Job Description
Data Scientist – RF/Acoustics Signal Processing
Cutsforth Inc.
• Applies data science and machine learning to the analysis of radio frequency and acoustic signals, transforming raw time-series sensor data into actionable diagnostics and predictive insights. • Partners with engineering and domain experts to design and deploy production-grade signal processing and ML solutions across industrial, communications, and defense-adjacent applications. • Operates effectively in ambiguous problem spaces where signal quality, environmental noise, and domain constraints require both technical rigor and adaptive thinking. • Design and develop signal processing pipelines and machine learning models that operate on RF, acoustic, and time-series sensor data, including beamforming, BSS, spectral subtraction, matched filtering, wavelet decomposition, and time-frequency analysis techniques. • Evaluate algorithm performance using both objective metrics and subjective measures, including integration with speech recognition engines where applicable. • Perform exploratory data analysis, feature engineering, and signal feature extraction on raw demodulated RF and acoustic data to surface patterns and anomalies. • Analyze and interpret signals from various electrical asset monitoring systems utilizing RF, acoustic, and signal processing expertise to support fault isolation and anomaly detection. • Use asset monitoring sensor data as measurement to characterize and validate signal data. • Apply data-driven signal processing methods to characterize and isolate faults at the subsystem, component, and LRU level — identifying root causes from spectral, RF, and acoustic sensor data in complex industrial systems. • Contribute to end-to-end ML workflows including data ingestion, model training, inference, and monitoring for drift and degradation in live environments. • Collaborate with engineering, product, and domain SMEs to translate operational challenges into well-scoped data science solutions. • Communicate findings, model performance, and business value clearly through visualizations, written documentation, and presentations to technical and non-technical stakeholders. • Explore and evaluate emerging signal processing and AI techniques, recommending production incorporation where appropriate.
