Analytics Engineer

Flemish BrabantHybrid40 hours/week<3months

As an Analytics Engineer, you will work on systems that track assets, flag maintenance needs, and inform mission readiness. You will split your time between being embedded at a defence customer site as part of a Forward Deployed Engineer team and contributing to the Product Engineering Team. You will turn raw operational data into the dashboards and insights that operational teams actually rely on. The rotation structure means you carry real on-site ownership while a full team provides backup and coverage.

The dashboards you build are not internal reporting tools but are used for decisions about equipment and readiness.

What you do

  • Own the SQL layer end-to-end, from raw source data through to production-ready models, with performance and maintainability as the standard.
  • Build and maintain analytical and dimensional models that underpin asset tracking, maintenance workflows, readiness reporting, and mission planning.
  • Author and publish dashboards and views in close cooperation with client stakeholders, translating operational requirements into clear, accurate analytical deliverables.
  • Apply Python for data transformation, lightweight analysis, and integration glue work, keeping pipelines reliable and documented.
  • Elicit and interpret requirements directly from French- and Dutch-speaking client teams when forward deployed, then translate those needs into concrete analytical outputs.
  • Own testing and technical documentation during on-site rotations, with clean handover to the wider engineering, testing, and documentation teams between deployments.

What they ask

  • Production-grade SQL, complex transformations, modelling, and query optimisation.
  • Practical Python scripting for ETL, data transformation, analysis, and automation; the code you write must be clean and maintainable.
  • Analytical and dimensional modelling at mid-to-senior level.
  • Dashboard authoring experience in at least one BI or analytical tool.
  • Consulting and requirements-gathering skills; the ability to elicit, interpret, and translate operational requirements is essential.
  • Professional working proficiency in French, Dutch, and English.
  • Git discipline and comfort working in structured, security-conscious environments.
  • Eligibility to obtain and maintain the required national or NATO security clearance for this role.

Wishes.

  • Experience working with logistics, maintenance, asset-management, or defence-operations data.
  • Prior experience with Oracle or PostgreSQL in a data modelling or transformation context.
