DUTIES
Perform multiple, varying, and complex assignments under the minimal direction of a manager, project/program manager, team leader, or more experienced technical specialist. May act as principal technical specialist, a project manager, or a team leader for large work activities.
The Data Scientist serves as a principle technical specialist, who applies professional knowledge of the domains of data engineering, computer programming (e.g. R, Python, SQL), statistical/mathematical modeling, machine learning algorithms using R and Python, and data visualization techniques and software to communicate findings and provide guidance and instructions to policymakers and nontechnical audiences.
Provides expert analytical support on a multi-functional team responsible for conducting historical and predictive analyses, developing metrics, and integrating products and work activities that directly impact objectives of the Flight Standards Service. Utilizes advanced analytical techniques, data mining, statistical analysis and mathematical modeling in the development of solutions to enhance risk based, data supported decision making processes.
Serves as a subject matter expert (SME) responsible for the planning, design, development and application of data and statistical models and methodologies for analyzing components of the aviation system and aviation safety data using advanced technologies involving large data sets.
Provides solutions to problems by testing hypothesis, training Machine Learning models to recognize patterns, discovering relationships in data and making predictions about data.
Provides guidance on how to solve difficult technical issues. Resolves all but unique technical problems without the intervention of management or a more experienced technical specialist. Interacts with other analysts such as Operations Research Analysts (ORA) to understand business processes, gather requirements, develop analysis methodologies, and coordinate ongoing iterative development of data products. Work may include data retrieval, preparation and analysis involving sensitive areas of aviation safety, personnel and resources, budget, or other related study areas.
