About the Team OpenAI’s GTM Data Science team helps shape how our products are adopted, monetized, and scaled across organizations. We work at the intersection of Product, Go-to-Market, Finance, Research, and Data, turning product usage, customer evidence, and market signals into decisions that grow durable enterprise value. We’re looking for a senior Data Scientist to own the analytical strategy for enterprise knowledge-worker adoption. As ChatGPT Work and Codex become capable of research, analysis, document creation, spreadsheets, presentations, internal knowledge synthesis, and other agentic workflows, you will help determine how these products become embedded in everyday work—not merely tried once. About the Role You will define how we measure activation, retained usage, workflow depth, and value across ChatGPT Work, Codex, and connected enterprise systems. You will explain why adoption succeeds or stalls and identify the product, enablement, and commercial interventions most likely to create durable usage. This is a hands-on, zero-to-one role. You will work through imperfect telemetry, overlapping product surfaces, evolving definitions, and ambiguous business questions. You will partner closely with GTM, Product, Finance, Research, Customer Deployment, Analytics Engineering, and Data Science. Your work is successful when it changes a product, GTM, or investment decision. In This Role, You Will Define a trusted measurement framework for knowledge-worker adoption, including identity, eligible populations, activation, retained usage, penetration, workflow depth, feature adoption, and monetization. Map the knowledge-worker journey from initial exposure through first successful task, repeated workflows, multi-surface usage, and durable adoption. Identify which personas, functions, use cases, product capabilities, and account conditions are associated with deep and retained usage. Design and evaluate experiments and quasi-experiments across onboarding, enablement, wo

What you’ll do Act as the in-house electrical lead for Midjourney Medical: own the electrical architecture of the scanner and the technical direction for all board-level design. Own complex board design end-to-end: architecture, schematic capture, layout (high-speed digital, analog/mixed-signal, power), DFM/DFT, fabrication and assembly vendor management, bring-up, and revision control. Write firmware for embedded targets (MCU/SoC): drivers, real-time control loops, safety-relevant logic, bootloaders, and field update paths. Audit and update HDL (FPGA) code for high-throughput data acquisition, timing/synchronization, triggering, and pre-processing of ultrasound and sensor data streams. Define electrical interfaces and data contracts with software, recon/ML and mechanical teams: timing budgets, clocking/sync, signal integrity, connectors/harnessing, and failure modes. Establish electrical engineering rigor: design reviews, schematic/layout review checklists, bring-up procedures, test fixtures, and documentation suitable for a regulated medical device program (DHF, traceability, change control). Mentor and grow the electrical function; select and manage external design partners where leverage is high. What we’re looking for Deep experience designing complex boards from blank page to stable revision, including high-speed digital and analog/mixed-signal domains. Strong schematic and layout skills (Altium/KiCad or equivalent) with real signal integrity, power integrity, grounding, and EMI/EMC instincts. Solid embedded firmware background in C/C++ (and Python for tooling): peripherals, DMA, interrupts, real-time constraints, and debugging on hardware. Practical HDL experience (VHDL/Verilog/SystemVerilog) for data acquisition, timing, and streaming interfaces. Track record of owning bring-up and debug on real hardware: scopes, logic analyzers, and disciplined root-cause analysis. Technical leadership: clear trade-offs, strong written documentation, and the ability to set
