[Hiring] Senior Data Scientist @Motion

Role Description

As our first Senior Data Scientist, you will build the models and analytical foundations that turn raw industrial telemetry into customer-facing insights, alerts, and predictions. While our software engineering team builds the high-scale infrastructure and data pipelines, your mission is to transform that raw telemetry into the "brain" of our product.

• Define the requirements for how data should be structured for analysis.
• Develop models that identify industrial inefficiencies.
• Lead the charge in turning "noise" into high-value customer insights.
• Help define the analytical data requirements.
• Partner closely with engineering on how data should be structured and exposed for modeling.

Qualifications

• 6-8+ Years of Data Science experience.
• Proven experience building predictive models and extracting actionable signals from massive, high-velocity datasets.
• Deep mathematical understanding of signal processing, anomaly detection, and forecasting.
• Extensive hands-on experience manipulating and analyzing time-series data (IoT and sensor data experience preferred).
• Expert-level skills in SQL to explore "Big Data" scales.
• Expert proficiency in Python and the standard Data Science stack (Pandas, NumPy, Scikit-learn, SciPy).
• Experience taking models from a notebook into a production environment.
• Working knowledge of modern cloud data tooling and infrastructure.
• Ability to design frameworks for validating data accuracy and model performance in real-world industrial settings.

Requirements

• Develop models to predict equipment failure, energy spikes, or operational bottlenecks for our industrial clients.
• Apply statistical techniques to filter out sensor noise and identify the true "events" that matter to a facility manager.
• Act as the "internal customer" for the Software Engineering team.
• Define the schemas, latency requirements, and data "landing zones" needed for high-level analysis.
• Identify "blind spots" in current telemetry.
• Partner with UI Engineers to ensure dashboards surface meaningful trends and actionable intelligence.
• Work closely with the Product team to translate complex predictive models into intuitive, customer-facing features.
• Incorporate user feedback from the UI directly into your models.

Benefits

• Training provided for nice-to-haves such as Industrial Domain Knowledge and Deep Learning.
• Prior experience in IoT, Green-tech, Prop-tech, or Manufacturing is a plus.

The Profile

You are a "data detective" who is more interested in what the data means than how the database is sharded. You are a proactive communicator who can tell an engineer, "I need this data partitioned by device-type for my model to run efficiently," and tell a client, "Here is the statistical probability that your HVAC system will fail in the next 30 days." You are looking for a high-impact role where you can define the analytical foundation of a scaling company.
