About the role

You will establish the technical foundation that enables accurate decision-making, scalable production, and end-to-end traceability across the factory.
This is a builder's role: you will define how manufacturing data is captured, structured, integrated, governed, and consumed across the organization while creating scalable systems capable of supporting significant production growth.

Design and build the data models, schemas, and ontologies-and the pipelines and integrations-that power manufacturing execution, quality, supply chain, inventory, and production planning, independent of any single platform.
Build the reporting and analytics backbone that turns operational data into a single operating picture: throughput, quality, labor, capacity, inventory, and on-time delivery.
Lead root-cause investigations into systems, data-quality, and reporting issues, and build the fixes that keep them closed.
Hands-on experience designing and building manufacturing or operational data systems-data models, pipelines, and integrations-that you personally architected and shipped.
Deep, current expertise in SQL, relational (and ideally time-series) data modeling, database performance, and building data pipelines and reporting environments from scratch.
Stack-agnostic builder: deep enough in data and systems fundamentals to design on whatever platform fits the problem, and to migrate the architecture forward as the toolset evolves-not anchored to a single vendor or product.

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Industrial Engineering, Engineering, Data Analytics, or a related technical discipline and 8+ years of relevant experience
or a Master's degree and 6+ years
or, in lieu of a degree, 12+ years of directly related experience.
Experience in aerospace, defense, manufacturing, or national-security environments.
Experience supporting digital manufacturing, Industry 4.0, factory automation, or manufacturing transformation initiatives.
Experience integrating manufacturing, quality, supply chain, and enterprise systems into a unified operational data environment.
Strong understanding of data governance, master data management, systems integration, and traceability principles.
Ability to translate operational requirements into scalable technical solutions.
