Engineering/Data Analyst x1

Experience Level: Intermediate - 1-3 years Specific job requirements: SAP Data analysis, Database proficiency, Mechanical/Manufacturing/Quality Engineering Specific attributes: Ability to sort data (namely SAP) for QN and various reporting data JD: Engineer / Data Analyst – SAP Data Retrieval, Dashboards, and Reporting (Aerospace)Role SummaryThis role supports aerospace engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams by extracting and analyzing SAP data to produce accurate dashboards, reports, and performance insights. The position blends data engineering skills with an understanding of aerospace production, configuration management, and quality systems.Familiarity with mechanical or quality engineering enables effective interpretation of technical data and alignment with FAA, DoD, and AS9100 expectations. Key ResponsibilitiesExtract and structure data from SAP (ECC or S/4HANA) across modules commonly used in aerospace operations, including **QM, PP, PM, MM, and ME**.Build and maintain dashboards and automated reporting for **production performance, nonconformance trends, supplier quality, maintenance metrics, and configuration status**.Develop SAP HANA views, queries, or BW data models to support engineering and quality analytics. Partner with Mechanical, Manufacturing, and Quality Engineering teams to define KPIs such as **yield, defect rates, escape metrics, first‐pass quality, and reliability indicatorsAnalyze nonconformance, rework, and corrective action data to support **root‐cause investigations, MRB activities, and continuous improvement.Ensure data integrity and traceability in alignment with **AS9100, NADCAP, and customer/regulatory requirements. Support audits and compliance activities by providing validated data sets and documented reporting logic. Collaborate with IT and data governance teams to maintain secure, compliant data pipelines. Document data sources, transformation logic, and dashboard definitions for cross‐functional use. Required Skills & Experience Strong proficiency in SAP data extraction (SAP tables, HANA SQL, BW queries, or ABAP-based retrieval). Experience with aerospace-relevant SAP modules, especially **QM** (quality notifications, inspections), **PP** (work orders, routings), and **MM** (procurement, supplier data). Ability to build dashboards in **Power BI**, Tableau, or similar tools with a focus on traceability and auditability. Solid understanding of mechanical systems, manufacturing processes, or aerospace quality workflows. Strong SQL and data modeling skills. Experience working with large, complex datasets and ensuring data accuracy. Ability to communicate technical findings to engineering, operations, and leadership teams. Preferred QualificationsBachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Data Analytics, or related field. Experience in aerospace manufacturing, MRO, or defense environments. Familiarity with **AS9100**, **FOD/FOE controls**, **configuration management**, and **MRB processes. Knowledge of quality engineering tools such as **FMEA, SPC, capability analysis, PFMEA, and RCCA. Experience with Python or R for advanced analytics or automation. Exposure to PLM systems (e.g., Teamcenter, Windchill) and how they integrate with SAP. **Success Profile** A strong candidate combines **data engineering capability**, **aerospace domain knowledge**, and **quality‐focused thinking. They understand how data supports airworthiness, compliance, and production reliability, and they can translate complex engineering questions into clear, actionable analytics.
