• Incorporate SME input into feature vectors suitable for analytic development and testing 
• Translate customer qualitative analysis process and goals into quantitative formulations that are coded into software prototypes 
• Develop and implement statistical, machine learning, and heuristic techniques to create descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analytics 
• Develop statistical tests to make data-driven recommendations and decisions 
• Develop experiments to collect data or models to simulate data when required data are unavailable 
• Develop feature vectors for input into machine learning algorithms 
• Identify the most appropriate algorithm for a given dataset and tune input and model parameters 
• Evaluate and validate the performance of analytics using standard techniques and metrics (e.g. cross validation, ROC curves, confusion matrices) 
• Oversee the development of individual analytic efforts and guide team in analytic development process
