Our patented spatial computing technology works ambiently without changing how people live while prioritizing privacy. We detect emergencies and health risks to help people live with greater independence and peace of mind.

We're an experienced team of visionaries, technologists, and health professionals driven by urgency to create solutions that change lives at scale. We operate like a high-energy startup while partnering with Fortune 30 companies and leading consumer tech and healthcare organizations.

Senior Data Scientist - DC / DA Lead

We seek an experienced Senior Data Scientist to serve as single-threaded owner of Data Curation and Data Analysis—the foundation powering all radar-based insights. You'll independently drive scalable frameworks for radar insights while ensuring highest data quality standards.

This role requires comfort in a multi-sensor environment with hardware familiarity essential. Camera experience (Zed360) highly desirable; RF / thermal imaging experience a bonus. You'll design robust radar data pipelines for processing, cleaning, and transforming signals into meaningful information for target detection, tracking, and classification.

You'll collaborate with DSP / ML engineers on production algorithm integration, emphasizing scalable workflows, diagnostics tooling, and labeling infrastructure including third-party partnerships.

Your Superpowers

Self-starting data detective with proven ability to independently own end-to-end DC / DA processes. Expert at finding patterns in complex multi-dimensional datasets where others see none, with unwavering focus on data integrity and quality. You thrive on being the go-to expert for data curation and analysis, taking initiative to dive deep into data quality challenges without needing direction.

The Job’s Responsibilities

As a collaborative individual contributor and subject-matter expert (SME) who will be the single-threaded owner of DC / DA, you will use your superpowers to collaborate with others with their superpowers (you'll work with others who excel at business strategy, product management, user experience and industrial design, electronics design and engineering, software architecture and development, supply chain and logistics management, finance and business modeling, SCRUM and program management, business development and contracting, sales, and marketing) in a supportive and safe team setting to achieve company goals.

PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES (70-80% of role) :

• Own and drive our weekly Data Curation / Data Analysis (DC / DA) efforts as the single-threaded leader
• Independently establish DC / DA frameworks and processes from first principles
• Develop and refine auto-labeling techniques for faster annotation
• Build robust visualization and root-cause analysis (RCA) tooling to help debug and improve models
• Perform in-depth data exploration to identify gaps, biases, and edge cases
• Design and implement robust data pipelines tailored to radar data, including processing, cleaning, and transforming raw radar signals
• Conduct exploratory data analysis to extract valuable insights specific to radar data, such as target detection, tracking, and classification
• Explore and visualize data to identify patterns, trends, and relationships, providing actionable insights to stakeholders
• Craft publication-quality data visualizations highlighting results and improvements
• Collect, categorize, and analyze data from various sources (e.g., spreadsheets, company databases, public websites, sensors, devices)
• Clean and prepare raw, unstructured datasets to ensure they are accurate and usable for analysis
