Our team is empowering customers worldwide.\nThe OpportunityAURA Technologies is seeking a Senior Data Scientist (USA-Remote) to design, build, and ship machine learning systems for various AI/ML applications across our portfolio (defense and commercial sector). This is a hands-on role for someone who has experience with the full data science lifecycle, having taken models from raw data to production (and has ideally sustained them after deployment). You will work alongside a team of data scientists and engineers to frame problems, evaluate what is feasible, and deliver systems that are performant under real-world conditions.\nWe're looking for breadth as well as depth. The problems we work on cross data types, so we want someone who has done meaningful work in more than one data domain. They should be comfortable applying techniques from different toolkits as a given problem demands.\nDue to Department of Defense contract requirements, candidates must be U.S. Citizens to be considered for this position.\nWhat you'll do\nOwn data science projects from end to end: problem framing, data acquisition, modeling, evaluation, deployment, and monitoring.\n\nBuild and improve production ML pipelines in partnership with engineering, including data collection, feature development, automated testing, and deployment.\n\nTranslate broad research objectives into well-scoped, defined problems and devise experiments to test and develop potential solutions to them.\n\nMonitor deployed models for drift and degradation and drive the retraining or redesign work that follows.\n\nMentor junior data scientists through code review, design discussion, and pairing.\n\nCommunicate methods and results to technical and non-technical audiences, including customers and leadership.\n\nMinimum qualifications\nDue to Department of Defense contract requirements, candidates must be U.S. Citizens to be considered for this position.\n\n5+ years of professional experience as a data scientist, machine learning engineer, or equivalent applied research role.\n\nSubstantive experience working with at least two distinct data domains — e.g., computer vision, time-series, geospatial, NLP, tabular/structured, graph, signal processing, or audio. We're looking for real project depth in each, not coursework exposure.\n\nExperience working on a team that owned a full ML pipeline: data collection and labeling, feature and model development, testing, deployment, and post-deployment monitoring.\n\nStrong programming skills in Python and its scientific stack (NumPy, pandas, scikit-learn, and at least one deep learning framework such as PyTorch or TensorFlow).\n\nFamiliarity with MLOps tooling: experiment tracking, model registries, feature stores, CI/CD for ML, containerization and orchestration.\n\nComfort with software engineering practices: version control, code review, testing, and reproducible environments.\n\nGraduate degree (MS or PhD) in a quantitative field such as computer science, statistics, mathematics, physics, engineering, or a related discipline - Equivalent professional experience may be substituted for the degree.\nNice to haveExperience maintaining deployed models (continuous/periodic evaluation, retraining, etc.)\n\nExperience with either of the following domains: CBM+, digital twins\n\nCloud platform experience (Azure, AWS, GCP, etc.)\n\nPublications, open-source contributions, or competition results that show technical depth\n\nEdge or embedded AI/ML applications\n\nExperience mentoring or leading a small team\n\nBenefits\nFortune 500-level Health Care Coverage\n\nUnlimited Leave Program after 60 days\n\n10 Paid Holidays & Paid Winter Break\n\n401(k) Safe Harbor Contributions\n\nEmployee Discount Program\n\nTo ApplySubmit your resume/CV in PDF format via instructions at the following link: \nWrite a carefully crafted, well-written cover letter that elaborates on your interest in this position and why you think you are the best candidate for the job.
