Job description

ECS is searching for an exceptional Senior Data Scientist for multiple locations to join our mission-critical team supporting our government customer in Joint Base Lewis-McChord, WA, Sneads Ferry, NC, Fayetteville, NC or Northern VA. This isn't just another data science role-it's an opportunity to transform raw data into actionable insights that directly impact national security operations and warfighter support.
* Requires final acceptance by the Prime contractor and government customer.
** Validation of required clearances upon acceptance and approval from a cognizant government contracting officer. After customer indoctrination, the candidate will be submitted for a Counterintelligence Polygraph.
In an era where geospatial intelligence drives critical decisions, you'll architect innovative data solutions that help analysts see patterns others miss, anticipate threats before they materialize, and deliver the GEOINT advantage our nation depends on. Your work will directly enable our customers mission to provide timely, relevant, and accurate data in support of military and national security objectives.
Value Proposition:
  • Immediate Impact: Your solutions go into production, supporting real-world intelligence operations-not trapped in endless development cycles.
  • Technical Freedom: Lead the architectural direction. We trust senior talent to identify the right tools, frameworks, and approaches without bureaucratic constraints.
  • Innovation Culture: We invest in emerging technologies-AI/ML, automation, advanced analytics-and empower our team to implement them where they add mission value.
  • Elite Collaboration: Work alongside some of the most talented geospatial analysts, data engineers, and intelligence professionals in the community.

As a Senior Data Scientist, you'll serve as a technical leader and trusted advisor, bridging the gap between complex requirements and elegant technical solutions:
Core Responsibilities:
  • Architect Solutions, Not Just Code
    Design and implement end-to-end data science architectures that process multi-INT data streams at scale. You'll build automated pipelines that transform terabytes of structured and unstructured data into mission-critical intelligence products.
  • Lead Through Expertise
    Serve as the Subject Matter Expert for advanced analytics, mentoring team members while maintaining hands-on technical contributions. Your insights will shape program direction and capability roadmaps.
  • Innovate Continuously
    Research, prototype, and deploy cutting-edge analytical methodologies. Apply machine learning, network analytics, and advanced statistical techniques to solve intelligence problems that have never been solved before.
  • Deliver Clarity from Complexity
    Create sophisticated data visualizations and analytics dashboards that enable analysts to explore massive datasets intuitively, revealing patterns and relationships that drive intelligence assessments.
  • Drive Mission Success
    Partner directly with customer stakeholders, understanding their intelligence questions and translating them into technical requirements. Your solutions will directly support critical intelligence operations.
  • Technical Focus Areas
    • Geospatial Analytics: Advanced spatial analysis, pattern detection, and predictive modeling using GEOINT datasets
    • Multi-INT Fusion: Integrate and analyze data across GEOINT, SIGINT, OSINT, and other intelligence disciplines
    • Automation & Scale: Build production-grade Python solutions that handle massive data volumes with efficiency and reliability
    • Visual Intelligence: Develop interactive dashboards and network analytics that transform complex data into actionable insights
    • AI/ML Applications: Implement machine learning models for classification, clustering, anomaly detection, and predictive analytics. The candidate must have previous experience in ABI tradecraft as well and the ability to produce finished products that adhere to NGA and DNI standards.

  • US Citizen.
  • Active TS/SCI security clearance required to apply; must be able to pass a CounterIntelligence (CI) polygraph following customer indoctrination.
  • High School Diploma and 10+ years of relevant experience; alternatively, a Bachelors / Masters degree in a related field of study or a combination of military (10+ years), experience, training or certifications.
  • Proven track record supporting Intelligence Community missions in operational environments.
  • Senior-level proficiency in Python:
    • For data science, automation, and analytics pipeline development.
    • With demonstrated experience in designing mission ready solutions.
  • Experience:
    • Querying and integrating web APIs through Python to retrieve, normalize, and operationalize data.
    • Developing interactive data visualizations using Plotly, Seaborn, Matplotlib, Bokeh, or comparable tools.
    • Building dashboards and analytic interfaces using Dash, Streamlit, Panel, Tableau, or similar platforms.
    • Using Git-based version control platforms such as GitLab or GitHub.
    • Architecting solutions for large-scale structured and unstructured datasets.
    • Conducting multi-INT research and analysis to support operational requirements.
  • Hands-on experience with COTS platforms (Tableau, MATLAB, MapLarge) and GOTS capabilities for advanced statistical analysis.
  • Strong SQL skills and experience querying relational databases.
  • Proficiency with:
    • Geospatial processing frameworks such as GDAL or ArcPy.
    • GIS desktop software such as ArcGIS Pro or QGIS.
  • Ability to:
    • Write clear, concise technical documentation related to software systems and automated workflows.
