Data Scientist

The Data Scientist makes predictive insights and builds decision-support tools from operational and performance data, combining hands-on data science (statistical modeling and machine learning) with ownership of industrial analytics stack. The Data Scientist serves as a PI System Administrator, Seeq Developer, and builder of AI-enabled tools that help engineers and operators act faster and with confidence.

The Data Scientist will work with industrial data systems—especially the PI System (OSIsoft PI / AVEVA PI)—to ensure reliable data availability and governed context and will develop Seeq analyses and Python-based pipelines for time-series modeling, anomaly detection, forecasting, and performance monitoring.With curiosity, rigor and comfort with large time-series datasets the Data Scientist is able to take solutions end-to-end—from PI tag and context configuration, to Seeq development, to Python/AI tool deployment—while collaborating with cross-functional technical teams.
