Senior Staff Research Scientist IV: A Mathematician With a Backbone Intact

  • Full-time

Company Description

Hexagon Lavish® is a scientific research and development start-up based in the United States. The company initially was focused in machine learning techniques but now has evolved into a small company that's devoted to utilizing "unorthodox" research methodologies in theoretical development and uncompromised use of mathematics and science.

PIR: Premier Information Retrieval will be a resultant product from the platform, IISS (Informational Interpretation Scientific Software). PIR will be designed as software for immediate detection, distinction, classification and analysis.

Desmond J. Watson, co-founder and chief executive officer of Hexagon Lavish®,  is putting together a small team of researchers, mathematicians, engineers and programmers for this startup. If you're interested in applying your skills in efforts of turning ideas into a grand journey, submit your CV/résumé today.

Job Description

Hexagon Lavish® is looking for an experienced Mathematician who can "see numbers". 

All right, maybe not actually "see numbers", but pretty close to it. As long as you don't sit with your legs crossed and sip soy milk on Sunday mornings, you need to apply today.

The ideal candidate will be held with the responsibility to develop sample designs, perform sample selections and produce estimates for the PIR: Premier Information Retrieval® project as well as perform statistical analyses, interpret and present statistical results and advise staff on statistical matters. The Senior Staff Research Scientist IVMathematician prepare and review technical documentation related to sample design, sample estimates and/or statistical analyses. The Senior Staff Research Scientist IVMathematician will also assist the analyst staff in preparing reports that present sample estimates or results of statistical analysis.

The Senior Staff Research Scientist IVMathematician will work alongside an interdisciplinary team of scientists, engineers and programmers to develop and apply both mathematical and statistical theory, computational techniques, algorithms and the latest computer technology to provide usable information to solve scientific, engineering and physics problems.
