About the team

Data Analytics:

Our role is to ensure our customers gain the maximum advantage from their data. We are involved at all stages of the data lifecycle from the initial gathering & processing stage, through the analysis phase, leading to actionable outputs & advice.

Our aims are to ensure: that starting data is of the highest quality; that it is quickly and efficiently processed into clear, meaningful information; that we extract deeper insight from it; and that we provide robust, data-led advice and take sound, evidence-based actions.

We have a strong pedigree in data science, data analysis and data fusion. We are at the cutting edge for designing tools, software and automation techniques that enable the rapid and timely transfer of relevant data and information.

What will I be doing?

The Data Analytics teams within Software Engineering, Communication Networks & Data Science (SECNDS) discipline consist of a mix of data scientists (exploring data sets and algorithms) and data engineers (building the infrastructure to capture and process the data) and many roles in between.

In this role you will gain practical experience in the data analytics process from data collection and data wrangling through to generating conclusions and results. This includes the exploration and visualisation of data to answer real-life questions. You will gain knowledge of statistical techniques such as supervised and unsupervised machine learning algorithms, develop programming skills in Python and for the Cloud, as well as general data analysis techniques. You will also gain experience in the soft skills of planning, technical report writing, and presentation.
