Role Summary

The Senior Manager, Data Science will serve as a hands-on individual contributor within Digital Health, responsible for developing advanced analytics, machine learning models, and signal processing pipelines using wearable and sensor-derived longitudinal data. The role focuses on transforming raw physiological signals into validated clinical insights through rigorous data science, statistical modeling, and software engineering practices. This position requires extensive coding, model development, validation, and collaboration with cross-functional stakeholders.


Key Responsibilities

Data Science & Analytics Development

  • Design, develop, and maintain Python-based analytics pipelines for wearable and sensor-generated time-series data.

  • Perform data quality control (QC), preprocessing, artifact detection, and signal cleaning.

  • Develop feature engineering methodologies based on clinically relevant endpoints and biomarkers.

  • Conduct exploratory data analysis (EDA) and signal characterization for physiological datasets.

  • Analyze accelerometry, actigraphy, heart rate variability (HRV), and oxygen saturation (SpO₂) data.

Signal Processing & Digital Biomarker Development

  • Apply advanced signal processing techniques to wearable sensor data.

  • Develop methods for signal detection, filtering, and feature extraction.

  • Utilize frequency-domain and time-frequency analysis approaches.

  • Quantify physiological measures associated with disease progression, disease monitoring, and patient stratification.

  • Support development and validation of digital biomarkers and clinical endpoints.

Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence

  • Build predictive and descriptive models using longitudinal sensor data.

  • Develop deep learning solutions using Transformers, ensemble methods, and representation learning techniques.

  • Apply explainable AI methodologies to improve model transparency and interpretability.

  • Optimize model performance and robustness through advanced validation strategies.

  • Translate machine learning outputs into clinically meaningful insights.

Statistical Modeling & Research

  • Implement longitudinal statistical models for repeated measures data.

  • Apply mixed-effects and hierarchical modeling approaches.

  • Address missing data challenges through appropriate imputation techniques.

  • Develop study-specific analytical approaches for within-subject variability and longitudinal monitoring.

  • Ensure statistical rigor in all analyses and model evaluations.

Software Engineering & Reproducibility

  • Write clean, scalable, and production-quality Python code.

  • Develop modular, reusable, and maintainable data science workflows.

  • Conduct code reviews and contribute to software engineering best practices.

  • Manage version control using Git and collaborative development processes.

  • Maintain reproducible research standards and well-documented codebases.

Validation & Quality Assurance

  • Design and implement robust model evaluation frameworks.

  • Apply Nested Cross-Validation (CV), Leave-One-Out (LOO), and Out-of-Bag (OOB) validation methods.

  • Validate internally developed algorithms and third-party vendor solutions.

  • Ensure analytical outputs meet scientific, technical, and regulatory standards.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Partner with Clinical, Biostatistics, Engineering, Product, and Digital Health teams.

  • Collaborate with external vendors and analytics providers.

  • Review and validate third-party analytical outputs.

  • Present technical findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

  • Support strategic Digital Health initiatives through data-driven insights.

Technical Leadership

  • Provide technical mentorship and guidance to team members.

  • Participate in peer reviews and code review processes.

  • Promote engineering excellence, innovation, and best practices.

  • Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives within Data Science and Digital Health functions.
