What youll be doing:
As a Data Scientist within Frontier you will lead the data science work on project teams that are configuring our product Frontier for our customers. Each deployment of Frontier requires a computational twin essentially an AIpowered digital twin to be built and it is primarily the responsibility of our data scientists to both design and then build these computational twins.
Whilst doing this well is partly about building familiarity with Frontiers development interfaces its mainly about doing things that are critical in any applied data science role; namely deeply understanding the core customer problem in order to ensure that the technical solution can drive value. In terms of more technical activities the build of a computational twin involves a bunch of tasks common to all data science work such as EDA model building and model evaluation.
In terms of other activities youll do in the role:
Youll be a leader within a crossfunctional delivery team working closely with engineers designers and commercial roles to deliver value to customers. Working closely with the leads of these other functions youll ultimately be responsible for the successful delivery.

An excellent command of the basic libraries for data science (e.g. NumPy Pandas ScikitLearn) and familiarity with a deeplearning framework (e.g. TensorFlow PyTorch Caffe)
A high level of mathematical competence and proficiency in statistics
A solid grasp of essentially all of the standard data science techniques for example supervised/unsupervised machine learning model cross validation Bayesian inference timeseries analysis simple NLP effective SQL database querying or using/writing simple APIs for models. We regard the ability to develop new algorithms when an innovative solution is needed as a fundamental skill
An appreciation for the scientific method as applied to the commercial world; a talent for converting business problems into a mathematical framework; resourcefulness in overcoming difficulties through creativity and commitment; a rigorous mindset in evaluating the performance and impact of models upon deployment
Some commercial experience particularly if this involved clientfacing work or project management; eagerness to work alongside our clients; business awareness and an ability to gauge the commercial value of projects; outstanding written and verbal communication skills; persuasiveness when presenting to a large or important audience
Experience leading a team of data scientists (to deliver innovative work according to a strict timeline) as well as experience in composing a project plan in assessing its technical feasibility and in estimating the time to delivery
A product mindset able to understand the needs of users and to learn how Frontier delivers them value
