Job Description:
The Airbus India Innovation Centre (AIC) is at the forefront of the companys digital transformation particularly within the Innovation and Engineering departments. As we move towards Industrialisation of AI the department focuses on applying Advanced Analytics Machine Learning and Deep Tech to solve critical aerospace challengesranging from generative design and predictive maintenance to autonomous systems.
In this fast-paced environment the Innovation Team acts as an internal incubator for disruptive technologies. Our projects follow a rigorous lifecycle from Proof of Concept (PoC) to full industrial deployment. To support these goals AIC seeks to onboard a Data Scientist to explore ill-defined complex business problems around data using scientific methods and to transform them into insights solutions based on state of the art machine learning AI and statistics with the focus on forward-looking applications. The Data Scientist will work closely with AI lead and Product Managers to ensure data integrity throughout the product life cycle.
Job Description:
Understand and translate business needs into statistical machine learning or AI problem spaces.
Collaborate with IT and Data Analysts to extract and integrate structured and unstructured data from various sources.
Work closely with Data Engineers to design scalable data pipelines and ensure efficient data flow for model training and evaluation.
Analyze data properties and apply scientific methods to propose or develop solutions using statistical machine learning or AI techniques.
Design and execute controlled experiments to identify and validate optimal solutions.
Implement solutions using state-of-the-art algorithms and software engineering best practices.
Create monitoring protocols to ensure models align with evolving business needs.
Contribute to the development and reusability of industrial-grade AI solutions.
Share best practices insights and techniques with the wider data community.
Ensure compliance with all external and internal regulations and standards.
Develop solutions responsibly in line with Airbus ethical AI principles
