The goal is to enable advanced Event-Based Planning (EBP) and Materials 360 initiatives- optimizing material forecasting, maintenance planning, and inventory management for GTF engine aftermarket operations. These resources will work on high-impact team, collaborating with AI/ML specialists and data engineering peers to deliver scalable, cloud-native solutions that improve visibility and alignment between demand signals and material planning.

Requirements:
• 7+ years of hands-on Data Engineering experience building data pipelines in an enterprise environment
• 5+ years of ETL development background – building, maintaining, and optimizing data pipelines
• Expertise in Azure Cloud Services and Databricks (or similar cloud-based data environments)
• Proficiency in Python and PySpark for data transformation and automation
• Strong SQL skills with experience across multiple databases (Postgres, SQL Server, etc.)
• Experience with structured and unstructured data ingestion and transformation

• Experience with API development, CI/CD, or DevOps pipelines in Azure
• Background in data governance

Responsibilities:
• Architect and build an integrated Event-Based Planning (EBP) data system capable of supporting both MRO material planning (short-term and long-term) and forecast maintenance activities.
• Develop a pBOM (Planning Bill of Materials) management application to maintain workscope, exposure, and replacement rate data as input for forecasting
• Design and develop scalable data pipelines and integrations in Azure/Databricks
• Build automated ETL workflows supporting forecasting, analytics, and AI/ML applications
• Ingest and transform data from multiple systems (e.g. SAP, repair logs, material databases)
• Ensure data quality, consistency, and governance across structured and unstructured datasets
• Create dashboards, reports, and alerts to support real-time material and maintenance decision-making
• Partner with cross-functional teams to gather business requirements and translated them into data solutions
• Support deployment, orchestration, and automation for data pipelines and assets
• Contribute to the long-term data architecture vision for aftermarket forecasting and inventory optimization
