  • Develop and maintain reports and expressions of baseline risk coverage and application in operations
  • Design and develop expressions of risk benchmarking from similar industries
  • Create dashboards and reports for communicating risk, ranking, and anomalies
  • Present safety research findings to senior leadership and recommend actionable improvements to safety protocols and operational systems
  • Mentor and lead junior team members, fostering their professional growth

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree in Data Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent applicable technical experience
  • 7+ years of progressive experience solving large-scale complex problems
  • Demonstrated experience in a safety related domain (e.g., transportation, aerospace, robotics, medical devices)
  • Strong understanding of safety principles and risk assessment methodologies
  • with a proven track record of using data science techniques to solve safety challenges and mitigate risks in a dynamic environment
  • Deep command of statistical methods, probabilistic modeling, and performing rapid exploratory data analysis
  • Expertise in data science tools (e.g., Python, SQL, R), statistical modeling, machine learning, predictive analytics, and visualization software (e.g., Tableau, Power BI)
  • Adept at querying, analyzing, and visualizing large datasets
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to convey complex information to various audiences
  • Strong leadership skills, with the ability to provide guidance and mentorship
