Caterpillar Aftermarket Data Analyst, Cat Digital

In Aftermarket Analytics, we support services growth by leveraging a data-driven understanding of dealer and customer services behaviors. The team’s core project – Lens – is a data-driven approach which translates dealer-to-customer aftermarket invoices data (lists of parts) into the actual component and repair which was performed, as well as the most likely piece of equipment which benefited from the repair. This helps to better understand and leverage service (repair/maintenance) customer and dealer behaviors. The value of this project is determined by its coverage (components and repairs), its quality (accuracy and confidence) and as importantly by its alignment to the services growth agenda. That implies managing a complex network of stakeholders from product groups, component groups, services development teams, distribution (service operations) to sales execution teams and dealerships. As Aftermarket Data Analyst, your key priority will be to work under the direction of a more senior data scientist and/or project leader to deliver insights, performing analysis/visualization to generate new insights from Lens, investigating and troubleshooting limitations or bugs and determining/executing the appropriate actions with data scientists. Job Duties: The key role of this second level analyst position is to move from learning and assisting others to learning to contribute independently. The Information Scientist II is expected to be familiar with the company’s processes, products, and organization.

Challenges include meeting expectations in delivering results, learning to consider alternative courses of actions, making timely decisions and developing communication skills. Individuals in this position might expect to have several assignments allowing them to gain experience on multiple projects. They will be expected to apply theory and concept in contributing to the solution in the assigned area. The job function may include data collection and analysis; development, validation, application, and refinement of statistical models; application of related digital technologies in processing both the inputs and outputs from the models. Examples of expected analytical tasks include determining “should-cost” curves in order to identify cost outliers to be targeted by material cost reduction teams or creating a visualization of the output of a “should-cost” curve in a digital technology such as Tableau. The Information Scientist II demonstrates an expanded breadth of knowledge and the ability to handle basic issues independently. The incumbent demonstrates very good communication skills; above average planning and organization, teamwork, and decision-making skills; a strong concern for customers; and has basic knowledge of Caterpillar Inc., and its products and services. Key Responsibilities include and may not be limited to: Collaborate with business segments to expand Lens’ scope and create value through existing Lens data Segment customers and analyze equipment lifecycles Provide application support in resolving and troubleshooting problems Data exploration & visualization to support data scientists and data engineers Basic Qualifications: Typically requires an accredited 4-year degree, preferably in statistics, economics, mathematics, or a similar field with quantitative coursework and 1-2 years of experience, or a Master’s degree in an associated field.
