Job Description
The Leidos Innovation Center (LInC) Information and Data Sciences Division has an opening for a Data Scientist with experience developing ML technologies that yield novel innovative capabilities while advancing the state of the art particular experience and application of graph modeling and development is a requirement for this role.
The candidate will support contract R&D and internal R&D programs working with teams of researchers and engineers in the development adaptation and extension of innovative ML-based approaches and solutions across a range of technical areas and application domains. The candidate will process diverse and disparate types of data of high complexity and for projects that are both fundamental and applied in nature. The innovative technical solutions will advance the state of the art in machine learning and/or artificial intelligence while addressing long-term problems of importance to national security. As such preferred candidates will have experience executing advanced research and development efforts and working with high-performing teams on software-based solutions for customers such as DARPA DTRA and other branches of the Department of Defense.
Primary Responsibilities
- Contribute to complex data-driven development projects involving diverse data types using modern ML architectures
- Research and solution state of the art graph-based models and apply these efforts to various types of data
- Implement sophisticated feature extraction techniques from complex high-dimensional datasets
- Develop and utilize MLOps pipelines to develop/train/test/validate/deploy ML models
- Work with teams of other data scientists research scientists and engineers using an Agile development approach
- Formulate prototype implement and test existing state-of-the-art as well as novel ML algorithms to solve customer problems
- Contribute to the generation of competitively sourced proposals for contract R&D projects
