Data Scientist and Solutions Engineer

The Opportunity:

As a data scientist, you’re excited at the prospect of unlocking the secrets held by a data set, and you’re fascinated by the possibilities presented by IoT, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. In an increasingly connected world, massive amounts of structured and unstructured data open new opportunities. As a data scientist at Booz Allen, you can turn these complex data sets into useful information to solve global challenges. On our team, you’ll use your leadership skills and data science expertise to create real-world impact. You’ll work closely with clients to understand their questions and needs, and then dig into their data-rich environments to find the pieces of their information puzzle. You’ll guide and mentor your team as you oversee the development of algorithms and systems. You’ll use the right combination of tools and frameworks to turn sets of disparate data points into objective answers to advise your clients as they make informed decisions. Ultimately, you’ll provide a deep understanding of the data, what it all means, and how it can be used.

As a data scientist, you will develop, define, and document as-is design features, target architectures, and transformational roadmaps, provide the vision for how the U.S. Army ecosystem should evolve over time, and conduct trade studies to identify and compare alternative design solutions, as needed. Recommend data solutions to complex or ambiguous client challenges and apply Agile, Cloud Infrastructure, and Software Management expertise in defining the scope and appropriate approaches to new and emerging opportunities.
