Job Description

Quantum Research Data Scientist

The Challenge:

Are you excited at the prospect of unlocking the secrets held by a data set? Are you fascinated by the possibilities presented by the IoT, machine learning, and quantum computing advances? In an increasingly connected world, massive amounts of structured and unstructured data open up new opportunities. As a data scientist, you can turn these complex data sets into useful information to solve global challenges. Across private and public sectors — from fraud detection, to cancer research, to national intelligence — you know the answers are in the data.

We have an opportunity for you to use your analytical skills to improve quantum compute ring and advanced analytic capabilities across sectors of the federal government. You’ll work closely with your customer to understand their questions and needs, and then dig into their data-rich environment to find the pieces of their information puzzle. You’ll mentor teammates, develop algorithms, write scripts, build predictive analytics, apply machine learning, and use the right combination of tools and frameworks to turn that set of disparate data points into objective answers to help federal organizations make informed decisions. You’ll provide your customer with a deep understanding of their data, what it all means, and how they can use it. Join us as we use data science and quantum computing for good in the federal government. This position is a hybrid role with a combination of working at a Booz Allen office or client site and working remotely.

Empower change with us.

You Have:

• 2+ years of experience with machine learning, quantum computing, data science, engineering, or postdoctoral research in professional or academic environments
• Experience with frequent scripting language use, including Python or R
• Experience with managing diverse data sources, including preprocessing, cleansing, and verifying the integrity of data to develop data marts for data science use cases and modeling applications
• Experience with performing data exploration and data analysis on multiple data types, including images, video, and text
• Ability to thrive while working independently to achieve successful results with minimal guidance
• Ability to articulate workflows and explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences
• Ability to obtain a security clearance
• Bachelor’s degree

Nice If You Have:

• Experience with operational machine learning applications and packages used in machine learning applications or advanced data analytics
• Experience in a leadership role, including project management and project evaluation
• Experience with feature selection, Computer Vision or Natural Language Processing model building, and optimization using supervised and unsupervised machine learning techniques to support analytic objectives
• Ability to exhibit flexibility and initiative when dealing with ambiguous and fast-paced situations
• Secret clearance
• Master’s degree preferred; Doctorate degree a plus

Clearance:

Applicants selected will be subject to a security investigation and may need to meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information.

Build Your Career:

 At Booz Allen, we know the power of analytics and we’re dedicated to helping you grow as a data analysis professional. When you join Booz Allen, you’ll have the chance to:

• access online and onsite training in data analysis and presentation methodologies, and tools like Hortonworks, Docker, Tableau, and Splunk
• change the world with the Data Science Bowl—the world’s premier data science for social good competition
• participate in partnerships with data science leaders, like our partnership with NVIDIA to deliver Deep Learning Institute (DLI)training to the federal government

You’ll have access to a wealth of training resources through our Analytics University, an online learning portal specifically geared towards data science and analytics skills, where you can access more than 5000 functional and technical courses, certifications, and books.
