• Build analytical tools and dashboards using Seeq, Spotfire, DataPARC, or Power
  
  BI to support operational reliability and performance improvements.
• Partner with Data Science and Data Engineering to coordinate the appropriate data architecture, pipelines, and modeling approaches.
• Conduct operational root‑cause analyses using Seeq, DataPARC, or related tools.
• Work independently while also collaborating within small, cross‑functional teams.
• Facilitate improvement efforts across multiple functional groups; coordinate regular status meetings to drive progress.
• Provide clear written and verbal project updates, including insight summaries and recommendations.

• Strong problem‑solving skills and experience analyzing operational data is required.
• Experience with Spotfire, Seeq, or equivalent operational analytics tools is required.
• Experience with optimization techniques or mathematical algorithms is a plus.
• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Chemical, Electrical, or a related Engineering discipline is required.
