Job Description
Position: Data Scientist Engineer – Sr
Location: Aurora, CO
Clearance: TS/SCI with CI Polygraph
Lead AI/ML Innovation in Mission Data Science
DeNOVO Solutions is seeking a Senior Data Scientist Engineer to lead the design, development, and deployment
of advanced AI/ML solutions supporting complex mission and operational environments. This role is ideal for an
experienced data science professional who thrives at the intersection of research, engineering, and mission
execution—developing high-impact, explainable models that transform raw data into actionable intelligence. You’ll
guide the evolution of production ML systems, mentor mid-level engineers, and work directly with analysts to ensure
model performance meets the highest standards of accuracy, transparency, and operational readiness.
Why You’ll Love This Role:
You’ll Shape AI for the Mission: Design and deploy models that extract real-world value from signal and sensor
data.
You’ll Drive Scalable ML Systems: Lead the integration of automated retraining and deployment pipelines
within secure cloud environments.
You’ll Mentor and Lead: Share your expertise with junior data scientists and engineers, fostering a culture of
innovation and technical excellence.
A Day in the Life:
AI/ML Solution Development: Lead the creation and optimization of advanced ensemble, neural network,
and unsupervised learning models tailored to mission data.
Automation & Scalability: Design automated pipelines for data ingestion, curation, and retraining to ensure
model adaptability and long-term performance.
Validation & Explainability: Coordinate with analysts and mission experts to validate models, track accuracy
metrics, and enforce compliance with explainability and transparency standards.
Model Deployment: Integrate and operationalize ML models into production systems, collaborating with
DevSecOps to align with CI/CD pipelines and mission constraints.
Monitoring & Optimization: Implement tools for continuous monitoring, A/B testing, and drift detection to
maintain model reliability.
Team Leadership: Mentor junior team members, review code and models, and promote best practices in data
science methodology, governance, and reproducibility.
Tools, Technologies, Skills, & Knowledge:
Machine Learning & AI: Ensemble models, CNNs, RNNs, Transformers, unsupervised and semi-supervised
learning
Frameworks & Libraries: TensorFlow, PyTorch, Scikit-learn, XGBoost
Data Infrastructure: Feature stores, distributed computing frameworks (Spark, Ray, Dask)
Deployment & Monitoring: MLflow, DVC, Docker, model monitoring, A/B testing, data drift detection
Analytical Expertise: Causal inference, signal data processing, experiment design, model interpretability
(SHAP, LIME)
Collaboration Tools: Jupyter Notebooks, Git, Confluence, Agile/DevSecOps environments
What You Need:
Experience: Ten (10) to fifteen (15) years of experience designing, training, and deploying ML models within
the DoD or Intelligence Community, including experience leading technical teams or enterprise AI initiatives.
Education:
Bachelor’s degree or higher in a quantitative discipline (e.g., statistics, mathematics, operations
research, engineering, or computer science).
A Master’s degree may substitute for two years of experience; a PhD may substitute for four years.
An additional two years of related experience may substitute for a Bachelor’s degree.
Certifications: None required.
Clearance: TS/SCI with CI Polygraph.
