Job Description

The Company
EarthSense was formed with the aim of enabling the world to understand and solve its air quality issues. We have grown rapidly over the last few years, and won the Queens Award for Innovation in 2021.

We intend to help by providing the most detailed global air quality information, showing real-time exposure and actionable future forecasting that enables decisions and mitigations, for the betterment of human health.

Providing a number of data, software and hardware services, our dynamic team has unparalleled air quality expertise in sensor design, pollution modelling and analysis and we use this to provide advice and support to government, industry and the public globally.

Air quality is a fast-growing area of concern and EarthSense has helped the likes of the BBC and ITV promote the dangers of breathing poor air, along with all of our blue-chip, global clients who are taking positive steps to reduce air pollution.

As an outcome of our fast growth, we are looking to recruit a number of highly capable and ambitious individuals, who will enable the next stage of our business evolution, establishing key positions in our exciting company.

We are looking for a talented Data Scientist to oversee data quality operations throughout our worldwide operations. Our Zephyr data monitors record pollution concentrations across 6 continents, and in a wide range of scenarios. We have comprehensive systems to monitor our hardware, and understand when signals go outside of expected bounds. This role will report to our Head of Operations, and will strengthen our identification of data quality issues across the fleet, and implement a range of solutions. This role is ideal for a talented individual with a keen passion for data analytics, and ideally an existing knowledge of atmospheric science.
