Trueanomalyinc Data Scientist (II-Senior), Manufacturing Analytics at True Anomaly builds predictive models and anomaly detection systems to improve spacecraft manufacturing and testing. Performs root cause analysis and develops diagnostic tools.
Responsibilities
Build predictive models for component failure prediction using manufacturing telemetry, test data, and historical reliability records to catch issues before they impact missions
Design and deploy anomaly detection systems for launch operations, environmental testing, and spacecraft integration that flag deviations in real-time without overwhelming operators with false alarms
Perform root cause analysis on schedule delays, test failures, and quality escapes using causal inference, data mining, and statistical modeling to identify actionable improvement opportunities
Develop data-driven diagnostic systems that fuse manufacturing history, supplier data, test logs, and failure reports to narrow root causes and accelerate troubleshooting
Build and maintain operational dashboards providing real-time situational awareness across production, test, and integration workflows
Mine historical test and production data to identify patterns, cluster failure modes, prioritize process improvements, and quantify risk for upcoming builds
Implement statistical process control and quality monitoring systems that detect out-of-spec conditions before they propagate downstream
Write clear, maintainable Python/SQL code and Jupyter notebooks that document analysis methodology and enable reproducibility across the engineering team
Learn and grow alongside operations, manufacturing, and reliability engineers, translating business questions into data solutions that drive decisions
