Job Description

As a Data Scientist, you will be responsible for developing data-driven solutions to optimize flight routes, fuel efficiency, and airspace management. You will work with historical and live air traffic data, leveraging machine learning and optimization techniques to improve aviation operations. This role requires expertise in Python, aviation data analysis, and algorithm development, along with experience handling real-time traffic feeds and reverse-engineering aviation-related algorithms.

Principal Duties and Responsibilities:

• Reverse engineer and refine existing aviation algorithms to maximize efficiency in routing, fuel consumption and airspace utilization.
• Analyze and process live air traffic data to improve flight routing and operational decision-making.
• Work with large-scale aviation datasets, integrating historical and real-time traffic feeds for predictive modeling.
• Develop optimization algorithms that consider factors like weather, congestion, and air traffic flow.
• Design and implement machine learning and statistical models to support predictive air traffic management.
• Collaborate with other data scientists, air traffic controllers, and software engineers to integrate live traffic data into operational tools.

Education and Certifications:

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.

Required Skills:

• 8-10 years of experience in data science, machine learning, or related field.
• Expertise in Python
• 8-10 years of experience handling large-scale data pipelines and ETL processes.
• Ability to analyze, reverse engineer, and optimize algorithms for real-time applications.
• Understanding of air traffic management systems and aviation data sources such as SWIM, TASAR, NASCENT, and DWR.
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills, with a focus on real-world aviation challenges.

Preferred Skills:

• 2+ years of experience utilizing SWIM, TASAR, NASCENT, and DWR data sources for airspace and route planning.
• Background in aerospace engineering, air traffic management, or flight operations.
• Experience developing real-time decision-support tools for pilots, dispatchers, or air traffic controllers.
• Knowledge of route optimization and fuel efficiency algorithms.
• Hands-on experience with real-time data ingestion frameworks (Kafka, Spark Streaming, or similar).
• Experience with weather impact analysis on air traffic and flight planning.
• Proven expertise in working with live air traffic data and real-time decision-making systems.
• Strong background in aviation operations, flight planning, and airspace management in the USA or internationally.
