About the role
- Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams of environmental engineers, data engineers, and software developers to translate complex environmental problems into scalable data science and machine learning solutions.
- Design, train, and validate machine learning models (supervised, unsupervised, and deep learning) using data from various sources, including high-frequency IoT sensor data, historical records, and geospatial information.
- Lead the end-to-end ML lifecycle, from exploratory data analysis (EDA) and feature engineering to model training, hyperparameter tuning, and deployment.
- Develop and implement MLOps practices to ensure models are scalable, reproducible, and monitored for performance drift in production environments.
- Apply advanced statistical methods and time-series analysis to support demand forecasting, anomaly detection in infrastructure, and predictive maintenance.
- Collaborate with Data Engineers to guide the design of data infrastructure, ensuring that datasets are optimized for analytical modeling and machine learning workloads.
- Stay up to date with emerging technologies, tools, and best practices in AI, Large Language Models (LLMs), and environmental engineering to drive continuous improvement.
Requirements
- Bachelor's in Computer Science, Data Science, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, Engineering, or a related field.
- Minimum of 5 years of experience in data science, machine learning engineering, or advanced analytics in a professional setting.
- Core Programming: High proficiency in Python (pandas, numpy, scikit-learn) and SQL.
- Big Data & Distributed Computing: Hands-on experience with PySpark and distributed training frameworks.
- Experience with Azure platform, DevSecOps, and MLOps, specifically: Azure Machine Learning Studio (managing experiments, model registry, endpoints).
- Azure Databricks and Azure Synapse Analytics.
- Azure Cognitive Services / OpenAI API integration.
- Experience developing functional data processing workflows to transform raw data into reliable input for ML algorithms.
- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work in a collaborative, cross-functional environment.
- Excellent communication skills to interact with technical and non-technical stakeholders, with the ability to explain complex model outputs to engineering leaders.
- A passion for staying updated with the latest trends, tools, and technologies in data science and environmental engineering.
- Preferred Qualifications: Master's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, Engineering, or a related field.
- 8+ years of experience in data science, machine learning engineering, or advanced analytics in a professional setting.
- Solid understanding of ML algorithms (Regression, Clustering, Random Forests, Gradient Boosting, Neural Networks) and statistical concepts.
- Experience with Deep Learning frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch).
- Demonstrated knowledge of software engineering principles, version control (Git), and best practices for writing clean, production-ready code.
- Experience with CI/CD for ML (e.g., GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps).
- Experience with streaming data processing and time-series forecasting, particularly for IoT and edge compute applications.
- Knowledge of geospatial data processing and analysis (GIS, GeoPandas).
