About The Position

Raytheon’s Data, Analytics, and AI organization is seeking a hands-on Senior Data Scientist to help turn complex factory and test data into insights and solutions that improve how we build products. In this role, you will work closely with Engineering, Operations, Quality, and software teams to solve real manufacturing problems using statistics, machine learning, and data-driven applications. Your work will have a direct connection to production, from identifying the causes of process variation to developing predictive models and tools that help engineers make faster, better decisions. You’ll engage across the full data science lifecycle: exploring large, multifaceted datasets, developing and validating models alongside domain experts, and helping transition successful solutions into production environments. You will also play a key role in guiding how our organization applies modern analytics and AI techniques within manufacturing. This is a role for someone who enjoys both the technical work and the problem-solving that happens when data meets the real world.
