Data Scientist

The Role

You will own the full lifecycle of deep learning models that run on locomotives across North America, working with real video and sensor data and shipping to edge hardware where lighting, weather, and equipment variability are constant factors.

• Design and train custom deep neural networks for computer vision, object detection, and time series problems
• Build and refine the labeling and training pipelines that feed model development
• Optimize models for edge deployment using PyTorch, NVIDIA TensorRT, and ONNX
• Create the APIs and automated testing that move models into production and keep them healthy
• Partner with ML engineers, data engineers, and product, and translate model behavior for non-technical stakeholders

Who Thrives Here

• BS or MS in Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, or a related field
• 3+ years building and deploying deep learning models on real data, with strong Python and PyTorch fluency
• Computer vision fundamentals, SQL for data access, and experience with regression, classification, and object detection
• Solid foundation in memory model, CPU and GPU architectures, and modular software design; comfort with AWS S3 and Glue
• Agile mindset comfortable with rapid prototyping, feedback loops, and shipping work the team can act on
• Bonus: NVIDIA TensorRT, ONNX, YOLO or Detectron2, C or C++ for edge integration, Docker, IoT or safety critical background

What We Offer

• A specific and real mission with locomotive video and sensor data nobody else has access to
• Full lifecycle ownership
• A named career path to Senior Data Scientist, Principal Data Scientist, and AI Manager
• Benefits that back your whole life: medical, dental, and vision with HSA (employer contribution), employer-paid life, AD&D, and disability coverage, 24/7 telemedicine, an Employee Assistance Program, and financial wellness resources

Work Environment

Hybrid in Bolingbrook, IL: Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday in office, with Monday and Friday worked remotely or on site as business needs require. Ability to board a locomotive for field research. Occasional domestic and international travel may be required.

Ready to See Your Models Run in the Real World?

If you want your next role to be the one where your models actually ship and the outcomes are measured in safer crews and more reliable service, we would like to meet you. Bring your curiosity, your craft, and your standards. We will bring the mission, the data, and a team that trusts each other.
