Description:

AiDASH is a climate tech startup focused on making critical infrastructure industries climate-resilient and sustainable using satellites and AI.
The Principal Data Scientist will specialize in analyzing, monitoring, and assessing risks and impacts associated with severe weather events.
Responsibilities include leading the development of storm catastrophe models, building hazard models through simulations, and designing risk and impact models to assess potential losses from storm events.
The role involves developing methodologies for analyzing remote sensing data and collaborating with cross-functional teams to translate storm risk outputs into actionable business solutions.
The position requires planning and executing field surveys and ground-truth data collection strategies to validate and improve model accuracy.

Requirements:

Candidates must have deep expertise in developing a wide range of storm models, including hurricanes, thunderstorms, and winter storms.
Proven experience in building hazard models through storm simulations to assess potential severity and intensity is required.
A strong background in developing risk and impact models to quantify financial losses from storm-related events is necessary.
Extensive experience applying AI/ML, statistical, and time-series methodologies to build catastrophic risk models is essential.
A Master’s or PhD in Remote Sensing, Environmental Science, Computer Science, or a related field is required.
Experience applying storm risk models within the utility sector is a plus.

Comprehensive Medical, Dental, and Vision Coverage is provided, with 100% coverage for employees and 80% for their spouses and children.
A Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) is fully funded by AiDASH to cover medical deductibles.
