How to Apply for Senior Data Analyst

at HITACHI ENERGY

🏢 About HITACHI ENERGY

Hitachi Energy is a global leader in advancing sustainable energy systems, driving the transition to a carbon-neutral future. Working here means contributing to cutting-edge high-voltage products that power the world's grids, with a strong emphasis on innovation and reliability.

About This Role

This Senior Data Analyst role focuses on applying reliability engineering methods (DOE, Weibull, RBD) to improve high-voltage products over their lifecycle. You'll develop monitoring approaches, build AI tools, and analyze data from SAP and other systems to drive data-driven reliability improvements.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with reviewing failure data from SAP or Digital Passport System, then running statistical analyses in Python to identify reliability trends. You'd collaborate with design engineers on a DOE experiment, later building a Power BI dashboard to present findings to stakeholders, and end by refining an AI tool that automates risk assessment for new product designs.
