  • Develop statistical and machine learning models to solve complex problems with data of varying structures
  • Manage and mentor other data scientists on technical skills and paths for career growth 
  • Conduct research on specific health and physiological problems and integrate clinical research into the development of algorithms
  • Work within Quality Management System framework, creating system requirements for development and robust documentation of model architecture and training processes
  • Collaborate with software and regulatory teams to design and implement testing frameworks for SaMD features
  • Periodically serve as the on-call data scientist to respond in real time to incidents affecting production services
  • Reports to the Director of Data Science for Health, Sleep & Research

QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Bachelor's Degree in Statistics, Data Science, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science or a related field. Master’s or PhD preferred.
  • 5+ years of full-time professional experience in a related area, applying advanced mathematical and statistical techniques
  • Experience working on SaMD applications, including defining and implementing software requirements, documenting training processes, and developing within a quality management system
  • Experience deploying services and maintaining live code through logging and monitoring within a production environment
  • Strong python programming skills and substantial experience with scientific python packages
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills
  • Prior management or mentorship experience is preferred
  • Experience working with processed physiological time series data such as that from PPG, ECG, or EEG sensors is a plus
