Data & BI Engineer, PLM & Quality

About the Role

As a Data & BI Engineer, you will design, build analytics applications in addition to the definition, maintenance, and growth of the data pipeline in our PLM & Quality Systems domain. The systems you build and work with will solve business challenges that focus on Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) & Quality Systems at Harman. You will be “Full Stack” in your projects, where you will build the pipeline, data, and Business Intelligence (BI) analytics for them.

For example, you will immediately jump into the development and maintenance of our Quality Analytics portfolio focused on extractions from Opcenter placed in Snowflake, that power our QLIK dashboards for defect management (warrant, 0km, Field, Supplier, Validation failures), while also building out new data pipelines and applications focused on both PLM & Quality Data.

The role is not transactional. It is focused on building Business Solutions based on real Problem Statements with freedom to create fit-for-purpose data pipelines and analytics applications that you will own, as part of the citizen-development group. You are expected and encouraged to stay on with the latest and greatest technological trends to create value in your designs and in the business application.

You will work on business‑critical Analytics and Data Solutions, that integrate with PLM, ERP, MES, and Quality platforms, enabling Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, and Program teams to manage complex product data in a controlled and traceable way. The problems you will solve are systemic, data‑intensive, and cross‑functional.

While low‑code platforms (e.g. Mendix for Apps, QLIK for Analytics) are part of the technology stack, this is not a configuration or scripting role. You will be designing maintainable, scalable solutions. Low‑code is used to accelerate delivery—not to replace engineering discipline.

You will leverage Analytics technologies (ex. QLIK) along with Data Lake and warehouse solutions (ex Databricks, Snowflake, Microsoft Fabric, etc.) to build and create complete, well-rounded solutions in partnership with other HARMAN departments.

What You Will Do

• Own various areas of the Analytics and Data Products for Quality & PLM systems
• Partner with Business Stakeholders and members of the larger configuration, PLM, and quality teams to execute projects related to data products, reporting, and analytics
• Own the “fit for purpose” and scalable definition of the projects to ensure business value is created
• Design, build, maintain, and improve data products related to Quality Systems in enterprise systems (Ex. Warranty, Design Defects, problem solving)
• Design, build, maintain, and improve data products related to Quality Systems (Change Management, BOM & Product Data, Gating, Project Status’s)
• Design, build, maintain, and improve QLIK reporting to expose Data Products for use in business processes, metrics, and KPI’s.
• Develop scalable pipelines (ETL/ELT, Orchestration, Cataloging, Staging) to ingest PLM/Quality data from Teamcenter, Opcenter Quality, ERP/MES, etc.,
• Execute meshing of data and data staging, for consumption to Analytics Tools (ex. QLIK) and Custom Applications (ex. Built in Siemens Mendix)

What You Need to Be Successful

• Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent professional experience) in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or a related technical discipline.
• 3-5 years of hands-on experience in data engineering building information in data lakes and warehouses such as Snowflake, Fabric, Databricks, etc.
• 3-5 Years of hands-on experience building applications in QLIK, Power BI, etc. with data created in Data Warehouse and Lake Solutions.
• Proficiency with programming languages Python and SQL
• Demonstrated practice of quality controls and documentation practices
• Demonstrated experience with CI/CD for making updates to central data solutions, including version and history control
• Strong UX Skills to present data in a clear, concise, and valid way
• Experience working with modern cloud data stacks that run the data engineering ecosystem

Bonus Points if You Have

• AIAG Certification

• Masters Degree

• Experience with Agile Methodologies

• Experience with Teamcenter, other PLM Applications, and enterprise systems
• Experience with QMS Systems (ex. Siemens Opcenter)

• CMII Configuration Management certification (Certified or Professional)

• Professional certification in change management / project management

• Knowledge and application of continuous improvement philosophies

What Makes You Eligible

• Be willing to travel up to 10%, domestic and international travel.

• A hybrid work environment that balances flexibility with in-person collaboration, with most office-based roles onsite three days a week.
• Access to employee discounts on HARMAN and Samsung products (including JBL, Harman / Kardon, AKG, and others)
• Learning and development opportunities through our award-winning HARMAN University programs
• Wellness benefits designed to support your overall well-being
• Access to the HARMAN campus fitness center and cafeteria, where available
