Position: Business Object / Tableau developer

Location: Westlake, TX (5 days onsite)

Type of hire: FTE

Project: Migration of legacy Business Objects (BO) reports to modern Tableau dashboards as part of enterprise modernization from legacy reporting systems to future state analytics.

ROLE SUMMARY

• We are looking for a highly skilled Senior Associate with strong experience in Business Objects (BO) reporting, Tableau development, and enterprise-scale migration projects. This role will support the end-to-end migration of reporting assets from a legacy BO environment into a modern Tableau based analytics platform.
• The ideal candidate is hands-on with strong analytical skills, deep understanding of reporting ecosystems, and experience translating legacy semantic layers and universes into scalable, efficient Tableau dashboards.
• For the senior BO would say the current description for 7+ years' experience is the minimum we should consider for the lead position. This effort will require coordination with several teams so want to stress the point called out around prior experience leading similar efforts in end-to-end migration.
• This effort would involve migrating/modernizing both BO and Tableau reports, not necessarily one to the other. There is a large BO footprint that will remain in BO with focus on updating those universes and migrating/certifying the associated reports. We are looking for someone with robust understanding of BO Universes and semantic modeling to lead here.
• Separately, there is another reporting footprint in Tableau, including supporting Alteryx workflows, that we are also migrating. Experience with both tools will be required which is called out well; any experience with Alteryx or similar GUI tools will be a plus.
• To clarify this is the next stage of the EAP modernization the teams have been engaged on, as we are modernizing our underlying data landscape, the business is not anticipating much change to the report layer, however.
• We should also add a section that includes data certification of reports, experience working with stakeholders and building confidence that their reports tie out will be critical.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

1. BO to Tableau Migration

• Analyze existing BO reports, universes, SQL, and semantic layers.
• Reverse engineer and document business logic, KPIs, data rules used in legacy BO reports.
• Re design and develop equivalent or improved Tableau dashboards aligning with future state architecture.
• Validate data output between legacy and Tableau reports to ensure functional parity.

2. Tableau Development/Analysis

• Develop dashboards using Tableau Desktop & Tableau Server/Cloud.
• Optimize dashboards for performance, scalability, and user experience.
• Build reusable data sources, extract strategies, filters, parameters, and advanced calculations.
• Implement row level security, governance standards, and publishing workflows.

3. Data Analysis & ETL Alignment

• Work with ETL/Data Engineering teams to validate underlying data pipelines and required transformations.
• Identify gaps in source data, logic, and mappings during migration.
• Collaborate on designing new data models aligned to future-state architecture.

4. Migration Planning & Execution

• Assess migration complexity across BO inventory and classify reports for rewrite/enhancement.
• Build migration templates, design patterns, and standardization frameworks.
• Assist in phasing, prioritization, and cutover planning.
• Support UAT cycles and defect resolution.

5. Stakeholder Collaboration

• Work closely with business SMEs, data owners, ETL teams, QA and product managers.
• Conduct requirement workshops and sign off sessions for migrated dashboards.

REQUIRED SKILLS & EXPERIENCE

Technical Skills

• 7+ years of experience in BI/reporting tools
• Strong hands-on expertise in Business Objects (WebI, Designer, BO Universes, BO Reports)
• 5+ years in Tableau Desktop & Tableau Server/Cloud
• Strong SQL skills on Oracle / SQL Server / Snowflake
• Experience rewriting BO logic → Tableau (calculated fields, LODs, parameters, filters, aggregations)
• Good understanding of ETL workflows, data models, data quality validation
• Ability to optimize Tableau dashboards for performance

Migration Experience

• Must have worked on at least one end to end migration from:
• BO → Tableau, or any legacy BI → modern BI migration
• Experience mapping BO universes to Tableau data models
• Experience reconciling legacy KPIs with new data models

Thanks & Regards,

Sagar Mishra

Ameritex Machine & Fabrication is a fast-growing, high-mix metal fabrication company serving power generation, infrastructure, and industrial markets. We build complex fabricated assemblies, enclosures, and structural systems where execution, reliability, and throughput matter more than theory.

We are creating a Director of Manufacturing Excellence role to install manufacturing truth into our operation, not as a consultant, not as a paperwork role, but as a hands-on leader who defines how work gets built and ensures the schedule reflects reality.

This is a builder role, not a caretaker role.

What This Role Owns

The Director of Manufacturing Excellence owns the manufacturing system, not production headcount.

This role builds and enforces a system that defines what is physically possible, so operations can execute without heroics.

You will own:

• Manufacturing schedulability gates (what is / isn’t allowed onto the schedule)
• Process definition and standard work
• Routing accuracy and sequence definition
• Capacity truth across fabrication, welding, finishing, and assembly
• Manufacturing risk classification (standard vs high-risk work)
• Corrective action creation for repeat failures
• Training system architecture (AMTX U)
• Maintenance planning & reliability (PM discipline, uptime protection)
• Manufacturing engineering standards (cutting, welding, forming, flow)

This role does not manage production supervisors or run shifts.

It exists to make execution predictable.

Who You’ll Work With

• Production Managers and Planning & Scheduling
• Maintenance Planning & Reliability
• Welding and Laser Engineers
• Quality Systems & Compliance
• Business Systems / ERP
• Ownership and Operations leadership

This role sits at the center of manufacturing decision-making.

What Success Looks Like

Within 6–12 months:

• Schedules stop slipping due to “surprises”
• Production stops improvising workarounds
• Engineering releases are buildable
• Maintenance becomes proactive instead of reactive
• Training ties directly to process permission
• Owners are no longer the escalation path

If you like clean whiteboards but not messy shops, this is not the role for you.

What We’re Looking For

We are intentionally not looking for a traditional continuous-improvement consultant or a corporate Six Sigma role.

The right candidate has:

• 10+ years in manufacturing or fabrication environments
• Hands-on experience in metal fabrication, welding, cutting, forming, or industrial assembly
• Proven ability to define processes that actually work on the shop floor
• Comfort saying “this job is not schedulable yet”
• Experience turning tribal knowledge into enforceable standards
• Strong judgment under pressure
• A production-first mindset

Bonus (not required):

• High-mix / low-volume experience
• Job shop or contract manufacturing background
• Maintenance reliability exposure
• ERP-driven manufacturing environments

What This Role Is Not

• Not a plant manager
• Not a production supervisor
• Not a paperwork or audit role
• Not a consultant engagement

This is an ownership role.
