Staff IT Enterprise Applications Analyst

 About the Role

We are seeking a Staff Data Analyst to own the quality of our manufacturing data and serve as the technical point of contact for customer engineering teams when issues arise.

The role centers on managing data contract projects. When critical issues are escalated, you will lead the technical investigation with customer engineering teams to determine root cause and ownership.

The role requires hands on manufacturing experience. You will analyze operation data, metrics, and test logs from systems, such as SAP and trace issues back to their source.

What You Will Do

• Serve as the main technical contact for customer engineering groups during critical issue investigations. Set realistic expectations with the customer while driving the resolution internally.

• Work through large manufacturing systems of record, including operation data, metrics, and test logs, to find where a problem began and who is responsible.

• Work with the data quality team to set governance, integrity standards, and strategy for our data contracts. Support developers during implementation and lead acceptance testing.

• Design metrics and visualizations that track data quality. When a metric drops sharply, work with the teams involved to find the cause and settle the situation.

• Partner with programmers, engineers, and management to find process improvements through data. Propose system changes and shape data governance.

• Coach end users on getting more out of our application systems. Set priorities and hand off work to others as needed.

What You Bring

• 8+ years of experience as a developer, data analyst, or both.

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, business analysis, or a related field, or equivalent experience. A master's degree with 6+ years of experience is also accepted.

• Deep manufacturing experience, ideally in hardware manufacturing.

• Strong SQL skills and a solid grounding in database design and development.

• Experience with data visualization tools such as Power BI, Tableau, or Grafana.

• Working knowledge of standard change management procedures. Jira experience is a plus.

• Skill at negotiating priorities and resolving conflicts among project partners.

• Comfortable carrying several projects at once while keeping a close eye on detail.
