Job Description

Data Scientist – Predictive Maintenance

Cutsforth Inc.

• Applies data science and machine learning to the analysis of electrical, vibration, and acoustic signals, transforming raw time-series sensor data into actionable diagnostics and predictive insights for rotating industrial equipment. • Partners with engineering and domain experts to design and deploy production-grade signal processing and ML solutions for predictive maintenance across industrial 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 electrical (current/voltage), vibration, and acoustic time-series sensor data, including symmetrical component analysis, 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 electrical, vibration, and acoustic data to surface fault patterns and anomalies. • Analyze and interpret signals from electrical asset monitoring systems (motors, generators, pumps) utilizing electrical signature analysis, vibration analysis, and signal processing expertise to support fault isolation and anomaly detection. • Use cross-sensor asset monitoring data (temperature, speed, load) to characterize and validate signal-derived diagnostics. • Apply data-driven signal processing methods to characterize and isolate faults at the subsystem, component, and machine level, identifying root causes from spectral, electrical, and vibration sensor data in rotating industrial equipment. • 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.

Job Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, Applied Mathematics, Acoustical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related engineering discipline required.
  • 5+ years of professional experience in data science, machine learning, or applied signal processing, with demonstrated work on electrical, current/voltage, or industrial sensor signal data.
  • Direct industry experience in one or more of: Industrial/Rotating Equipment, Power Systems, Electrical Machine Diagnostics, or Condition Monitoring.
  • Hands-on experience with time-series and signal processing techniques, including spectral analysis, filtering, and feature extraction from raw sensor data.
  • Proficiency in Python, including scientific computing libraries (NumPy, SciPy, pandas) and ML frameworks (scikit-learn, PyTorch, or TensorFlow).
  • Familiarity with electrical measurement and analysis workflows (e.g., current/voltage waveform capture, power quality analyzers, or equivalent instrumentation).
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the capacity to work through ambiguous or data-sparse problem spaces.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills; ability to present technical findings to non-technical audiences.

Benefits

  • Paid Time Off
  • Medical, Vision, Dental Insurance
  • Health Savings Account with Employer contributions
  • 401(k) with Employer match
  • Short-term & Long-term Disability Coverage
  • Accidental Death & Dismemberment Coverage
