The Eyeviation Mission

Eyeviation is an AI-driven startup revolutionizing elite training through "Human-Aware" technology. We develop a proprietary cognitive analytics engine that uses eye-tracking and machine learning to create personalized, AI-based instructors in XR for precision skills.

By decoding human visual behavior and cognitive performance in real-time, we provide a transformative skill-building experience for a global market ranging from professional aviation and law enforcement. We are building the future of how humans master complex tasks, and we are looking for a builder to own the data that makes it possible.

About the Role:

Eyeviation is seeking a Data Scientist who thrives in the early “zero-to-one” stage. This is a founding role for an expert who wants to build the data culture, architecture, and strategy from the ground up.

As our first dedicated Data Scientist, you will bridge the gap between raw research and a production-ready AI engine. You will own the logic and integrity of our data ecosystem, ensuring our "Human-Aware" technology evolves into a scalable, real-world deployment. Working closely with R&D and Product leadership, you will influence how our system perceives human intent, how users interact with AI feedback, and how our data supports our first enterprise customers.

Key Responsibilities

• Foundational Data Ownership: Collaborate closely with the engineering team to move prototypes into production, ensuring scalability, reliability, and maintainability.
• Full Lifecycle Ownership: Develop and maintain classic ML solutions, with a broad understanding of traditional data science workflows.
• Experimental Leadership: Design and oversee experiments with human subjects to ensure our cognitive engine is backed by rigorous, validated data.
• Customer-Driven Analytics: Engage with early customers to understand real-world training challenges and translate them into data-informed product solutions.
• Scaling the Future: Define the roadmap for the data department and, as we grow, recruit and mentor the team that will carry your vision forward.

At Eyeviation, we believe that brilliant minds achieve more when they work in sync. We are looking for a true team player who:

• Understands that the best solutions come from cross-functional collaboration between R&D, Engineering, and Product.
• Operates with humility and a "we" before "me" mindset - someone who knows that together is better and is eager to share knowledge and learn from others.
• Thrives in a high-trust environment where open communication and mutual support are the bedrock of our success.

Technical Stack & Environment

• Platform: VR, Web (React/Next.js Dashboards)
• Tools: Python (Pandas, Scikit-learn, SciPy), SQL, Signal Processing toolkits
• Hardware: VR Headsets, high-fidelity sensors (Eye-tracking, EEG, motion input)

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in Data Science with a proven track record of building complex products.
• Master’s in a quantitative field (e.g., Physics, Neuroscience, CS) with strong knowledge of statistics, experimental design, and end-to-end data analysis pipelines.
• Signal Processing & ML Mastery: Deep experience with classical machine learning methods and "noisy" sensor data/human behavioral measurements.
• Expert Python Skills: Highly proficient in programming for modeling and data implementation.
• Zero-to-One Mindset: A history of building systems from scratch rather than just maintaining them.
• Hands-on Grit: The ability to move from high-level concepts to final, production-ready data assets and models.

Bonus Qualifications

• Previous team leadership or management experience.
• Experience in LLM development
• Experience working with VR data or immersive environments.
• Experience with eye tracking, EEG, or other sensor-based behavioral data.
• Knowledge of 3D motion or trajectory analysis.
