SENIOR DATA SME
Posted 5 hours 57 minutes ago by Réalta Technologies (RT)
Réalta Technologies is searching for a Senior Data SME to build, design and implement the data foundation required to deliver the 2026 Digital Strategy for our client in the Medical Device industry. This role will operate at a senior developer level and will be responsible for transforming fragmented operational data into a governed, scalable, near real time analytics ecosystem.
The successful candidate will drive end to end data solution delivery, from data ingestion and modelling to dashboard engineering and automation, with a strong focus on manufacturing performance metrics (OEE, downtime, WIP, throughput, and inventory absorption). This is a hands on technical leadership role requiring deep expertise in data modelling, system integration and data architecture.
Job Responsibilities- Enterprise Data Architecture: Design and implement scalable analytical data models and system integrations to support advanced analytics, machine learning, and operational intelligence.
- Data Pipeline & Processing Engineering: Build and optimize robust batch and near real time data pipelines, including time series processing, window aggregations, and query performance tuning.
- Advanced Analytics & Machine Learning: Develop, deploy, monitor, and optimize end to end machine learning models, incorporating anomaly detection, signal smoothing, and statistical analysis techniques.
- Manufacturing & Operational Analytics: Lead the development of analytics frameworks covering OEE, downtime modeling, cycle time variance, throughput, WIP flow, inventory absorption, and lead time adherence.
- Enterprise Power BI & Semantic Modeling: Develop enterprise grade Power BI datasets and optimized semantic models using advanced DAX, calculation groups, RLS, and performance optimization techniques.
- Reporting Architecture & Governance: Design scalable reporting frameworks including KPI alerting, drill through logic, deployment pipelines, version control, and dataset reuse governance.
- Data Governance & KPI Standardization: Define standardized KPI frameworks, implement validation and quality controls, and align metric definitions across cross functional stakeholders.
- Senior Technical Leadership: Operate autonomously, translate ambiguous business problems into structured data solutions, influence senior stakeholders, and balance rapid delivery with architectural integrity.
- 5+ years in Data Engineering / BI Development / Data Analytics
- Expert-level Power BI development with proven DAX proficiency
- Advanced SQL (complex joins, performance tuning, query optimization)
- Experience building dimensional data models
- Experience integrating manufacturing / machine generated data
- Strong understanding of OEE and plant performance metrics
- Experience designing automated reporting frameworks
- Strong machine learning and statistical modelling experience using Python (Scikit-learn, XGBoost, LightGBM, SciPy, Pandas, NumPy, PySpark, MLflow).
- Expertise in time series forecasting and sequential modelling (ARIMA/SARIMA, Prophet, Darts, LSTM with TensorFlow/Keras).
- Experience building scalable data solutions using Spark, Databricks, Delta Lake, and distributed processing frameworks.
- Hands on experience with streaming and event driven architectures (Kafka, Azure Event Hub, MQTT, Spark Streaming, Flink).
- Strong integration experience across industrial systems (Ignition, MES, OPC UA, SCADA, ERP) and APIs (FastAPI, Flask, Airflow, Azure Data Factory).
- Familiarity with operational analytics, optimization techniques, and Six Sigma in cloud platforms (Azure Synapse, Snowflake, AWS Redshift).
