Data Scientist, II

Designs, develops and programs methods, processes, and systems to consolidate and analyze unstructured, diverse “big data” sources to generate actionable insights and solutions for client services and product enhancement.

• Interacts with product and service teams to identify questions and issues for data analysis and experiments
• Develops and codes software programs, algorithms and automated processes to cleanse, integrate and evaluate large data sets from multiple disparate sources
• Identifies meaningful insights from large data and metadata sources; interprets and communicates insights and findings from analysis and experiments to product, service, and business managers
• Create analytical models with emphasis on predicative and prescriptive analytics
• Support creation of visual graphics to adequately analyze historical data and display trending
• Support evaluation of 3rd party analytics algorithms and analytics framework
• Support Integration of statistical models into Zebra’s platforms, products or services by collaborating with software development team
• Perform data analysis of customer specific data to help diagnosis customer specific issues
• Evaluate and make recommendations to evolve data collected to improve analytics
• Evaluate and define new data to collect for products or services under consideration for development or in development cycle
• Meet with customers and present data analysis and reports; also gather customer requirements relative to data analytics, data modeling, data visualization

• Bachelor’s degree in Statistics, Mathematics, Data/Computer Science, or a related discipline. An advanced degree (Masters or PhD) is strongly preferred.
