Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Collaborate with stakeholders to translate complex business problems into testable hypotheses and end-to-end data science solutions. Develop scalable product features from customer insights and perform advanced statistical analyses on operational data.
Requires fluency in analytics languages like Python or SQL and the ability to travel up to 40% within the US. A postgraduate degree in Data Science and experience in defense, aerospace, or cybersecurity is preferred.
Shift5 is building the data platform for onboard operational technology (OT). We deliver cybersecurity, predictive maintenance, and compliance capabilities that enable defense and commercial fleets to operate with greater readiness, resilience, and mission assurance.
Shift5 is seeking an Applied Data Scientist to join our growing Data Science team. In this role, your primary responsibility will be to collaborate with customers and internal stakeholders to discover critical insights, deconstruct complex business problems into testable hypotheses, and build end-to-end data science solutions that scale back into Shift5’s core product line.
Product Generalization: Take one-off customer insights and solutions and build them back into the broader, deployable suite of Shift5 core products.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with embedded analysts, deployment strategists, and forward-deployed engineers to translate complex analyses into immediate customer value.
Advanced Data Analysis: Perform complex statistical analyses to push the envelope, interpret trends, and break new ground in leveraging operational data for diagnosis and prediction.
System Optimization: Work closely with programmers, engineers, and leadership to identify process improvements, propose system modifications, and devise long-term data strategies.
You maintain a "no task too small" mindset, successfully managing multiple engagements simultaneously while staying focused on scalable solutions.
You efficiently break down unstructured, highly ambiguous problems into smaller, manageable parts and execute them independently.
Communication & Mindset: Excellent communication skills with a track record of translating highly technical information for non-technical audiences. A humble, receptive attitude toward feedback.
Logistics: Ability and willingness to travel up to 40% of the time (US only).
Preferred Experience: Experience with time-series data, and a background/education blend (ideally a Master's or Doctorate program) in Data Science. Industry experience in defense, aerospace, or cybersecurity is a major plus.
