Senior Data Engineer, Supply Chain

The Senior Supply Chain Data Engineer will work with Supply Chain, Operations and other business users to shape POET's supply-chain planning and reporting capabilities. The role will gather and document business requirements for an in-house Advanced Planning System (APS), develop reporting solutions in Power BI and Tableau, analyze business data, and support solution design and user acceptance testing.

This role is suited to a strong supply-chain and analytics professional who can translate business needs into clear functional requirements and work effectively with technical teams. Advanced coding skills are not required; basic technical knowledge is sufficient to communicate data and solution requirements.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Meet with Supply Chain, Operations, Manufacturing and other users to understand their planning processes, business problems and reporting needs.
• Gather, clarify and document requirements for how the in-house APS should support demand, supply, inventory, capacity and scenario planning.
• Translate business needs into functional requirements, process flows, solution design documents, report specifications and acceptance criteria.
• Build and maintain reporting objects, dashboards and analytical views in Power BI and Tableau.
• Serve as the primary reporting point of contact: manage requests, clarify definitions, agree priorities and communicate progress with users.
• Analyze supply-chain and manufacturing data to identify trends, risks, exceptions and opportunities; present findings clearly to business stakeholders.
• Define and maintain consistent KPI definitions, business rules and report documentation.
• Plan and coordinate user acceptance testing (UAT), including test scenarios, business-user participation, issue tracking, retesting and sign-off.
• Work with data engineers and other technical partners to explain business requirements, review proposed solutions and confirm that delivered outputs meet user needs.
• Support user guidance, training and adoption of new planning and reporting solutions.

REQUIREMENTS

• Bachelor's degree in supply chain, Industrial Engineering, Business Analytics, Engineering, Information Systems or a related discipline.
• 4–6 years of experience in supply-chain planning, supply-chain analytics, business analysis, reporting or a related role.
• Strong understanding of supply-chain concepts such as demand, supply, inventory, production, capacity and procurement planning.
• Strong analytical skills, with the ability to interpret data and explain insights to business users.
• Experience gathering requirements and documenting processes, functional specifications or solution designs.
• Hands-on experience creating reports or dashboards in Power BI, Tableau or a similar tool.
• Experience coordinating UAT, working with users and tracking issues through resolution.
• Basic understanding of databases, data structures and how systems exchange data; basic SQL or coding knowledge is advantageous but not required.
• Clear communication, organization and stakeholder-management skills.
• Semiconductor, electronics or manufacturing experience is preferred.
• Exposure to ERP, APS or planning systems is advantageous.
