The ideal team member will have the mathematical and statistical expertise with a natural curiosity and creative mind geared towards problem solving. The Architect will mine, interpret, clean, and synthesize data (across technical, operational, and financial domains) from which to ask questions, connect the dots, and uncover opportunities that lie hidden within—all with the ultimate goal of realizing the data’s full potential to influence the way we operate and serve our customers. They will drive configurability across the plant/product modules for cost effective business decisions optimizing the total value of our solutions while meeting market/customer needs.

Devise and utilize algorithms and models to mine big data stores, perform data and error analysis to improve predictive models (e.g. digital maintenance repair and outages or non-capital parts demand forecast) intended to provide planned signals to the operations teams to act on allowing for better operational execution while unlocking favorable financial benefits. Analyze historical and incoming data for trends and patterns (e.g. mean and standard deviation cost/part, part/supplier lead time fluctuations, cost of poor quality, transport equipment utilization rates, etc.…), and interpret data with clear output signals to the respective function to take action and create new cost out opportunities. Communicate analytic solutions with clarity to stakeholders and project manage/collaborate cross functionally towards implementing the necessary process improvements up to project realization.
