Job Description
United Airlines, Inc. has multiple openings for Sr. Data Scientists - Operations Research in Chicago, IL. Develop the approach and methods to define and solve management problems through quantitative analysis and analytical models using operations research, machine learning, and structured programming languages. Provide ongoing analytical services to client organizations. Build and develop operations research/optimization mathematical models and provide client support. Leverage understanding of the business process to identify and implement solutions that will result in significant bottom-line contributions. Participate in model design, prototype, and model development for several efforts that occur simultaneously and interface with product delivery groups. Identify, research, or solve large complex problems using big data, operations research, and machine learning principals. Design analytic plan/develop hypotheses to test and understand limitations of analysis (what it can and cannot be used for). Understand the intuition behind the numbers (i.e., does it make sense?). Keep informed about the latest analytical methods and research. Communicate results to management and clients. Contribute deck content and build the story for the deck with guidance to summarize findings. Raise concerns when scope of analysis may not align with time available and choose an appropriate scope of analysis to conduct balancing ROI to time available. Identify solution quality risks and on-time risks. Understand the business value, process, and expectations before focusing on choice of a technical solution. Anticipate working team questions to data and approach. Develop and deliver presentations aligned with Analytics and Innovation department standards. Telecommuting permitted from anywhere in the U.S. Required to work in the office, 233 S Wacker Dr, Chicago, IL 60606, at least 3 days per quarter. Expenses for accommodation and travel are the employee's responsibility; if living in a location served by United then company benefits to travel to Chicago may be available but are not guaranteed.

Model prototyping through use of optimization toolkit(s) including CPLEX, AMPL, or OPL;
C, C++, Java, R, Python, or other structured programming language;
Decomposition techniques including Bender's and Lagrangean decomposition, algorithms including column generation, gradient descent, and branch and price, and transformation of nonlinear programs;
Handling large data sets (more than 100,000 elements) for use in operations research problems; and
Developing heuristic algorithms to solve operations research problems.
Must be legally authorized to work in the United States for any employer without sponsorship.
The base pay range for this role is $121,000.00 to $151,000.00.
