* Integrate data from MES, ERP, and PLM systems into unified models.

* Define and enforce data governance frameworks, security, and quality standards across both legacy and modern platforms.

* Maintain compliance with relevant industry and regulatory standards.

* Contribute to future initiatives such as Master Data Management (MDM) implementation and advanced governance capabilities.

* Partner with IT and business units to align data solutions with business needs.

* Mentor data engineers and analysts on best practices in both traditional and modern architectures.

* Evaluate emerging technologies and recommend strategic investments to enhance data capabilities.

Required Qualifications:

* Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field.
