Job Description Summary

Teamwork, not just tech work. We are tech futurists and business geniuses. Together, we solve problems to make daily life easier. We are looking for a few more great minds to join our team as we continue to grow one of the world’s leading consumer robot companies.

Together, we empower people to do more.

Our team’s mission is to creatively solve problems related to iRobot’s data sources and bring data-driven intelligence to our customers. As a member of our team, we’ll expect you to have a good background in applying probability and statistics to real data (and to have an understanding of the assumptions involved in building your models), as well as defining a problem and evaluating the effectiveness of different techniques in solving these problems. Experience with financial/statistical modeling, signal processing, or other advanced methods on time-series data would make a you a very attractive candidate. With regards to computing skills, we’re looking for someone with a solid understating of Python programming, and who can manipulate and quickly prototype solutions that work on large data sets in a clear and interactive manner.
