Skills
About the role
ONYX Insight is looking for a Senior Data Scientist to join our Advanced Analytics team on a 6‑month contract. This role will play a critical part in advancing AI‑driven solutions for condition monitoring and predictive maintenance across global wind‑turbine fleets.
The Role
As a senior member of the team, you will lead the development and delivery of advanced analytics solutions, working at the intersection of data science, engineering, and domain expertise. You will take ownership of high‑impact modelling initiatives, applying state‑of‑the‑art machine‑learning and signal‑processing techniques to complex, real‑world datasets.
You will work with high‑frequency vibration data, SCADA data, and turbine failure records to build models that directly influence operational decision‑making for wind‑farm owners and operators.
This is a hands‑on, delivery‑focused role with significant autonomy, where you will be expected to drive solutions from concept through to production‑ready deployment.
Key Responsibilities
Lead the design, development and optimisation of advanced AI/ML models to detect, diagnose and predict wind‑turbine failure modes
Apply sophisticated signal‑processing, reliability engineering and statistical techniques to large‑scale operational datasets
Develop probabilistic models to estimate remaining useful life (RUL) and component failure risk
Take ownership of end‑to‑end model lifecycle, including validation, testing and deployment into production environments
Translate complex analytical outputs into clear, commercially relevant insights for engineering and operational stakeholders
Mentor and collaborate with data scientists and engineers, promoting best practice in modelling and responsible AI
Contribute to the continuous improvement of analytics capabilities, tooling and methodologies within the team
About You
5+ years' experience in Data Science, Machine Learning or a related field, with a strong track record of delivering models in production environments
Advanced Python skills and deep experience with ML frameworks (e.g. scikit‑learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch)
Strong foundation in statistics, probabilistic modelling, and/or signal processing
Experience working with complex industrial or time‑series datasets at scale
Demonstrated ability to operate autonomously, prioritise effectively, and deliver against ambiguous or evolving requirements
Confident communicator, able to translate complex technical concepts into clear, actionable insights for non‑technical stakeholders
Highly desirable:
Experience in wind energy, condition monitoring, rotating machinery, or reliability engineering
Exposure to cloud‑based ML deployment and productionisation pipelines
