Senior Data Scientist
Wärtsilä is leading the maritime industry’s transformation towards a decarbonised and sustainable future. We at Wärtsilä Marine Power are proud to offer our customers the world’s widest network of maritime expertise and the full portfolio from engines to lifecycle solutions.
We want to change the course towards an interconnected and cleaner maritime future and are constantly on the lookout for future-oriented talent to join our team and to work towards enabling sustainable societies through innovation in technology and services - together. Are you ready to jump onboard?
We are now looking for a Data Scientist to join our Data Science team in Optimization group at Helsinki Office in Finland!
Voyage Services is committed to help shipping companies save fuel by using vessel performance data to reduce consumption: our servers crunch millions of data measurements every day across thousands of ships sailing around the world, and our data, insight, and algorithms help them achieve optimal hydrodynamic and operational performance. With our unique technology, the worlds’ largest ships reduce their CO2 emissions and reach their destinations with maximal fuel efficiency and safety.
For us, it is cutting edge technology. For our customers and competitors, it is magic.
For example, our team builds and maintains models and optimization algorithms to support the Fleet Optimization Solutions product (https://www.wartsila.com/voyage/fos)
What will be your objectives?
We gain insight in ship operations through analysing large amounts of data that is being continuously collected. The insight generates value to our customers through our fuel efficiency improving software applications.
Your role will be to create and maintain advanced statistical modeling and optimization software. Our modeling methodology is founded on the combination of physics, hands-on knowledge of seafarers and insight gained by exploring the data. The computational models are utilized onboard ships by our applications as a basis for optimization. In addition, our customers improve the efficiency of ship operations from visualizations and analytics based on these models evaluated on our data center.
As statistical models form an integral part of our software stack, you will be end-to-end responsible from carrying out the proof-of-concept studies behind the modeling problems to all the way taking the findings into a production quality data processing software.
Skills we are looking for (a successful candidate will have some of these):
PhD degree in a relevant field such as Data Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, or a related discipline
Statistical modeling expertise (Bayesian Regression, Gaussian Processes, Kalman/Particle Filtering, DSP, non-linear optimization methods, ...)
Physics expertise, especially in hydrodynamics
Strong programming skills in Python, with experience in implementing statistical models using libraries such as NumPy, pandas, Scipy, and scikit-learn
Experience with software development practices and managing large codebases
Experience with git, Linux, CI, Docker, etc.
Ability to work in a collaborative team environment
Why you and us?
Our team is a mature agile team with 6 members with expertise in math, physics, software development, and analytics, in varying proportions. We give each member independence to experiment with their own approaches. We value transparency and believe in agile way of working where members regardless of their seniority or backgrounds can have an equal impact to the team’s decision-making. Moreover, by joining our team, you will have the chance to continuously improve your skills and advance your career to new heights
We hope that you are as passionate about data science and ensuring good code quality as we are. We value diversity, appreciate difficult discussions, sincere and straightforward feedbacks, and challenges to the status quo. We hope that you share these values as well! Additionally, we hope you are comfortable working both independently and in cooperation with other team members. Besides professional work, we also enjoy each other's company and sometimes hang out after work if schedule and family life allows.
Our team primarily works remotely, but we make an effort to gather once a week at Helsinki office.
In addition, by joining our team, you can contribute to build technology that matters:
Implement IoT-based technology on vessels the size of small cities
Build something you can be proud of beyond your professional life. Your work directly affects the CO2 emissions of a fleet of hundreds, or possibly thousands of ocean-going ships.
Participate in building products that are used onboard by the captains themselves
