Job description

  • Trend the company’s multi-modal test data over time – internal flaw detection, induction, and eddy current – for defect growth and surface condition degradation across its non-stop inspection programs in North America.
  • Connect raw test measurements and their metadata to the physical conditions they represent: internal defects, surface conditions, rail flaws.
  • Analyze defect and error types and frequency by subdivision to identify where risk is concentrated and how it moves.
  • Apply risk-based models to estimate the probability and consequence of failure.
  • Own the KPIs for the monthly operational review and customer account review meetings.
  • Present findings to the commercial team in a form they can use in account conversations.
  • Work with the analysis organization so that what the data shows about defect and surface-condition patterns reaches the analysts reviewing that track.
  • Present risk findings to customers alongside the commercial team.
  • Identify gaps in current data collection and recommend what the company should capture to support better analysis.
  • Validate findings against field conditions with track engineering and testing teams.
  • Hire and line manage the two further seats in the pod, and direct their work.
  • Write and maintain documentation so that the analysis is transferable rather than held tacitly., This is what you will do: This Development Scientist II will be a key team member in Alexion’s External Analytical Development and Quality Control group. This position is respons…
