About Oden:

We are on the brink of the fourth industrial revolution.

Manufacturing has long been an analog world, but this is rapidly changing.  There is a staggering opportunity for improving the efficiency of current manufacturing processes, and enabling the next generation of manufacturing through the effective gathering, analysis, and productionization of data and insights. Oden is driving this revolution. 

We have combined industrial hardware, wireless connectivity, large-scale data processing architectures, and advanced machine learning algorithms within the Oden platform so all manufacturers can monitor, analyze and optimize their production, across their diverse set of processes. Our goal is to democratize efficiency, sustainability, and competitiveness in the manufacturing domain.

Why We Do It:

We like to enable those who make things - to make more, to waste less, to serve their customers, and to thrive in a competitive world. Help enough makers, and the world can give us all the abundance we want for less cost and environmental impact. We’re on the verge of a 4th industrial revolution for everyone who makes things.

You:

• Care about the purpose of the product and company.
• Are never satisfied with the way things are, but excited about the way things could be.
• Tinker. You embrace data and different technologies and want to see how they can work together.
• Empathize with customer needs and enjoy novel ways of posing and solving their problems.
• Live by transparent and scientific thinking. You put in the work to find the best ideas with those around you.
• Are happy to put on steel toe boots and hit the factory floor to work with the production manager.

The Role:

As a Data Scientist on the Engineering Team you will be responsible for building statistical and machine learning models that improve the efficiency of manufacturing using telemetry collected from Oden’s factory cloud. This includes real-time metrics that capture various properties of the manufacturing process, context about these metrics provided from external systems and human input, and offline measurements that describe the quality of the resulting products. Problems of interest range from diagnostic to predictive, eventually leading up to closed loop process control.

You will be working closely with Oden’s data and product engineers to address customer needs. You will push the envelope on how machine learning can provide value to process engineers, operators and materials scientists. This is a crucial role for Oden, and requires someone who will uphold the highest standards of quality, accountability, and attention to detail.

Responsibilities:

• Interacting with customers to understand and pose relevant data analysis problems.
• Developing and validating models and methods that address these problems, and working with the engineering team to deploy these as solutions
• Generalizing solutions and innovating to create the next generation of product features
• Engaging with the technical community to present results externally, keep up to date on recent advances, and advance the state of the art

Minimum Qualifications:

• 5 years professional experience as a Data Scientist or advanced degrees (M.S. or PhD. in Statistics, Data Science, Computer Science with ML focus, or related fields)
• Experience with Python and SQL
• Experience with designing, building and deploying performant statistical models on large data sets (bonus: experience with time series data, with real-time data analysis)
• Familiarity with process improvement and exploratory techniques (e.g. design of experiments and optimization)
• Enthusiasm to own projects end-to-end; from experimentation to customer delivery
• Experience predictive modeling or machine learning on large datasets (bonus: experience with image data and deep learning)

Bonus:

• Materials Science, Chemistry, or a related physical science expertise

What We Offer You:

• Measurable impact to the world and the chance to help real people - family businesses, entrepreneurs, engineers.
• Exposure to many tech disciplines, most of which are rapidly evolving.
• A bridge between the physical and cloud worlds of tech. Our platform unites big data visualizations with sensors, M2M tech, and heavy industrial equipment.
• A platform that has the potential to evolve beyond what we have envisioned now.
• Scientific and transparent thinking, for everyone involved.
• We have backing by world leaders of both industry and tech that will ensure long term growth and development for us.

We’re an equal opportunity employer (EOE).
