Role Summary & Primary Responsibilities
The Senior Data Scientist is a full time remote role that will support the technical development and implementation of GridMatrix's core products, including its customer facing dashboard and adaptive signal timing algorithms. The Senior Data Scientist is expected to use techniques from machine vision and perception to extract data from live video footage, find ways to use this data to optimize/tune object detection and classification algorithms, and to then use the results of those processes with applied statistical methods to calculate metrics of vehicular and pedestrian traffic flow. It would also be beneficial for the Senior Data Scientist to have experience with cloud hosting services for the streaming, processing, and storage of both unstructured and structured data.
