The Role The project you will be involved in seeks to enhance the detail and richness of the demand signal by constructing activity stacks from a bottom-up, event level perspective. Eight stacks have thus far been created, with three more in progress. This provides a more detailed event level forecast, allowing for a more precise and informed support solution. The stacks are constructed from manual "data cuts" from various existing applications and sources. Automating this process from the data perspective is needed due to its time-consuming nature, allowing for the capture of a full range of equipment. The automation of data feeds from OPUS/Churchill/TAFMIS is already in progress. Once the data feeds are automatically loaded into Veritas through the ADW, there will be a need to verify the data feeds and ensure that Veritas has been properly configured against the existing manual A&RP Evolve process. This will be followed by a comparison of the automated data against the manual activity stacks to identify any missing or ambiguous data in the automated feeds. A Senior Data Engineer is required to aid in the completion of this task. Skills and Experience - Familiarity with MOD IT systems is critical, for example, JAMES, Fd Army IX applications. - CHURCHILL, TAFMIS, and OPUS. - Track record in data analysis & manipulation. - Prior experience interacting with Army HQ. - Knowledge of equipment support planning within the Army is highly beneficial.
