translating these complex technical findings into running models and/or reports which alert our sites and ensure that faults are investigated and rectified by our technicians
statistical analysis and investigations towards developing, testing, and updating Key Performance Indicators
developing, testing, and implementing advanced diagnostic algorithms that provide accurate diagnosis and prognosis of faults
driving the technical performance capabilities towards fully utilizing centrally-developed tools and systems to have the highest performance impact, while acting as a translator between technical specialists and central developers
setting requirements towards central development teams for operational systems and developments to fully support the business requirements.

To succeed in the role, you:

have a statistical and logic-focused mindset with experience within performance measurements or analysis and reporting
have an MSc or BSc degree in engineering, data science, physics, mathematics, or another relevant discipline involving data analytics
have high proficiency in critical analysis and problem resolution, are equipped to handle voluminous data, develop simulation models based on technical and commercial input, conduct statistical enquiries, and establish well-founded and reproducible answers to convoluted questions
are confident and experienced working with Python in a professional setting (such as familiarity with version control, Azure DevOps, Kubernetes, Docker, SQL, etc.) and PowerBI. SAP FIORI experience will be highly preferred
