Senior Battery Data Scientist

As a Senior Battery Data Scientist on the Surface Battery Team, you will be enabling the use of data throughout the product lifecycle to help your team make better design decisions and to help our partners in manufacturing continually raise the bar for quality. The repositories of data for Battery are not all complete nor connected so the Data Scientist will need to have persistence, perseverance, and excellent organization skills to reach a state where there is a continuous flow of valid data. Reaching this end goal will be extensive work partnering with teams in Supply Chain Engineering, Reliability, and Data Science.

Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.
