• Utilize Git/GitHub for version control, CI/CD integration, and seamless collaborative workflows.

Required Skills and Experience:

We’re looking for a highly motivated individual with the following qualifications:

• Master’s or Ph.D. in Statistics, Data Science, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, or a closely related field.
• 5+ years of experience in Data Science, with a minimum of 2 years specifically within the oil & gas, energy, or industrial sectors.
• Proven hands-on experience with time series forecasting, anomaly detection, and signal processing techniques.
• Deep proficiency in Python and related data science libraries (NumPy, Pandas, scikit-learn, TensorFlow, or PyTorch).
• Strong experience with SQL, cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP), and big data tools (e.g., Spark).
• Demonstrated experience building and managing ETL pipelines, cloud data storage, and data lake architectures.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with vCloud environments and cloud-native data processing tools.
• Familiarity with DAX and M query language for Power BI development.
• Prior experience working with IoT sensor data, SCADA systems, or oilfield production data.
• Knowledge of physics-informed ML or hybrid modeling approaches.
• Experience working on mission-critical, high-complexity industrial analytics projects.

Orion Innovation is an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity and inclusion. We encourage all qualified individuals to apply.
