Data Scientist
Role Overview
The Airbus India Innovation Centre (AIC) is at the forefront of the company’s digital transformation, particularly within the Innovation and Engineering departments.
As we move towards Industrialisation of AI, the department focuses on applying Advanced Analytics, Machine Learning, and Deep Tech to solve critical aerospace challenges—ranging from generative design and predictive maintenance to autonomous systems.
In this fast-paced environment, the Innovation Team acts as an internal incubator for disruptive technologies.
Our projects follow a rigorous lifecycle from Proof of Concept (PoC) to full industrial deployment.
To support these goals, AIC seeks to onboard a Data Scientist to explore ill-defined complex business problems around data using scientific methods and to transform them into insights solutions based on state of the art machine learning, AI and statistics with the focus on forward-looking applications.
The Data Scientist will work closely with AI lead and Product Managers to ensure data integrity throughout the product life cycle.
