About the Role
As a Data Scientist (w/m/d) in the defense sector, you will develop data-driven and AI-powered solutions for the German Armed Forces, government agencies, and the defense industry. You will guide the entire solution lifecycle from conception to productive implementation in security-critical environments.
Responsibilities
- Advise clients from the German Armed Forces, government agencies, and the defense industry on the development of future-oriented data and AI solutions.
- Analyze, define, and evaluate requirements for AI use cases in close collaboration with relevant stakeholders.
- Support the further development of modern defense-related capabilities.
- Analyze large and complex datasets to gain insights for intelligent, networked, and security-critical systems.
- Derive well-founded decision-making bases from data analysis.
- Conceive, develop, and implement modern data science, machine learning, and AI solutions (e.g., Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing, Geodata Analysis) for complex defense platforms.
- Design scalable architectures and end-to-end data pipelines.
- Make sound architectural decisions.
- Ensure high standards for data governance, data quality, integrity, and information security in security-critical environments.
- Continuously develop professional and methodological competencies.
- Introduce innovative approaches in data science and artificial intelligence.
- Communicate complex issues appropriately to the target audience.
- Support knowledge exchange within and outside the company.
Requirements
- Successfully completed studies in Physics, Data Science, Mathematics, Computer Science, or a comparable field. A doctorate is welcome.
- Relevant experience in processing large, heterogeneous datasets.
- Experience in the architecture and development of data-driven solutions for mission- and decision-critical use cases, ideally in the defense or security-critical environment.
- Proficiency in defense and security-critical environments with high demands on information security, traceability, compliance, and governance.
- Ability to derive technological decisions for scalable and modular architectures.
- Sound knowledge in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, particularly in statistics, probability theory, linear algebra, and mathematical modeling.
- Experience in preparing, feature extraction, and analyzing structured and unstructured data.
- Experience in evaluating data quality, bias, and robustness.
- Practical experience in the conception, training, evaluation, and application of models, especially in areas like Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing, and ideally Geodata Analysis.
- Proficiency in relevant technologies and frameworks such as Python, Spark, SQL, TensorFlow or PyTorch, OpenCV, GIS systems, and Kubernetes (On-Premises and Cloud environments like StackIT, AWS, Azure, or GCP).
- Experience in consulting or comparable customer-facing roles.
- Ability to communicate complex issues clearly and appropriately to subject matter experts and decision-makers.
- Willingness to work closely with clients.
- Very good German and English language skills.
