• Design and build governed data products across Bronze, Silver, and Gold layers, including transformation logic, domain marts, semantic models, testing, and documentation.
• Define canonical domain concepts, grain, facts, dimensions, business rules, and reconciliation approaches for operational and analytical data.
• Design governed models for concepts such as parts, suppliers, purchase orders, inventory, work orders, production, quality, cost, and fulfillment.
• Work across ERP, PLM, MES, MRP, procurement, quality, inventory, supplier, and finance systems to create integrated data products.
• Develop and optimize transformation pipelines using Databricks, SQL, Python, PySpark, and Delta Lake.
• Apply enterprise ingestion, modeling, naming, quality, lineage, and promotion standards, and identify where they need to evolve.
• Partner with Data Engineering, Platform Engineering, and Data Governance on reliability, security, access, metadata, stewardship, and quality controls.

• Strong dimensional modeling and semantic design skills, including facts, dimensions, grain, conformed dimensions, and auditable business logic.
• Hands-on production experience with Databricks, including Bronze, Silver, and Gold lakehouse patterns, Delta Lake, SQL, and Python and/or PySpark.
• Experience operating in controlled, export-sensitive, government, defense, or security-sensitive environments.
• Experience integrating data from complex enterprise systems such as ERP, PLM, MES, MRP, procurement, inventory, supplier, quality, production, or financial systems.
• Ability to translate ambiguous business needs into practical delivery scopes, technical designs, and prioritized roadmaps.
• Strong communication skills and comfort partnering directly with business and technical stakeholders.
