Remote Lidar Data Processing Jobs in Riverside, CA

We have an exciting opportunity for a Data Scientist within our data product space. This individual will be focused on designing, building, and deploying machine learning models and data products that support our enterprise initiatives. This role focuses on developing scalable, production ready solutions by translating complex business problems into data-driven approaches and model-based outputs.

Working closely with product managers, engineering teams, and business stakeholders, this position contributes to the development of data products from concept through deployment, ensuring solutions are reliable, performant, and aligned with real world use cases. The role includes hands on model development, feature engineering, and integration into production systems within cloud environments.

The ideal candidate has experience building and operationalizing machine learning models and is comfortable working with modern AI techniques, including large language models (LLMs) and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), where applicable. Experience with platforms such as Azure, AWS, or similar ecosystems is strongly preferred.

Success in this role requires strong technical expertise, problem-solving skills, and the ability to deliver high-quality solutions within a structured development environment. This role focuses on building and deployment of production data products and is not limited to exploratory analysis or reporting.
