Data Scientist

Repost of JP 14031 and JP 14291 Please no candidates from that last posting.

PRESCREENING QUESTIONS TO BE ON TOP OF RESUME :

1. For an internal flow, how do you determine if the flow is laminar or turbulent?

2. What is your experience with FEM commercial solvers, and which ones have you used?

3. Can you explain the difference between explicit and implicit finite element methods (FEM)?

4. What is your experience with Python, and which Python libraries have you used most frequently for data analysis, modeling, or simulation?

5. Are you familiar with GitLab? If so, can you describe some of the typical operations you have performed with it?

6. Are you familiar with Monte Carlo analysis? If yes, how do you ensure convergence in a Monte Carlo model?

Hybrid at Thousand Oaks. Expectation is 3 days onsite per week.

The ideal candidate is a Data Scientist with a strong engineering background, preferably in Mechanical, Biomedical, or Chemical Engineering, with proven experience in simulation, modeling, and data analysis within a GMP-regulated environment. They are proficient in Python, MATLAB, and Minitab, and possess a deep understanding of engineering principles applied to physical systems. The candidate holds either a PhD with no required industry experience, a Master s degree with at least 2 years of experience, or a Bachelor s degree with a minimum of 4 years of experience. They are highly analytical, collaborative, and adaptable, with the ability to translate experimental data into actionable insights. Candidates with degrees in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Engineering, or those with purely software-focused backgrounds, are not a fit for this role.
