SAIC • Chantilly, VA • 47min ago

Description

?SAIC is seeking Data Scientist with deep expertise in AI/ML, advanced statistical modeling, and computer vision/OCR to design, develop, and deploy data-driven solutions that support mission-critical objectives. The ideal candidate combines strong quantitative skills with hands-on engineering experience, and can translate complex business or mission needs into scalable analytical and AI solutions.

You will work closely with subject-matter experts to understand requirements and translate those requirements into technical solutions to .to build models that extract value from structured and unstructured data, including images, documents, and text. Additionally, the models must detect changes from a defined baseline and incorporate the results into customer required report formats.

Key Responsibilities

AI & Machine Learning

Design, build, and validate machine learning models (supervised, unsupervised, and semi-supervised) for prediction, classification, clustering, and change detection..

Develop and maintain end-to-end ML pipelines, including data preparation, feature engineering, model training, evaluation, and deployment.

Apply deep learning techniques (e.g., CNNs, RNNs/LSTMs/Transformers) where appropriate to solve complex business or mission problems.

Statistical Modeling & Analytics

Develop and apply statistical models (e.g., regression, generalized linear models, hierarchical/multilevel models, time series, survival analysis, experimental design) to support forecasting, risk assessment, and operational decision-making.

Perform rigorous exploratory data analysis (EDA) and statistical inference to identify patterns, trends, drivers, and causal relationships.

Design and analyze A/B tests or other experiments to measure the impact of products, policies, or processes.

Communicate uncertainty, assumptions, and limitations of models using appropriate statistical methods.

Computer Vision & OCR

Develop computer vision and OCR solutions for image and document understanding, including detection, classification, segmentation, and feature extraction.

Implement document layout and entity extraction models (e.g., for forms, reports, scanned documents, PDFs) to convert unstructured visual content into structured data.

Fine-tune or customize pre-trained vision and OCR models to specific domains, languages, and document @types.

Stakeholder Engagement & Communication

Partner with business, program, or mission owners to understand requirements, define measurable objectives, and translate them into analytical solutions.

Present results and recommendations to technical and non-technical stakeholders through clear reports, visualizations, and briefings.

Document methodologies, models, and processes for transparency, reproducibility, and knowledge transfer.

Qualifications

Required Qualifications

Active TS/SCI with Poly clearance

Must be a US Citizen

Bachelors and five (5) years or more experience; Masters and three (3) years or more experience; PhD and 0 years related experience

3-5+ years (or equivalent hands-on experience) in data science, machine learning, or applied statistics.

Strong proficiency in Python (preferred) or R , including use of standard data science libraries

Demonstrated experience building and deploying machine learning and statistical models on real-world datasets.

Solid foundation in statistics and probability, including:

Hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, power analysis

Regression modeling (linear, logistic, regularization methods)

Time series or forecasting techniques

Hands-on experience with deep learning frameworks such as TensorFlow , Keras , or PyTorch .

Proven experience in computer vision , including at least some of:

Image classification, object detection, or segmentation

Use of CNN-based architectures (e.g., ResNet, EfficientNet, YOLO, Mask R-CNN, etc.)

Practical experience with OCR and document understanding, including:

Implementing OCR workflows with open-source or cloud-based tools

Pre- and post-processing of scanned documents (denoising, deskewing, layout analysis, text normalization)

Experience working with relational databases and SQL; familiarity with NoSQL or data lakes is a plus.

Ability to write clean, modular, and reproducible code using version control (e.g., Git).

Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and ability to work both independently and as part of a team.

Strong communication skills and ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.

Target salary range: $160,001 - $200,000. The estimate displayed represents the typical salary range for this position based on experience and other factors.
