivering cutting edge solutions for both customer and Lockheed Martin enterprises.

We have a range of roles from Early Careers to senior leaders in their field.

More senior staff will have the opportunity to lead on activities, to mentor others, utilise their technical expertise and typically have general knowledge of other related disciplines.
