Senior Data Scientist

Job description

Opportunity The Role: We’re looking for a Senior Data Scientist with strong skills in simulation modeling, mathematical optimization, and sensor data analysis . This is a hands-on, high-impact role where you will develop analytical solutions for real-world defense scenarios — from optimizing aircraft maintenance schedules to analyzing live sensor data from naval vessels. You’ll be joining a cross-functional team that builds scalable, data-driven products supporting mission readiness and capability management. If you enjoy combining discrete-event simulation , CPLEX optimization , and sensor analytics to answer hard operational questions, this job will suit you well. Meaningful Work in a Mission Driven Environment Key Responsibilities: Simulation Modeling - Design and develop discrete-event simulations using SimPy (or similar) to model logistics chains, maintenance workflows, and operational bottlenecks. - Build simulation components that reflect real-world systems, allowing for stress testing and what-if scenarios. Optimization (CPLEX): - Build and solve optimization models using IBM CPLEX . - Translate complex operational needs — such as scheduling, resource allocation, or plannin...
