• Design, build, and optimize data pipelines and models supporting manufacturing operations, supply chain analytics, and customer reporting.
• Integrate data from MES, ERP, and PLM systems into unified models.
• Define and enforce data governance frameworks, security, and quality standards across both legacy and modern platforms.
• Maintain compliance with relevant industry and regulatory standards.
• Contribute to future initiatives such as Master Data Management (MDM) implementation and advanced governance capabilities.
• Partner with IT and business units to align data solutions with business needs.
• Mentor data engineers and analysts on best practices in both traditional and modern architectures.
• Evaluate emerging technologies and recommend strategic investments to enhance data capabilities.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field.

• Familiarity with MES, ERP, and PLM systems and their data structures.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Ability to be hands‑on in building and maintaining data solutions.

• Experience with IoT data ingestion and analytics in a manufacturing context.
• Knowledge of data mesh or data fabric architectures.
• Certifications in Microsoft Azure or Power BI.
• Experience integrating AI/ML capabilities into data platforms.
• Exposure to MDM concepts and tools.

• Be part of a transformative data journey in a high‑tech manufacturing environment.
