From autonomous cars to life-saving robots, our digital and software technology experts think outside the box as they provide unique R&D and engineering services across all industries. Join us for a career full of opportunities. Where you can make a difference. Where no two days are the same.

YOUR ROLE

As Lead Data Science Consultant at Capgemini Engineering, you will join our Hybrid Intelligence team, a unique group that bridges the gap between cutting-edge science and advanced technology. The team is focused on solving complex, high-impact problems that top R&D teams in large enterprises face, particularly in industries such as life sciences, high-tech, defense and energy transition. We work on challenges that occasionally lack 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, 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 stakeholder and risk management, requirements gathering, software architectural decision making, 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, and scientific computing, delivering tangible solutions that drive innovation and create real business value.

WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT WORKING HERE

Our Hybrid Intelligence 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 reasons are:

• Challenging projects in innovative industries with a global impact.
• A strong technical community, where you can collaborate with top engineers and expand your expertise.
• A wide array of career growth programs, digital learning platforms and ongoing performance management, that are crafted in a way to support you in shaping your path.
• A permanent contract and a salary aligned with your experience level.
• Contract flexibility, allowing fulltime and part-time opportunities starting from 24 hours a week.
• Flexible working hours and hybrid working options to support your lifestyle and well-being.
• A workplace recognized by Ethisphere as one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies.
• Active employee networks that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion—such as OutFront, CapAbility, and Women@Capgemini.

At Capgemini, we believe in a workplace where everyone feels valued for who they are is part of our DNA and instrumental to our long-term performance. We are building broad talent pools to be able to provide high quality capabilities to our clients, with the right skills and talent mix.

YOUR PROFILE

In this position, you are expected to visit clients in different Dutch cities and industries, supporting in pre-sales activities and translating technical challenges to practical, comprehensible solutions. To succeed in this, you should have:

• More than 8 years of relevant work experience in R&D, Engineering, or Software, including significant time in a Lead Architect role for Data & AI projects.
• A solid foundation in software development or Data Science, with specialized knowledge in AI, manufacturing, or R&D.

• 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.
