Supply Chain Engineer

Aditi Consulting • Contract • Peoria, IL, US • $47 - $48 / hour • 1m ago

Payrate: $47.00- $48.00/hr.

Position Contributions to Work Group:
This role leads to the definition, development, and deployment of a real time object in transit from a business process and operational perspective. The focus is to ensure that inbound supply and transportation data is trusted, explainable, operationally actionable, and directly usable by planners, logistics teams, and execution systems (e.g., Clear to Build, supplier collaboration, transportation execution).
The role sits at the intersection of supply chain execution, transportation, supplier collaboration, and analytics, and is accountable for turning fragmented inbound signals (ASNs, tracking, ETAs) into a single, consistent, enterprise ready in transit view that supports real-time decisions.

Typical task breakdown:

Own the Business Definition of the In Transit Object
- Define what “in transit” means from a business standpoint — including minimum required fields, confidence levels, timestamps, and lifecycle states.
- Ensure the in-transit object reflects how the business actually plans, sequences, builds, and mitigates risk.
- Establish clear rules for what is trusted vs. informational, and how planners should interpret and act on the signal.
Translating Operational Needs into Clear Requirements
- Work directly with material planners, logistics, transportation, procurement, and supplier teams to capture real use cases and pain points.
- Convert those needs into clear, testable business requirements that engineering teams can build against (epics, features, acceptance criteria).
- Ensure requirements explicitly support line continuity, execution decisions, and exception management, not passive visibility.
Drive End to End Process Alignment
- Map the end-to-end inbound flow (supplier → carrier → transit → receiving → production use) and identify where data breaks, degrades, or loses confidence.
- Align ASN, transportation, and tracking processes so that data is linked, synchronized, and explainable across systems.
- Define ownership and handoffs across business functions to avoid “orphaned” signals or manual workarounds.
Partner Closely with Technical Teams
- Act as the business counterpart to digital and data teams, ensuring solutions meet operational intent.
- Review designs, data models, and logic through a business execution lens
- Push back on solutions that are operationally unusable or misleading.
Enabled Deployment and Adoption
- Support rollout by defining what success looks like at site level (how planners use it, how exceptions are handled, what decisions move earlier).
- Help shape training, communications, and operational guidance so teams understand how to use the signal.
- Identify early adoption issues and course correct quickly based on real usage and feedback.
Apply Strong Analytical and Problem-Solving Rigor
- Analyze inbound performance trends, data gaps, and exceptions to identify root causes.
- Use data to challenge assumptions, validate improvements, and refine business rules over time.

Education & Experience Required:

Years of experience: 5-7 years
Degree requirement: Supply chain, engineering, or related degree preferred.

Top Skills:

Strong supply chain domain knowledge, with depth in transportation, inbound logistics, or supplier collaboration.
Demonstrated experience working with ASNs, shipment tracking, ETAs, and execution level supply signals.
Proven ability to operate between business and technical teams, translating operational needs into buildable requirements.

Technical Skills:

Advanced analytics in tools like excel, tableau, Power BI and the like.
Digital requirements gathering and drafting
SQL querying and reporting
Prior development or technical product management experience

Soft Skills:

High analytical capability with comfort working in imperfect, fragmented data environments.
Clear, confident communicator who can challenge constructively, align cross functional teams, and keep work grounded in business outcomes.
Bias toward practical execution focused on what improves line stability and decision making, not just visibility.
