You’ve spent enough time working with data to know that a result can look right and still deserve a closer look. You trace it back, examine the assumptions, and work through the details until you understand what the evidence supports. The value you bring is in that judgement, and in helping others understand what you’ve found.
This is an exciting chance to join us as a Senior Data Scientist to support the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency’s (NGA) Maven program, supporting imagery acquisition, imagery curation, and data transformation within its model development process. Your work will help shape the data that models learn from. Before imagery can serve that purpose, it needs to be understood and prepared. Information from different sources must be brought together, inconsistencies investigated, and understanding of what could be lost or changed along the way. You’ll help make those decisions. Through programming, quantitative analysis, and visualization, you’ll turn complex information into usable data and findings that team can build on. In this role, you’ll bring together data science, software development, and analytic judgement to work through complex datasets. You’ll move across geospatial formats, JSON, XML, and other file types, using Python and quantitative methods to clean, transform, analyze, and interpret information. Your work will help establish the data foundation that model development depends on. Your contribution will help the team move forward with a clearer understanding of its data and the limitations that need attention!
If you’re ready to bring your experience to work that helps shape what comes next for NGA’s Maven program, send your resume directly to Lanchi Lai, (Lanchi.Lai@xts-inc.com).
