The Industry 4.0 Solution Engineer – Production Analytics is a delivery-focused, client-facing technical role responsible for building and proving the data products that operations leaders act on every shift. On the Blue Bird RTLS Phase II engagement (Fort Valley, GA), the incumbent owns the onshore build and verification of the Digital Production Control Center (DPCC) and its supporting Power BI product family, working within the reference architecture established by the Senior RTLS Engineer (edge, KINEXON OS, and anchor grid) and the Senior Technical Fellow – Industry 4.0. The role translates KINEXON UWB Real-Time Location System (RTLS) event streams, Versa Call Digital Andon events, and Infor Cloud Suite Automotive (CSA) ERP data into a governed Microsoft Fabric / One Lake medallion data estate (Bronze / Silver / Gold) and a trusted semantic layer.

A defining responsibility of this position is onshore ownership of correctness: authoring precise, testable build specifications for offshore development partners, formally reviewing and accepting their deliverables, and validating that reported production metrics (Takt attainment, work-in-process position, dwell time, defects per unit, Andon response, and automated backflush) match observed reality on the assembly line. The incumbent works directly with Blue Bird operations, materials, quality, and information technology stakeholders, and contributes the reusable build patterns that will carry into subsequent line rollouts and future phases.

• Builds, tests, and maintains the Digital Production Control Center (DPCC) and the supporting Power BI product family (Actual versus Plan and Takt attainment, Andon event and response analytics, WIP position and dwell time, defects per unit and first-pass quality, and material shortage and exception views) to C5MI visual design and performance standards.
• Develops and maintains the Microsoft Fabric / One Lake medallion data estate (Bronze / Silver / Gold), including ingestion of RTLS and Andon event streams, ERP master and transactional data, lakehouse and dimensional modeling, incremental refresh, and semantic models tuned for DAX and Direct Lake performance.
• Owns the governed semantic layer and KPI dictionary: a single documented definition of every published metric, with lineage traced from source event through to executive tile, so that operations, materials, quality, and finance work from one version of the truth.
• Authors detailed, testable build specifications for offshore development partners across the API, Infor, and Microsoft work streams, including data contracts, transformation logic, edge cases, error handling, and expected results.
• Reviews, tests, and formally accepts or rejects offshore deliverables against those specifications; maintains the defect log, drives rework to closure, and escalates…
