You'll apply your expertise in data engineering, exploratory analysis, and feature development to shape how datasets are assessed, designed, transformed, and maintained for AI/ML workloads. While supporting a cross-functional technical environment, you'll help ensure high-quality, well-governed data flows that enable reliable model performance across operational, research, and enterprise systems.
