About the Organization

Now is a great time to join Redhorse Corporation. Redhorse specializes in developing and implementing creative strategies and solutions with private, state, and federal customers in the areas of cultural and environmental resources services, climate and energy change, information technology, and intelligence services. We are hiring creative, motivated, and talented people with a passion for doing what's right, what's smart, and what works.

Position Description

Redhorse Corporation (Redhorse) is seeking an exceptional Data Scientist for the Conditions Based Maintenance (CBM+) Program performing predictive maintenance and predictive logistics model development and forecasting work. The Data Scientist will analyze signal and fault data and develop Sensor Based Algorithms (SBAs) with the objective of increasing vehicle availability while reducing life cycle maintenance costs. Pairing these data with failure data from maintenance depot records, the Data Scientist will build the next generation of predictive failure models for the US Marine Corps fleet of vehicles.

Our mission is to change the way government interacts with and uses data and technology. Our purpose is to help government to better serve its citizens. Redhorse Corporation offers a proven approach to mission-focused innovation. Design thinking helps us understand customer problems and develop better ways to solve them. Lean Startup lets us turn those ideas into business models that work, quickly and for the least cost.

We are hiring creative, motivated, and talented people with a passion for doing what’s right, what’s smart, and what works.

Essential Functions:

• Develop Sensor Based Algorithms (SBAs) models for a subset of USMC ground vehicles using AI/ML modeling techniques
• Develop failure models for a subset of USMC ground vehicles using text-based Maintenance data with modern NLP techniques
• Integrate SBA models with maintenance data models to provide an integrated predictive system
• Field novel predictive failure models
• Generate monthly enhanced reliability centered maintenance forecasts for assigned vehicles and components
• Generate and maintain a long-range supply forecast for assigned vehicles and components
• Participate in user and stakeholder engagements and technical discussions
• Gather and provide feedback on best practices and recommended enhancements to the platform
• Document work performed in technical reports
• Mentor and develop junior data scientists and other team members.
