Description

Responsibilities

• Take ambiguous scientific or business problems and determine the appropriate mathematical or statistical approach
• Work through imperfect real-world datasets to develop defensible quantitative solutions
• Develop and validate statistical and machine-learning models with clear understanding of the underlying reasoning and mathematics
• Assess data sufficiency and appropriateness for problem-solving
• Validate conclusions, models, and results through rigorous experimental design and appropriate performance metrics
• Account for uncertainty, limitations, assumptions, and data quality issues in analytical approaches
• Translate complex technical concepts clearly for both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Independently investigate unfamiliar technical problems and select appropriate methodologies
