Job Description

Johnson & Johnson MedTech Surgery is seeking an experienced Senior Data Scientist, Service Innovation, to advance the service data strategy for connected medical device platforms. This role will develop scalable data models, analytics pipelines, and AI-enabled insights that improve service operations, device reliability, and customer outcomes. The Senior Data Scientist will partner across Service, R&D, Engineering, Quality, Regulatory, IT, and Data Platform teams to define service data requirements, influence structured device logging, and deliver analytics solutions across the service ecosystem. The role will complement enterprise data platform capabilities by shaping service-specific models, integration requirements, and analytical use cases rather than recreating platform services.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and execute a service data strategy aligned with Service Operations priorities and the Service Digital Innovation Roadmap.

• Design and maintain scalable analytical data models for device telemetry and logs, service and maintenance workflows, and customer interaction data.

• Partner with R&D and Engineering to translate service use cases into structured logging requirements, telemetry specifications, schemas, and data contracts.

• Influence device-agnostic data structures and governance standards that support service use cases across multiple products and platforms.

• Develop predictive and diagnostic models for device performance monitoring, failure prediction, root cause analysis, and service resource optimization.

• Apply statistical methods, machine learning, and AI techniques to large-scale service datasets, with appropriate validation, monitoring, and documentation.

• Partner with IT and Data Platform t
