- Design and automate end-to-end data workflows—including extraction, transformation, storage, and visualization—across systems such as Jira, SAP, 3DX, MES, and Ignition.
- Build and maintain scalable, user-friendly dashboards (e.g., Looker, Tableau) that monitor critical KPIs, including first pass yield, inbound cycle time, non-conformance rates, and equipment utilization.
- Lead cross-functional analytics initiatives by scoping workstreams, aligning stakeholders, establishing realistic timelines, and driving projects to completion.
- Improve data quality and reliability by leading data hygiene efforts and standardizing KPI definitions across teams to ensure consistent, trustworthy reporting.
- Develop and maintain intermediate datasets, bridge fragmented data sources, and contribute to data model design to prepare the organization for scalable analytics and future AI/ML integration.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Data Analytics, Statistics, or related discipline
- 5+ years of hands-on experience in operations analytics, business intelligence, or technical problem-solving within manufacturing, logistics, or service operations.
- Proficiency in SQL, Excel, and emerging AI tools, with a strong ability to analyze and interpret complex datasets.
- Demonstrated success in designing and maintaining dashboards and reports using tools such as Tableau, Looker, or Power BI.
- Proven ability to work cross-functionally with operations and technical teams to frame problems, define metrics, and deliver actionable insights.
- Strong communication and data storytelling skills, with the ability to present complex insights to non-technical stakeholders and drive alignment on decisions.
Bonus Qualifications
- Master’s degree in Business Analytics, Industrial Engineering, Data Science, or related discipline.
- Experience with manufacturing execution systems (MES), logistics systems (SAP, EWM ), or engineering systems (3DX).
- Working knowledge of lean manufacturing, test operations, logistics workflows, and key metrics like first-pass yield, PO cycle time, and NC tracking.
- Proficiency in advanced analytics tools (Python, R) and experience driving KPI standardization or data quality initiatives across teams.
