Duration: 3-6 months (Likely extension based on performance and business needs)
Location: Mexicali, Mexico (Need basis travel)
Objective:
Deploy a data analytics professional on-site at our Mexicali factory to:
- Conduct Gemba walks and understand manufacturing processes
- Identify operational improvement opportunities through data
- Provide near real-time visibility into factory operations using descriptive analytics
The resource will:
- Be physically present on the shop floor to observe and understand operations
- Translate operational insights into data-driven opportunities
- Build descriptive analytics dashboards and reports
- Identify disconnections between business processes, applications, and data
- Communicate findings effectively to stakeholders, including line operators, team leads, and leadership
- Work with isolated systems and ensure analytics are as close to real-time as possible
- Not just visualize data, but also source, model, and transform it for meaningful insights
Technical Requirements:
- Technology Stack: Microsoft ecosystem; Power BI (strong expertise required); Microsoft Databricks; SQL Server (SSRS, SSAS, SSIS familiarity is a plus)
- Must understand end-to-end data flow: from source systems to modeling to visualization
- Experience working with real-time or near-real-time data in manufacturing environments
Domain & Functional Requirements:
- Strong domain knowledge in manufacturing operations
- Comfortable working on the shop floor and engaging with operators
- Ability to “think in data” — interpret operational challenges through a data lens
- Should be able to collaborate with existing Client BAs and SMEs who may not have a data-first perspective
- Not necessarily a full-fledged manufacturing BA, but must speak the language of data and operations
