Hybrid Data Scientist chez MANTECH

MANTECH seeks a motivated, career- and customer-oriented Journeyman Data Scientist to join our innovative team in Ashburn, VA. This is a hybrid position with 2 days onsite and 3 days remote. Each day U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) oversees the massive flow of people, capital, and products that enter and depart the United States via air, land, sea, and cyberspace. The volume and complexity of both physical and virtual border crossings require the application of “big data” solutions to promote efficient trade and travel. These solutions provide CBP personnel with additional tools to evaluate potential threats from legitimate trade and travel. Responsibilities include but are not limited to:Perform hands-on analysis and modeling involving the creation of intervention hypotheses and experiments, assessment of data needs and available sources, determination of optimal analytical approaches, performance of exploratory data analysis, and feature generation (e.g., identification, derivation, aggregation).Demonstrate proficiency in extracting, cleaning, and transforming CBP transactional and mission data associated within an identified problem space to build predictive models as well as develop appropriate supporting documentation.Leverage knowledge of a variety of statistical and machine learning techniques and methods to define and develop programming algorithms; train, evaluate, and deploy predictive analytics models that directly inform mission decisions.Execute projects including those intended to identify patterns and/or anomalies in large datasets; perform automated text/data classification and categorization as well as entity recognition, resolution and extraction; and named entity matching. Minimum Qualifications:HS Diploma/GED and 6-15 years or AS/AA and 4-13 years or BS/BA and 2-7 years or MS/MA/MBA and 0-5 years or PhD/Doctorate and 0-3 yearsExperience in developing machine learning models and applying advanced analytics solutions to solve complex business problemsExperience with programming languages including: R, Python, Scala, Java.Experience with SQL programmingExperience constructing and executing queries to extract data in support of EDA and model developmentExperience with unsupervised and supervised machine learning techniques and methodsExperience performing data mining, analysis, and training set constructionPreferred QualificationsProficiency with statistical software packages including SAS, SPSS Modeler, R, WEKA, or equivalentProficiency with Unsupervised Machine Learning methods including Cluster Analysis (e.g., K-means, K-nearest Neighbor, Hierarchical, Deep Belief Networks, Principal Component Analysis), Segmentation, etc.Proficiency with Supervised Machine Learning methods including Decision Trees, Support Vector Machines, Logistic Regression, Random/Rotation Forests, Categorization/Classification, Neural Nets, Bayesian Networks, etc.Experience with pattern recognition and extraction, automated classification, and categorization and with entity resolution (e.g., record linking, named entity matching, deduplication/ disambiguation)Experience with visualization tools and techniques (e.g., Periscope, Business Objects, D3, Tableau, SAS Visual Analytics, PowerBI)Experience with big data technologies (e.g., Hadoop, HIVE, HDFS, HBase, MapReduce, Spark, Kafka, Sqoop) Clearance Requirements:Must be a U.S. citizen with the ability to obtain DHS CBP suitability prior to starting this position.  Physical Requirements:The person in this position needs to occasionally move about inside the office to access file cabinets, office machinery, or to communicate with co-workers, management, and customers, which may involve delivering presentations.
