Senior Data Scientist
The Role
Service Engineering exists uniquely at the intersection of firmware/hardware design, service, diagnostics, manufacturing, quality, and reliability. Service Engineering multiplies efforts of service in the areas of diagnostics, repairs, and maintenance, while simultaneously reducing the need for each. As Service Engineering Platform Data Scientist, you will be responsible for data-driven decision making and data products on a wide variety of cross-functional projects within the global Service Engineering organization. You will have an integral part in critical projects that improve our products, support them in the field, and improve our diagnostics capabilities.
