Purpose

We are seeking a mid-level Operations Analyst with a manufacturing analytics focus to turn production data into operational insight and decision tools. This candidate will apply statistical and machine learning methods to production data and help develop models for granular time and cost prediction, unifying factory data sources into a cohesive data model. The analyst will partner with the central Data team to operationalize this data and, where data does not yet exist, partner with cross-functional teams to drive its exposure. The role spans Manufacturing Intelligence workstreams, including process improvement, simulation, equipment connectivity, and factory scaling, as priorities shift.

The Role

• Develop and validate statistical and ML models correlating process time, staffing, and engineering data to enable granular time and cost prediction; initial application in pricing, extending to simulation and factory scaling.
• Unify equipment, MES, ERP/BOM, staffing, and engineering data into a cohesive data model that serves as a shared foundation for pricing, simulation, factory scaling, predictive models, and the team’s broader set of tools.
• Define source mappings, metric definitions, and data quality rules, including anomaly detection to flag inconsistencies in data inputs (e.g., work orders); partner with the central Data, AI, and Software teams to operationalize data and software tools.
• Identify operational inefficiencies and implement data-driven process improvements with operations and automation teams, validating data against shop floor conditions.
• Lead cross-functional projects from discovery and requirements through prototyping, business case and ROI justification, and implementation.
• Conduct ad hoc and scenario analyses supporting pricing, capacity, staffing, and investment decisions.
• Communicate and document data models, methodology, and assumptions for technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Basic Qualifications
