Requirements
You use AI as part of your daily workflow—Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, AIP, or whatever fits the task.
You review AI-generated code critically, apply it thoughtfully, and always double-check its output.
You measure your work by what ships and gets used.
You'd rather own a small set of pipelines that operators depend on than a wide backlog that no one is asking for.
You write SQL and Python regularly and readily understand code generated by AI.
You can read another engineer's pipeline, identify weaknesses, and suggest concrete improvements.
Responsibilities
You will own end-to-end data and analytics work that shows up directly on a factory floor.
You'll pull data from real production systems (ERP, MES, QMS, Inventory), shape the data into pipelines and ontologies in Palantir Foundry and Databricks, and partner with engineers, ML practitioners, and program quality leads to ship analytics products people actually use.
You will be expected to use AI aggressively in your own work to draft pipelines, write tests, generate dashboards, explore unfamiliar data, and accelerate the repetitive parts of the job.
You will also be expected to be near the hardware.
Manufacturing is a building full of people who need answers from your data, and the best engineers on this team are the ones who walk the line, ask "what is this part," and let that shape the schema.
