Career development opportunities, including on-the-job training, tuition reimbursement, and networking.

A positive work environment where employees are respected, supported, and engaged.

Description:

Conducts data analytics, data engineering, data mining, exploratory analysis, predictive analysis, and statistical analysis, and uses scientific techniques to correlate data into graphical, written, visual and verbal narrative products, enabling more informed analytic decisions.

Proactively retrieves information from various sources, analyzes it for better understanding about the data set, and builds AI tools that automate certain processes.

Duties typically include creating various ML-based tools or processes, such as recommendation engines or automated lead scoring systems.

Performs statistical analysis, applies data mining techniques, and builds high quality prediction systems.

Should be skilled in data visualization and use of graphical applications, including Microsoft Office (Power BI) and Tableau; major data science languages, such as R and Python; managing and merging of disparate data sources, preferably through R, Python, or SQL; statistical analysis; and data mining algorithms.

Should have prior experience with large data Multi-INT analytics, ML, and automated predictive analytics.

Possesses a professional or graduate certificate in data science from a university, major online learning platform (all business for Data Scientists at any experience level).

Specific OBI duties:

Designs, develops, and evaluates leading-edge algorithmic intelligence concepts, practices, and technologies for implementation into all-source analysis tradecraft, assessments, production, and dissemination.

Proposes advanced statistical or mathematical techniques and methodology that may permit identification and evaluation of alternatives, assists in model formulation or experimental test design, and shares jointly in team responsibility for development of advanced analytic techniques and assessments.

Evaluates data science, Al, and other advanced analytic methods for risks, biases, and limitations that would distort conclusions.

Conducts continuous independent research on analytical methods used in government, industry, and academia to stay abreast of state-of-the-art advancements, and keeps senior leadership informed of relevant developments and their applicability to ongoing programs.

Utilizes in-depth knowledge of relevant theories, techniques, procedures and processes to investigate, prototype, and evaluate technologies to improve all-source intelligence analysis.

Provides technical input into and participates in the development of software and computer graphics systems.

Performs research studies to understand the process of augmenting or automating all source analytic processes using various computer models.

Provides incremental enhancements to tools, capabilities, processes, and methods.

Possesses in-depth knowledge and experience in using data analytics, data engineering, data mining, exploratory analysis, predictive analysis, and statistical analysis, and scientific techniques to correlate data into graphical, written, visual and verbal narrative products, enabling more informed analytic decisions.

Writes either R or Python scripts to drive data science workflows, have experience using SQL, and managing and merging of disparate data sources, preferably through R, Python, or SQL; statistical analysis; and data mining algorithms.

Possesses prior experience with large data, spatial data, multi-INT analytics, ML, and automated predictive analytics.

Works with ambiguous information, deconstruct key questions, leverage spatial data, exploit application programming interfaces, suggest methodologies, develop data schemas to structure observations.

This requires working knowledge of coding and scripting, information science, mathematics, ML, visual analytic modeling tools, and relevant Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to create repeatable, widely applicable procedures to support all-source intelligence analysis and production.

Creates and works in distributed analytic environments, scaling algorithms to work on increasingly large and complex datasets that are larger than RAM.

Serves as the primary POC for data science expertise, ensuring tradecraft compliance and analytic standards as it relates to data science techniques on the contract.

Provides advice on emerging data science methods, tools, algorithms, training, or requirements to advance DIA's analytic edge in its use of data science.

Works with DIA vendors and software developers to implement distributed algorithms to work on increasingly large and complex data sets.

Review and evaluate OBI documentation submitted by advanced analytic (AA) owners to ensure compliance with tradecraft standards and adherence to best practices in Al system development and deployment.
