About the company

Busek is an established innovator in advanced space propulsion and related technologies, based in Natick, Massachusetts. The organization creates solutions that support the next generation of space exploration, including electric propulsion, chemical propulsion, and advanced materials development.

Role summary

Busek is looking for a Data Analyst to review test and production data for space propulsion systems. In this position, you will collaborate with Engineering, Test Operations, and Manufacturing to turn complex technical data into practical insights that help improve product performance, production workflows, and readiness for manufacturing.

The company values people who are analytical, naturally curious, and able to work with minimal supervision. Candidates with experience in electric propulsion are welcome, but strong data analysis experience in engineering or manufacturing environments is also highly relevant.

Key responsibilities

Your work will focus on analyzing data from testing, production, and manufacturing activities to uncover patterns, irregularities, and improvement opportunities. You will also build reports, dashboards, and visual tools that help technical teams and leadership understand the findings.

• Study engineering, manufacturing, and test datasets to identify trends, outliers, and areas for improvement.
• Create reports, dashboards, and visualizations that clearly communicate technical results to engineering and leadership stakeholders.
• Work with Engineering, Manufacturing, and Test Operations to support product development and production goals.
• Check data accuracy and maintain the integrity of engineering and manufacturing records.
• Assist with root-cause analysis by applying data review and statistical methods.
• Help build automated reporting and analysis solutions that improve productivity.
• Record methods, assumptions, and conclusions so analysis can support engineering decisions.
• Explain findings and recommendations to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Contribute to continuous improvement by spotting ways to strengthen data collection, reporting, and decision-making.

Required qualifications

The role requires a bachelor’s degree in a technical discipline such as Engineering, Data Analytics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, Statistics, or a similar field. You should bring strong analytical ability, solid problem-solving skills, and the capacity to make sense of complex technical information.

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Data Analytics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, Statistics, or a related technical subject.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving ability with comfort handling complex technical data.
• Experience working with large datasets in Excel and other analysis tools.
• Ability to work independently, manage several priorities, and learn new technologies quickly.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills.
• High attention to detail and a focus on delivering accurate, useful analysis.

Preferred skills

Experience with Python, MATLAB, SQL, Power BI, Tableau, or comparable tools is an advantage. Background in engineering, manufacturing, aerospace, or another technical setting is also helpful. Familiarity with statistical methods, data visualization, and production or test data is desirable.

• Hands-on experience with Python, MATLAB, SQL, Power BI, Tableau, or similar analytical platforms.
• Prior exposure to engineering, manufacturing, aerospace, or other technical teams.
• Working knowledge of statistical analysis and data visualization.
• Experience handling production, manufacturing, or test-related datasets.
• Interest in electric propulsion, aerospace systems, or advanced engineering technologies is a bonus.

Benefits and perks

The company offers health, dental, and vision coverage, paid time off, holidays, a 401(k) retirement plan, professional growth opportunities, and a collaborative, innovative workplace.

• Health, dental, and vision insurance.
• Paid time off and holidays.
• 401(k) retirement savings plan.
• Professional development opportunities.
• Collaborative and innovative work environment.

What you can expect

This is an opportunity to work on advanced space propulsion technology while gaining exposure to engineering, testing, and manufacturing operations. Your analysis will help inform product development and production decisions, and you will work closely with engineers building next-generation space systems.

Eligibility and work authorization

Because of the nature of the work and related government contract requirements, this position is restricted to U.S. citizens.
