Internship Google Data Analytics Certificate Jobs

Apogee is seeking a Data Scientist (DS) to support the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command (USASMDC). This role applies data science, statistics, and automation to mission analytics, helping operational and intelligence teams process large, complex datasets and convert them into actionable insights in support of space and missile defense priorities.

The Data Scientist partners with analysts and technical stakeholders to identify high‑value analytic problems, engineer and curate datasets, and develop reproducible pipelines and models to automate workflows and enrich mission data. Responsibilities include data exploration and feature engineering; building and evaluating statistical/ML approaches (as appropriate); developing scripts, tools, and dashboards to support analysis and reporting; and communicating results through clear documentation and briefings. The DS also supports data governance and quality efforts, ensures methods are transparent and repeatable, and transitions solutions into operational use in coordination with Government leads and mission users.

This is a full‑time opportunity at Petterson Space Force Base (PSFB), CO.
