Data Engineer - Predictive Maintenance

Vanderlande provides baggage handling systems for 600 airports around the globe, capable of moving over 4 billion pieces of baggage around the world per year. For the parcel market, our systems handle 52 million parcels per day. All these systems generate data. Do you see a challenge in building models that can enable data-driven services for our customers using that data? Do you want to contribute to the fast-growing Vanderlande Technology Department on its journey to become more data-driven? If so, then join our Digital Service Platform team! 🌟

Your Position

You will work as a Data Engineer in the Predictive Maintenance team. This hybrid and multi-cultural team consists of Data Scientists, Data Engineers, a DevOps engineer, a QA engineer, an Architect, a UX designer, a Scrum Master, and a Product Owner.

Through predictive solutions, the Digital Service Platform aims at optimizing customers’ assets usage and maintenance, impacting their performance, cost, and sustainability KPIs by expanding the lifetime of the components.

In your role, you will participate together with the other Data Engineers in solution design discussions led by our product architect, where your knowledge and input will be highly valued. You will collaboratively work with IT and business SMEs to ensure delivery of high-quality end-to-end data pipelines.

Your Responsibilities

You will be developing, testing, and documenting the data (collection and processing) pipelines for Predictive Maintenance solutions. The data collection consists of (complex) data pipelines from (IoT) sensors and low/high level control components to our data platform. When the data is in the cloud, it must be processed and made available as data products to our data scientists.

Align implementation efforts with other back-end developers across multiple development teams.

You will develop scalable data pipelines to transform and aggregate data for business use, following software engineering best practices. For these data pipelines, you will make use of the best frameworks available for data processing like Spark. We are continuously improving on the solutions we use and encourage you to keep challenging the status quo.

You develop our data services for customer sites towards a product, using (test & deployment) automation, componentization, templates, and standardization to reduce delivery time of our projects for customers. The product provides insights into the performance of our material handling systems at customers all around the globe.

You will contribute to the design, build, and improve a CI/CD pipeline, including (integration) test automation for data pipelines. In this process, you strive for an ever-increasing degree of automation.
