Robotics & Automation Analyst

About the role

Power Design Inc. is a $1.4B national design-build multi-trade contractor operating across 28 states. We are building a Robotics & Automation function across five operational domains: prefab manufacturing, LFG and switchgear manufacturing, wire processing, the DC and warehouse, and logistics. The program is capitalized, sponsored, and moving. The manufacturing division is approximately 3 years old. We are building the reporting infrastructure that proves - or disproves - the value of every automation investment we make. You sit at the intersection of machine data, operations finance, and executive communication. Your job is to take what automation systems produce - throughput data, uptime, cycle times, error rates - and translate it into the business narrative that ops leadership uses to make decisions and that the Senior Director uses to defend capital allocation. You are not building dashboards for their own sake. You are building the evidence base for a multi-year, multi-domain investment program. This is not a role for someone who needs time to ramp up - the first deployments go live in Year 1 and the ROI reporting framework needs to be in place before they do. Position Responsibilities Build and maintain the capacity reporting infrastructure for all automation deployments - throughput baselines, productivity benchmarks, and variance tracking against targets. Develop and own ROI tracking models for each deployment. Measure actual returns against the capital investment cases presented to executive leadership. Translate machine data from Oracle Fusion and the Operational Technology (OT) data layer into clear operational narratives for non-technical audiences. Executive summaries, board-level visuals, ops leadership dashboards. Support the Senior Director in building capital investment cases for new deployments - financial modeling, sensitivity analysis, scenario planning. Identify performance gaps and surface them proactively. If a deployed system is underperforming against its ROI case, you find it before someone else does. Partner with the Integration Engineer to ensure data quality and reporting pipeline reliability. Evolve the analytics function as deployments scale - by Year 3, five domains are in production and feeding an operational AI program. This role grows with the platform. Here's What We're Looking For 3+ years in an operations analytics, industrial engineering, or management consulting role with heavy quantitative focus. Strong financial modeling skills - you can build a credible ROI model and defend its assumptions in front of an executive audience. Experience working with operational or manufacturing data - throughput, utilization, OEE, cycle time, or equivalent metrics. Proficiency in data tools: Excel/Google Sheets at an advanced level required; Power BI, Tableau, or equivalent BI platform experience preferred. Familiarity with ERP data structures (Oracle Fusion a strong plus) and the ability to pull and clean data from operational systems. Exceptional communication skills - written and visual. You can take a complex dataset and produce a one-page summary that tells a clear story. Intellectual curiosity and comfort with ambiguity. The reporting infrastructure does not exist yet. You will build it. Demonstrate and uphold Power Design's core values, which include integrity, accountability, teamwork, innovation, and growth. some of our benefits... Power Design has national health and dental plans, and we also offer life insurance and short and long term disability plans. You'll receive paid vacations and holidays as well as national discount programs for everything from movie tickets to flowers, rental cars, phones and vehicles! We also offer a 401(k) retirement plan as well as incentive and recognition programs. Relocation opportunities may also be available!
