We are seeking a Data Scientist / Data Engineer to support a high-impact internal engineering modernization initiative. This role will focus heavily on data pre-processing, cleaning, and transformation of large volumes of complex legacy data, with future phases expanding into machine learning and AI-driven capabilities.

The individual will work on automating a historically manual, engineering-driven process by transforming years of semi-structured data into a scalable, searchable solution supported by a user interface. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working with messy, real-world data, building robust pipelines, and contributing to systems that directly support engineers and customers.

The project centers around approximately 2,100+ Excel files used by engineering teams to configure highly specialized customer products. These files contain 10-15 years of historical engineering configurations, with very specific values that vary depending on application and customer needs.

Today, engineers manually search across hundreds or thousands of files to find similar configurations. The goal of this initiative is to automate that process by enabling engineers to input a small set of parameters into a custom internal UI, which will then surface relevant historical configurations.

Initial UI work has already been completed internally. This role will help advance the project by strengthening the data foundation and enabling future AI/ML-based similarity matching and intelligence.

We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances.
