ECS is searching for an exceptional Senior Data Scientist for multiple locations to join our mission-critical team supporting our government customer in Northern Virginia, St. Louis, MO, and Tampa, FL.

This isnt just another data science role-its an opportunity to transform raw data into actionable insights that directly impact national security operations and warfighter support. Requires final acceptance by the Prime contractor and government customer. Validation of required clearances upon acceptance and approval from a cognizant government contracting officer. After customer indoctrination, the candidate will be submitted for a Counterintelligence Polygraph.

In an era where geospatial intelligence drives critical decisions, youll architect innovative data solutions that help analysts see patterns others miss, anticipate threats before they materialize, and deliver the GEOINT advantage our nation depends on. Your work will directly enable our customers mission to provide timely, relevant, and accurate data in support of military and national security objectives.

Value Proposition

  • Immediate Impact: Your solutions go into production supporting real-world intelligence operations-not trapped in endless development cycles.
  • Technical Freedom: Lead the architectural direction. We trust senior talent to identify the right tools, frameworks, and approaches without bureaucratic constraints.
  • Innovation Culture: We invest in emerging technologies-AI/ML, automation, advanced analytics-and empower our team to implement them where they add mission value.
  • Elite Collaboration: Work alongside some of the most talented geospatial analysts, data engineers, and intelligence professionals in the community.

As a Senior Data Scientist, youll serve as a technical leader and trusted advisor, bridging the gap between complex requirements and elegant technical solutions.

Core Responsibilities

  • Lead Through Expertise: Serve as the Subject Matter Expert for advanced analytics, mentoring team members while maintaining hands-on technical contributions. Your insights will shape program direction and capability roadmaps.
  • Innovate Continuously: Research, prototype, and deploy cutting-edge analytical methodologies. Apply machine learning, network analytics, and advanced statistical techniques to solve intelligence problems that have never been solved before.
  • Deliver Clarity from Complexity: Create sophisticated data visualizations and analytics dashboards that enable analysts to explore massive datasets intuitively, revealing patterns and relationships that drive intelligence assessments.
  • Drive Mission Success: Partner directly with customer stakeholders, understanding their intelligence questions and translating them into technical requirements. Your solutions will directly support critical intelligence operations.

Technical Focus Areas

  • Geospatial Analytics: Advanced spatial analysis, pattern detection, and predictive modeling using GEOINT datasets.
  • Multi-INT Fusion: Integrate and analyze data across GEOINT, SIGINT, OSINT, and other intelligence disciplines.
  • Automation & Scale: Build production-grade Python solutions that handle massive data volumes with efficiency and reliability.
  • Visual Intelligence: Develop interactive dashboards and network analytics that transform complex data into actionable insights.
  • AI/ML Applications: Implement machine learning models for classification, clustering, anomaly detection, and predictive analytics.

ECS Federal LLC

ECS was founded in 2001 by experienced IT professionals with a commitment to quality processes, people and performance. Led by our Chairman, Roy Kapani, and an experienced executive leadership team, ECS provides our customers with solutions and services that support their critical needs and further mission objectives. This commitment has paved the way for expansive growth, year over year.

ECS gained market share in 2011 in the Department of Defense and Federal spaces through both organic and acquisition growth. In May, ECS completed its first strategic acquisition with the purchase of OAK Management, Inc., a leading provider of marine environmental services, ship systems engineering, maritime consulting and platform acquisition management. The OAK acquisition kicked off ECS’ intention to add tactical acquisitions as a part of its long term strategy to supplement and expand upon organic growth and to build enterprise value. ECS closed out 2011 with the acquisition of Paradigm Technologies, Inc. The Paradigm transaction added approximately 200 employees to ECS’ existing 900+ employees. Paradigm also added new Defense clients for ECS, including the Missile Defense Agency, the Navy’s Program Executive Officer for Integrated Warfare Systems, the United States Marine Corps, and the U.S. Marshals Service.

In 2012, ECS completed the acquisition of iLuMinA Solutions, Inc. iLuMinA brings large-scale Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software implementation and infrastructure design and development to ECS’ expanding capabilities.

ECS will continue to invest in corporate infrastructure and quality processes as we grow and enhance our ability to offer professional excellence to both our customers and our employees.
