Responsibilities
We're seeking a Senior Data Scientist to join our Nuclear OS team and build the AI/ML capabilities that will transform nuclear construction. This senior-level position offers the unique opportunity to develop predictive analytics and machine learning models that learn from historical and real-time data to predict future outcomes, detect anomalies, and optimize nuclear project delivery. You'll work with cutting-edge AI/ML technologies and data integration platforms, deploying models that directly impact the efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness of fleet-scale nuclear deployment.
Predictive Analytics Development: Host and develop various ML models that learn from historical and real-time data to predict future outcomes or detect anomalies, including schedule slippage prediction, equipment failure forecasting, and risk assessment
AI Model Development & Deployment: Develop, train, and deploy machine learning models within the Palantir Foundry environment, managing model development, training, and inference at scale while ensuring models operate on governed, quality-controlled data
Anomaly Detection & Optimization: Introduce ML algorithms on numeric datasets to identify outliers or predict issues, applying time-series anomaly detection to identify unusual fluctuations that could indicate problems
Algorithm Optimization: Fine-tune and optimize predictive analytics algorithms to improve the accuracy of fault detection and predictive maintenance, adjusting machine learning models based on historical data to enhance prediction accuracy
