Job Description:
The Excellence team at Caterpillar has developed over 40 dashboards to provide data-driven insights. However, the large number of dashboards and filters can make it difficult for users—especially new ones—to find the answers they need.
To address this, we created ExcellenceNav, a concept website that allows users to enter natural language queries (e.g., “What is the open PPAP for Decatur?”). The system recognizes keywords, matches them to the relevant dashboard, applies the correct filters, and generates the appropriate URL for quick access.
We are looking for a student developer to help deploy ExcellenceNav to a production server and improve its natural language query capabilities. The goal is to make the system smarter and more efficient over time.
