Position Overview:

As part of the talented team we are seeking a curious versatile and hands-on Data Science Intern who is comfortable contributing to different types of projects as organizational priorities evolve. Working with teams across Brunswicks divisions and functions the intern will combine scientific thinking with practical engineering to turn open-ended questions into structured analyses experiments and working prototypes. Projects may involve product application operational telemetry or other business data with an emphasis on understanding data quality extracting useful information and designing efficient approaches for collecting processing and using data. The ideal candidate can learn unfamiliar domains quickly evaluate technical trade-offs write reliable code and clearly communicate findings limitations and recommendations.

At Brunswick we have passion for our work and a distinct ability to deliver.


Essential Functions:

  • Contribute to a variety of data science analytics research and engineering projects based on evolving product and business needs.
  • Translate ambiguous questions into measurable objectives testable hypotheses experiments and practical implementation plans.
  • Collect clean join validate and explore data from connected products applications cloud platforms and operational systems.
  • Analyze structured unstructured time-series telemetry usage and sensor data to identify patterns anomalies trends and opportunities.
  • Develop reusable scripts data-processing workflows simulations and prototypes that move an idea from analysis toward a working technical solution.
  • Design experiments to compare alternative approaches and quantify trade-offs involving data fidelity accuracy performance cost storage bandwidth latency and maintainability.
  • Explore efficient methods for collecting and processing high-volume or resource-intensive data including sampling aggregation filtering compression feature extraction or event-driven approaches.
  • Apply appropriate statistical signal-processing analytical or machine-learning methods while considering the constraints of the systems in which they may be used.
  • Partner with product software engineering operations and business teams across multiple divisions to develop useful and achievable deliverables.
  • Test document and communicate datasets code assumptions experimental results limitations and recommendations so others can reproduce and extend the work.

Diversity of thought and experiences is fundamental when imagining the unimaginable. Certain skillsets/experiences are necessary; however others can be developed along the way.
