• Demonstrate your strong creative drive and understanding of what is required from an analytic to engage and excite a user community.

• A proven ability to apply pre-processing techniques, statistical analysis, linear regression, and time-series analysis to industrial data.
• Extensive experience in Python and SQL.

• Good time management skills with the ability to manage multiple deadlines and priorities.
• A high-level of written and verbal communication skills with the ability to convey complex findings to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• A proactive, persistent and customer focused mindset with a high level of self-motivation, initiative, and ability to be independent.
