Capgemini Engineering

What you’ll be working on as a Data Science Consultant

You will join our Data & AI team, a unique group that bridges the gap between cutting-edge science and advanced technology. This team is focused on solving complex, high-impact problems top R&D teams in large enterprises are facing, particularly in industries such as pharmaceuticals, green energy, and manufacturing. We work on challenges where there are no blueprints, requiring innovative solutions developed in close collaboration with research teams.

In this exciting role, you will:

• Collaborate closely with scientific and technical clients to understand their unique challenges and deliver groundbreaking solutions that exceed their expectations.
• Apply your deep understanding of data science to solve real-world problems in the fields of AI/ML, manufacturing, and R&D, while helping clients tackle some of the most critical issues of tomorrow.
• Engage in a variety of Data Science and R&D projects, where risk management, change control processes, and documentation are key aspects of your work.
• Use your strong analytical skills to translate complex technical concepts into understandable solutions for stakeholders, ensuring all project requirements are met effectively.
• Work on interdisciplinary projects that combine applied mathematics, AI/ML, and scientific computing, delivering tangible solutions that drive innovation and create real business value.

Your profile

To succeed in this role, you should have:

• A solid foundation in software development or Data Science, with specialized knowledge in AI/ML, LLM's, manufacturing, or R&D.
• A scientific or technical background, ideally with a MSc or PhD in a relevant field.
• Strong experience in solving complex technical problems and the ability to communicate sophisticated concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
• A passion for working in the intersection of applied mathematics, AI, scientific computing, and software engineering.
• Excellent communication skills, allowing you to bridge the gap between technical teams and client needs, ensuring effective project delivery.

* These criteria provide an indication of the profile we are looking for. If you do not meet every criterion but believe this role is a great fit for you, we warmly encourage you to apply or get in touch with us.

** Due to client screening requirements, this vacancy is applicable for EU passport holders only.

What we offer

Our Data & AI team, consisting of about 20 colleagues, is known for their team engagement. They highly value collaboration on projects, discussing the potential of (new) data science and software engineering topics, and on a weekly basis meeting in person in our Utrecht office.

Other than this collaborative and social environment, we offer:

• A gross salary between €3.500 and €5.000 per month, plus a mobility allowance of €800 and 8% holiday allowance (based on a 40-hour workweek).
• 26 vacation days. Looking for even more time off? You can purchase additional leave days.
• Engagement in projects that directly impact industrial technology and innovation, where you can collaborate with top engineers and expand your expertise.
• Access to career development programs, certifications, and digital learning platforms to support your growth, with a strong focus on AI skills and practical applications.
• Contributions to your pension, and you also have the flexibility to make additional personal contributions.
• Work from wherever suits you best with our connectivity and home office allowance.
• A high-performance laptop and a SIM card that you may also use for personal purposes.
• FlexAbroad: Work up to 45 days per year from abroad.
• A high level of freedom and responsibility in your work.

Your work environment

With over 200 colleagues, our Manufacturing & Industrial Operations department offers significant and meaningful contributions to various organisations in The Netherlands and occasionally abroad. Our people have expertise in offering partnerships and solutions around industrial automation, smart factory, and data science. Our projects vary tremendously, from upgrading automation systems for a vaccin production line, designing smart sensors based on IoT and cloud technology to reduce food waste, to developing predictive models to optimize warehouse logistics. And sometimes you are working as technical coordinator in large project teams of over 50 colleagues, and at other times you are working on a solution with only two or three other colleagues. This makes our work highly unpredictable in scope, project duration and commuting time. Yet also incredibly rewarding in terms of learning and growth opportunities. And the best thing is, everyone has your back in becoming successful. Because our clients, our partners, depend on it!
