Data Engineer (DE): Senior, Grade 6
Role Description
A data engineer serves to aggregate and normalize data from many sources of observations that are then processed to generate activity features that summarize the key attributes of the data collected using Key DE skills. An effective DE team member will closely coordinate with a data scientist (DS) on each project to scope, design, and implement project-based work. Generated feature and selected raw data will be saved to a persistent data store to enable historical analysis and higher context feature generation to support machine intelligence (MI) applications. In this role, a DE will support the development of integrated solutions of the next-generation of MI and human-machine intelligence (HMI) products.
