Data Analyst (f/m/d) – Quality Management – First in Quality

About

Do you enjoy connecting complex data across systems? Do you believe that data without action is wasted potential? Do you think new outcomes require new ways of thinking?

In this role, you will help shape the future of medical technology at a leading German medical device manufacturer-ensuring world-class quality, regulatory confidence, and patient safety on a global scale.

This is not a role for passive analysis. It is for people who challenge assumptions, turn insights into direction, and want their work to measurably improve lives.

If you want to be part of real change-rather than observe it-this is your moment.

Responsibilities

Build a lifecycle "single source of truth" for AIS quality

• Define and maintain a lifecycle-oriented data model that consolidates quality-relevant information across the entire product lifecycle
• Connect and harmonize data from key functional systems such as SAP C3, Service tools, JIRA, MES and rework data to enable consistent reporting and end-to-end traceability

• Prepare regular reporting and transparent progress updates for leadership and key stakeholders
• Translate raw data into actionable insights related to core KPIs-such as complaint trends, work orders, or cost of non-quality-to support preventive quality measures

Enable analytics that shift the organization from reacting to prevention

• Perform deep-dive analyses to identify root causes, trend patterns and early warning indicators that support preventive action planning
• Contribute to predictive and proactive analytics initiatives aligned with the digital PLM vision (e.g., quality prediction, lifecycle feedback loops)
• Communicate insights clearly and ensure follow-up actions are owned and executed by responsible stakeholders

Drive benchmarking and best-practice identification

• Support internal and external lifecycle benchmarking efforts to capture best practices and uncover improvement opportunities

• Strong ability to translate business questions into metrics, data pipelines and actionable insights, combined with clear stakeholder-oriented communication

Preferred Qualifications

• Advanced SQL proficiency and hands-on experience with Python for data processing and analytics in a modern data ecosystem (ideally MS SQL, Azure Data Lake, Databricks)
• Experience working with Power BI for semantic modeling, dashboarding and interactive reporting
• Exposure to digital PLM or digital-thread concepts, including traceability across PLM-MES-ERP-QMS and feedback loops throughout the lifecycle
• Understanding of regulated industries, especially medical devices, and familiarity with the relevance of traceability and compliance (e.g., EU MDR, FDA, ISO 13485)

Skills & Competencies

• Analytical rigor: ability to structure ambiguous problems, identify patterns and quantify impact
• Data-quality mindset: focus on accuracy, reliability, standardization and reducing manual error sources
• Systems thinking: ability to connect product, process, service and operational data into a coherent, lifecycle-driven view
