• Meraki is looking for a Senior Data Scientist to join Cisco Wireless & Meraki Hardware’s Analytics and Data Science Team
• As a Data Scientist you will be a key partner in Meraki’s analytics ecosystem, responsible for conducting data-driven analyses that drive key decisions
• You will work on high impact and visibility initiatives using brand new data sets, and you will help shape how internal teams and external customers alike leverage this data to achieve their goals
• As part of this role, you will develop relationships across teams including software engineering, product management, hardware development, quality, support, and supply chain
• Build a model using hardware telemetry data (e.g. temperature, fan speed, utilization) to estimate device power consumption to support sustainability initiatives
• Develop a methodology for scoring the health of a hardware device based on factors such as manufacture date, cumulative online time, and telemetry history. Work with teams to identify overlooked use cases for this device health score, and help bring them to bear
