Job Description:

Position: Telematics Data Scientist X3 (Chicago, Illinois)

This posting covers multiple openings for the position described.

Duties: Build predictive models and develop new machine learning

techniques. Develop statistical modeling and/or machine learning techniques

on telematics data that would handle a wide range of problems ranging from

(but not limited to) probabilistic inference on phone trajectories, data

fusion between noisy sensors, and classification of driving behavior. Work

on data analysis and predictive modeling of sensor data collected from

vehicles and mobile phones (E.g. GPS, accelerometer, gyroscope, etc.).

Identify KPI’s generated from telematics sensor data. Manage data and data r

requests to improve the accuracy of our data and decisions made from data a

analysis. Collaborate with the team to improve the effectiveness of b

business decisions through the use of data and machine learning/predictive m

modeling. Communicate findings to team and leadership to ensure models are w

well understood and incorporated into business processes, and work with l

leadership to understand priorities and product needs and translates those i

into data and modeling products. Work on end to end life cycle from problem d

definition, data acquisition, exploratory data analysis, model building, d

deploying, supporting, monitoring to revising models in a production s

setting. Lead and participate in peer reviews, code reviews and other d

department activities.

Requirements: Doctorate (Ph.D.) degree in statistics, mathematics, computer

science, economics or related field (willing to accept foreign education

equivalent) plus one (1) year of experience using statistical modeling

and/or machine learning techniques to process or build models on telematics

or sensor data to drive a company’s business results or, alternatively, a

Master's degree and four (4) years of experience as noted above, or

alternatively, a Bachelor’s degree and six (6) years of experience as noted

above. Specific skills/other requirements (quantitative experience

requirements not applicable to this section) – must have: Demonstrated

expertise with hands on software engineering, specifically statistical

modelling or machine learning or artificial intelligence experience;

Demonstrated expertise coding and developing prototypes in Matlab, R,

Python, C++, and SQL; Demonstrated expertise managing and manipulating

large labeled and unlabeled complex datasets having billions of data

points and coming from varied sources, using technologies such as PySpark,

Hadoop, Hive, and SQL; Demonstrated expertise in sensor data processing

techniques (e.g. Savitzky – Golay filters, Kalman filters, and

dimensionality reduction techniques); Demonstrated expertise in providing

insights, building models from telematics and geo-spatial data (e.g.

accelerometer data, gyroscope data, Gravitometer data, GPS data, and geo-spatial shape files); and Demonstrated expertise working through end to end life cycle from problem definition, data acquisition, exploratory data analysis, model building, deploying, supporting, and monitoring to revising models in a production setting.
