Edge Data Scientist - Digital Intelligence & Infrastructure

We’re more than aviation experts, we’re pioneers. We challenge what’s possible. From breaking the sound barrier to advanced tiltrotor systems. Today, Bell is shaping the future of aviation through specialized engineering. And we want you.

We are developing the future of Army Aviation with the Bell V-280 Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) and the Bell 360 Invictus Future Attack and Reconnaissance Aircraft (FARA), part of the US Army’s Future Vertical Lift (FVL) modernization effort. We are also developing the Bell 525 Relentless, Bell’s Autonomous Pod Transport (APT), and Bell's High-Speed Vertical Take-Off and Landing (HSVTOL) program, a next generation stop-fold tilt-rotor. This position is onsite in Fort Worth, Texas.

Edge Data Scientist, Digital Intelligence & Infrastructure, Enterprise Digital Systems

Bring your experience and ideas and help us develop industry-leading edge analytics. As a member of our Digital Intelligence & Infrastructure team, you’ll work with data scientists, engineers, IT architects, operators, and maintainers to design, test, and deploy smart factory solutions in our core workstreams: Connected Factory, Digital Intelligence, and Connected Worker. As an Edge Data Scientist, you will be responsible for the design, deployment, maintenance, and management of our edge-to-cloud infrastructure and data systems. You will work to acquire Connected Factory data to support our data scientists in the development of Digital Intelligence applications. You will deploy containerized applications back to the edge and disseminate data to Connected Worker applications.

What you’ll be doing as an Edge Data Scientist

• Real-time shop floor data acquisition from machines, automation, conveyance systems, and environmental systems
• Future enterprise transactional system data acquisition
• Data management systems suitable for real-time, high-volume information
• Eliminate rework & scrap due to non-conformances for metallics, minimizing composites
• Improve operational availability through both scheduled and unscheduled events
• Minimize breakage events, control for wear effects on quality & maintenance, and manage life
• Identify emerging trends and raise real-time alerts as well as reduce the cost of future factory operations through prescriptive analytics from machine edge to factory level
• Increase shop floor situational awareness & effective timely decisions in directing plant personnel to actionable alerts based on both scheduled & unscheduled events
• Deliver contextualized information (real-time IoT, transactional, and analytical) to plant personnel through shop-floor mobility devices & applications, as well as interactive digital-physical work aid experiences

Skills You Bring to this Role 

• Knowledge in cloud database platforms and real-time data streaming delivery (Azure Synapse, Apache Kafka, Apache Spark)
• Familiarity with ML Ops / Data Science platforms, specifically establishing and maintaining ML pipelines (Azure Databricks)

• Knowledge in programming languages (python)
• Understanding of traditional relational databases (PostgreSQL, SQL)
• Insight to IoT edge infrastructure management, including hardware/software configuration of edge devices
• Skilled with secure Information Technology (IT)/Operations Technology (OT) network integration
• Familiarity working within an Agile DevOps project framework
• Ability to effectively communicate process documentation, architectures, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to execute business use-cases

What you need to be successful

• 10+ years overall experience with Information Technology (IT)/ Operations Technology (OT) networking, programming, and/or other role relevant to IT/OT.
• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field is required.

What we offer you in return

• You’ll be off every other Friday with our 9/80 work schedule
• 80 hours of Personal Time Off (PTO)
