Requirements:

• This is an entry-level role. Candidates with 0–2 years of experience are encouraged to apply, and relevant internship or academic experience will be considered. A bachelor’s degree is preferred but not required.
• The manager is looking for candidates with a data-driven mindset and hands-on experience with data tools — specifically Tableau, Power BI, and Snowflake.

Hobbyists’ experience in this area is applicable and worth highlighting.

Typical Day in the Role:

• This includes reviewing workshop manuals, evaluating warranty spend data, working with AI and analytical tools, and collaborating with service, quality, and engineering teams.
•  The work environment is office-based and hybrid, with a dynamic collaborative team. No two days are identical — the role offers consistent variety and meaningful cross-functional exposure.

• Warranty data touches every part of the business — which means this analyst will have visibility into product performance, service operations, and engineering decisions in a way that few entry-level roles can offer.
• The team is collaborative and energetic, and the work provides genuine opportunities to identify problems, drive improvements, and make a measurable impact.
• For a candidate who is data-curious and mechanically minded, this is an excellent entry point into a well-established organization with room to grow.
• The manager is also actively working with AI and analytical tools, giving the right candidate early exposure to emerging technologies in a real-world manufacturing context.
