Several professional opportunities have arisen. If you are looking for the solidity of a Global Group that is at the forefront of innovation, but with the agility of a human structure that tailors to the personal development of its employees and allows opportunities for evolution in an international environment, then this is the place for you!

Background :

We are seeking a passionate Data Scientist MLOps to join our Engineering Project Dashboard team aiming to provide KPIs and metrics to monitor engineering activities of projects' engineering work packages. Customers of Engineering Dashboard digital services are spread all around the world, leading teams with different granularity, and looking for contextual information related to their projects.

Mission:

Our “Data Scientist – MLOps” colleague will define and implement the injection of engineering data into a Data lake dedicated to Thales engineering data. This job requires to process raw data in possibly huge amount (terabytes), to analyze, format and refine them (statistical analysis, normalization and cleaning steps, outlier’s detection and management). From this data, it is required to understand the problem to be solved and find the right models for extraction. From the models produced, it is required for our colleague to be able to compare different models, to identify the most performing ones. In case of huge data amount, knowledge in big data techniques and environment (HDFS and related tools) may be required.

Main responsibilities:

• Develop, update, maintain the project data models and manage the data sets for the development and operation process.

• Data Loading: load transformed data into appropriate storage systems

• Data Validation and Quality Assurance: ensure the accuracy and integrity of data throughout all stages of the ETL process. Perform and integrate quality checks and tools to identify and correct errors or discrepancies.

• Documentation: create and maintain documentation related to data flows and model, transformations applied, and validation procedures.

• Data Analysis: use loaded data analyze data distributions, visualize patterns, to extract valuable insights, generate reports, identify trends, and support data-driven decision-making.

• Stay in touch with the Group Data Management in various function, to ensure alignment with the recommendations and strategies.

• Proven experience in data analysis and ETL processes and tools

• Proven data engineering skills

• Very good statistical data analysis skills and attention to detail

• Proven data modeling (Weka, TensorFlow, Keras and knowledge of core algorithms) skills

• Good knowledge of relational SQL database

• Good knowledge of non-relation databases (e.g. MongoDB, etc. in case of huge amount of data)

• Good communication and relationship with the stakeholders and team members

• Capable to give and receive feedback; able to listen and share, able to give constructive feedback
