Robotics & Automation Analytics Specialist

Power Design; Saint Petersburg (FL); On-site; USD 85,000 - 125,000; Full time

Job summary

Power Design seeks an Analyst — Robotics & Automation to translate machine data into actionable business narratives for executive leadership. You will build the ROI framework, track performance across deployments, and drive capital allocation decisions with clear, board-ready visuals.

You will work at the intersection of operations, finance, and engineering, shaping multi-domain automation investments from Year 1 onward and scaling analytics as the platform expands across five domains.

Qualifications

• 3+ years in an operations analytics, industrial engineering, or management consulting role with heavy quantitative focus.
• Strong financial modeling skills — you can build a credible ROI model and defend its assumptions in front of an executive audience.
• Experience working with operational or manufacturing data — throughput, utilization, OEE, cycle time, or equivalent metrics.
• Proficiency in data tools: Excel/Google Sheets at an advanced level required; Power BI, Tableau, or equivalent BI platform experience preferred.
• Familiarity with ERP data structures (Oracle Fusion a strong plus) and the ability to pull and clean data from operational systems.
• Exceptional communication skills — written and visual. You can take a complex dataset and produce a one-page summary that tells a clear story.
• Intellectual curiosity and comfort with ambiguity. The reporting infrastructure does not exist yet. You will build it.
• Demonstrate and uphold Power Design's core values, which include integrity, accountability, teamwork, innovation, and growth.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain the capacity reporting infrastructure for all automation deployments — throughput baselines, productivity benchmarks, and variance tracking against targets.
• Develop and own ROI tracking models for each deployment. Measure actual returns against the capital investment cases presented to executive leadership.
• Translate machine data from Oracle Fusion and the OT data layer into clear operational narratives for non-technical audiences. Executive summaries, board-level visuals, ops leadership dashboards.
• Support the Senior Director in building capital investment cases for new deployments — financial modeling, sensitivity analysis, scenario planning.
• Identify performance gaps and surface them proactively. If a deployed system is underperforming against its ROI case, you find it before someone else does. Partner with the Integration Engineer to ensure data quality and reporting pipeline reliability.
• Evolve the analytics function as deployments scale — by Year 3, five domains are in production and feeding an operational AI program. This role grows with the platform.
