About The Role
You will join the Manufacturing Test Engineering (MTE) Software team as aData Engineer, responsible for developing and operating scalable data pipelines for manufacturing test data.
You will work with data from Automated Test Equipment (ATE), System Level Test (SLT), test automation platforms, logs, databases, files, and internal services. Your work will make manufacturing test data reliable, accessible, and ready for engineering analysis, reporting, operational insights, and downstream applications.
This is a hands-on technical role. You will useDatabricks, Apache Spark, Python, PySpark, and SQLto build data solutions based on aBronze-Silver-Gold (Medallion) architecture. You will collaborate closely with manufacturing test engineers,
software engineers, analysts, and other stakeholders to improve test-data quality, traceability, and usability.
The role is aligned with MTE Software's mission to build high-quality engineering tools and platforms in close collaboration with manufacturing and engineering teams.
What You'll Achieve
Build Manufacturing Test Data Pipelines
Design, develop, test, deploy, and maintain scalable data pipelines for manufacturing test data.
Ingest data from ATE, SLT, test automation systems, logs, databases, files, and internal services.
Develop robust ETL/ELT workflows usingDatabricks, Python, PySpark, and SQL.
Build primarily batch data pipelines and, where required, near-real-time pipelines to support manufacturing and engineering use cases.
Work with test engineers and software teams to understand test flows, data formats, schemas, source-system behavior, and downstream requirements.
Ensure pipelines can process high volumes of structured and semi-structured test data reliably and efficiently.
Develop Bronze-Silver-Gold Data Architecture
Build and maintain theBronze layerfor raw data ingestion, retention, source traceability, metadata capture, and auditability.
Build theSilver layerto clean, validate, standardize, deduplicate, enrich, and model manufacturing test data into trusted datasets.
Build theGold layerto deliver curated, analytics-ready datasets, aggregations, and data models for engineering analysis, dashboards, reporting, and applications.
Define reusable source-to-target mappings, data models, schema conventions, naming standards, documentation, and data ownership practices.
Ensure test data is accurate, consistent, available, and suitable for both batch and real-time analytics workloads.
Ensure Quality, Performance, and Reliability
Implement data-quality checks, reconciliation processes, schema validation, logging, monitoring, alerting, retries, and error-recovery mechanisms.
Investigate and resolve data-ingestion failures, transformation issues, data-quality defects, latency issues, and downstream data-consumption problems.
Optimize Databricks workloads, Spark jobs, storage design, partitioning, and pipeline architecture for scalability, performance, reliability, and cost efficiency.
Write maintainable, well-tested, production-quality code and actively participate in code reviews.
Contribute to unit testing, integration testing, CI/CD pipelines, automated deployment, release processes, and operational support practices.
Apply secure engineering practices for authentication, authorization, secrets management, data access control, governance, and compliance.
Collaborate with Cross-Functional Teams
Work directly with manufacturing test engineers, software engineers,
data analysts, and stakeholders to clarify requirements and delivery scope.
Translate ambiguous requirements into data models, technical designs, implementation tasks, acceptance criteria, and phased delivery plans.
Partner with teams developing engineering applications, APIs, dashboards, and analytics tools to provide reliable and efficient datasets.
Participate in design discussions, code reviews, and technical troubleshooting to maintain high engineering quality.
Contribute reusable pipeline patterns, data-quality checks, documentation, and coding standards to support the MTE Software ecosystem.
