Senior Data Scientist – Industrial Focus
Cutsforth Inc.
• Design, develop, train, and deploy machine learning and AI models that process and analyze field equipment sensor data (time-series IoT, embedded device telemetry) alongside structured and unstructured datasets. • Build and refine predictive, prescriptive, and anomaly detection models using techniques such as regression, time-series forecasting, classification, clustering, and deep learning to support real-time or near-real-time decision-making. • Perform exploratory data analysis (EDA), data preprocessing, feature engineering/signal processing, and feature extraction on high-volume, noisy sensor data and multimodal datasets to surface patterns, correlations, and actionable insights. • Contribute to end-to-end AI workflows, including automated data ingestion, model training pipelines, inference at the edge or in the cloud, and continuous monitoring for model drift and performance degradation. • Apply statistical modeling, hypothesis testing, and experimentation methods (A/B testing, causal inference where applicable) to validate model performance and ensure robustness in dynamic operational environments. • Support the development and maintenance of reproducible, scalable ML pipelines using MLOps best practices, including model versioning, retraining, deployment (including edge/embedded constraints), and lifecycle management. • Collaborate with engineering, product, and domain experts to translate business problems (e.g., predictive maintenance, fault detection, process optimization) into well-defined data science solutions. • Perform data cleansing, validation, and collation activities to ensure models are accurate, reliable, and aligned with real-world operating conditions. • Solve complex technical challenges related to analytical toolsets that support engineering and operational decision-making. • Communicate technical findings, model performance metrics, and business value to internal stakeholders through clear visualizations, written reports, and presentations. • Explore and evaluate emerging techniques (e.g., generative AI for synthetic sensor data, edge AI optimization, multimodal data fusion) and recommend incorporation into production workflows where appropriate. • Assist in formulating and managing data-driven project requirements aligned with business needs and strategic company goals. • Provide subject matter input on analytical tools and methods to cross-functional product development teams. • Work with software and business development teams to support revenue opportunities tied to data science initiatives and product/service enhancements. • Support internal resources involved in research, product development, and ongoing production of data analytics deliverables.
