Position Overview The Senior Data Operations Analyst owns the hands-on work behind our operational data — turning raw, multi-stage robotic and fleet data into trustworthy, well-defined, and monitored metrics the organization can rely on. Working directly in BigQuery, this person defines the metrics decisions are built on, validates their accuracy, and builds the monitoring and tooling that keep operational data trustworthy at scale. The ideal candidate is equally a hands-on data investigator and a rigorous systems thinker, comfortable working through messy, ambiguous data to pin down what metrics actually mean — and making sure that knowledge is documented and accessible across the organization. Essential Job Functions Data Ownership & Definition * Define and document key operational and quality metrics hands-on with engineering, keeping them current as pipelines and features evolve. * Build and maintain data lineage and a documented view/metric layer so critical knowledge is documented and shared across the organization. * Validate data quality and proactively audit existing metrics for accuracy and relevance as the platform evolves — catching discrepancies before they drive decisions and flagging definitions that have drifted or pipelines that no longer reflect ground truth.  * Partner day-to-day with Data Engineering, drafting well-formed requests for durable, managed data sources where long-term gaps exist. Fleet & Performance Analysis * Work directly with operational and robotic data in BigQuery (SQL) to investigate fleet trends, performance, and quality metrics — owning the analysis, not just reviewing outputs. * Partner with operations, product, and engineering as an analytical thought partner — translating business questions into structured analysis and findings into clear, actionable recommendations for both technical and non-technical audiences.  * Proactively surface signals worth monitoring without waiting to be directed. * Turn short-term analyses into repeatable visibility frameworks and standardized KPIs that support scaling and data-driven decisions. Reporting, Monitoring & Tooling * Establish and maintain standards for dashboard and metric design that other team members and stakeholders can follow, ensuring consistency and reusability across the reporting layer.  * Design, build, and continuously improve dashboards and monitoring across BI tools (Grafana, Looker, Power BI) or custom tooling. * Leverage modern AI tooling to build and ship dashboards, automation, and lightweight internal tools at high velocity. * Partner with Data Engineering to maintain reliable pipelines and integrations across core systems. Process & Initiative Support * Apply data to evaluate and improve operational workflows, identifying where standardization or automation improves consistency and reliability. * Coordinate multiple data initiatives, maintaining timelines and tracking to ensure on-time, measurable delivery. Education and/or Work Experience Requirements * Bachelor's degree in Data Science, Statistics, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field. * 4+ years in data operations, analytics engineering, business analytics, or a related technical data role, or equivalent demonstrated ownership of data/analytics work. Required Knowledge, Skills, Abilities and Other Characteristics * Strong SQL and hands-on experience in a cloud data warehouse (BigQuery preferred). * Proficiency with BI / data visualization tools (Grafana, Looker, Power BI, Tableau). * Working proficiency in Python (or equivalent scripting) for data work and automation.  * Experience designing dashboards or data-monitoring systems for operational or quality metrics. * Comfort with messy, multi-stage data and ambiguous field semantics. * Self-directed: identifies what matters without being told, and can hold their own in a definitional conversation with engineering. * Strong communication and stakeholder skills across technical and non-technical audiences. Things That Make a Difference * Direct experience in Data modeling and documentation practice. * Familiarity with version control (Git) and collaborative development practices.  * Ability to build fluently with modern AI tooling to multiply output. * Experience with operational, telemetry, IoT, or sensor data. * Background in robotics, IoT, or support operations analytics.
