Job Level

About the role

  • Analyze and model large-scale broadband telemetry and time-series data used by Calix cloud, including throughput, latency, packet loss, utilization, and device-level metrics, and many more.
  • Develop and validate ML models for Upsell, cross-sell, churn prevention, customer acquisition, anomaly detection, performance forecasting, fault classification, and capacity prediction that drive proactive network insights.
  • Build features and models supporting network health scoring, service quality monitoring, and subscriber Quality of Experience (QoE) analytics.
  • Apply advanced techniques such as time-series modeling, change-point detection, and probabilistic modeling to real-world broadband data.
  • Collaborate with data engineering and platform teams to develop and integrate models into Calix Cloud’s cloud-native analytics pipelines.
  • Perform EDA, feature engineering, and data preprocessing for scalable, production pipelines.
  • Help scale analytics and ML solutions across millions of access devices, subscriber endpoints, and Wi-Fi environments.
  • Design experiments and evaluate the business and operational impact of analytics on network performance and subscriber experience.
  • Build scalable ML pipelines and deploy models into production environments.
  • Communicate insights clearly to product, engineering, and customer-facing teams via dashboards, reports, and presentations.
  • Translate ambiguous product and operational problems into well-defined data science and ML solutions.
  • Follow best practices in model lifecycle management, including versioning, validation, and deployment monitoring.

Requirements

  • PhD (completed or near completion) in Data Science, Computer Science, or related degree.
  • Strong foundation in statistics, probability, and linear algebra.
  • Experience working with large-scale time-series and telemetry datasets typical of broadband analytics.
  • Hands-on experience with ML techniques, including: Regression and classification, Clustering and dimensionality reduction, Time-series analysis and forecasting, Anomaly detection and change-point detection.
  • Experience with model evaluation, validation methods, and performance metrics.
  • Strong programming skills in Python and familiarity with ML libraries: NumPy, pandas, SciPy, scikit-learn.
  • Strong SQL skills for large-scale data analysis.
  • Ability to write clean, maintainable, and testable code.
  • Experience with data preprocessing, feature engineering, and exploratory data analysis (EDA).
  • Experience in analyzing broadband network and service telemetry.
  • Ability to work with metrics such as latency, throughput, packet loss, utilization, and device-level signals.
  • Understanding of noisy, incomplete, and delayed data common in broadband environments.
  • Ability to reason about data across devices, subscribers, locations, and time windows.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to translate ambiguous product or network problems into analytical solutions.
  • Clear written and verbal communication skills.
  • Experience presenting insights through charts, dashboards, and reports.
