Hello, hope you are doing good!!
Greetings from Nava Software Solutions, please review the job description below and let me know you interest in the position.
Job Title: Azure Data Architect
Location: Atlanta, GA - Hybrid
Duration: 6 Months
Role Overview
As an Azure Data Architect (Aviation & MRO), you will design and implement highly scalable, cloud-native data platforms. You will bridge complex technical architecture with deep aviation engineering and supply chain expertise, driving predictive maintenance, fleet reliability, inventory optimization, and robust data governance
Key Responsibilities
- Domain-Specific Solution Design: Architect end-to-end data pipelines, data lakes, and data warehouses in Microsoft Azure tailored to airline MRO operations.
- IoT & Telemetry Integration: Design scalable ingestion architectures for massive volumes of sensor and IoT data from aircraft engines, flight logs, and avionics systems (e.g., Engine Condition Monitoring).
- Predictive Maintenance & AI/ML: Collaborate with data scientists to structure and operationalize ML models that predict part failures, optimize overhaul cycles, and minimize Aircraft on Ground (AOG) risks.
- Supply Chain & Inventory Analytics: Build data models supporting rotatable/consumable inventory forecasting, vendor management, and maintenance turnaround times.
- Data Governance & Compliance: Ensure aviation data compliance (e.g., FAA/EASA traceability standards) and establish master data management (MDM) frameworks across legacy ERP (e.g., SAP) and MRO-specific software
Technical Qualifications
- Azure Data Stack: Deep hands-on expertise with Azure Data Factory, Synapse Analytics, Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2, Azure Databricks, and Microsoft Fabric.
- Big Data & Streaming: Strong command over processing real-time telemetry (e.g., Azure Event Hubs, Kafka, Apache Spark).
- Database Systems: Proficiency in Data Modelling (Dimensional & Star Schema), utilizing both relational and NoSQL databases (e.g., Azure SQL, Cosmos DB, PostgreSQL).
- Modern Architecture: Experience building Data Mesh, Lakehouse architectures, and implementing CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps
Domain Experience (Airlines / MRO)
- MRO Systems: Hands-on familiarity with aviation MRO software such as AMOS, Trax, Maintenix, or SAP for Aerospace & Défense.
- Aircraft Operations Data: Deep understanding of ATA chapters, maintenance task cards, reliability reporting, unscheduled removals, and work order processing.
- Aviation Regulations: Familiarity with safety, quality, and traceability requirements governing aircraft component maintenance
Experience & Education
- Total Experience: 10 years in IT, with at least 5 years specializing in Azure cloud data platforms and 3 years directly serving the aviation/MRO or heavy engineering sectors.
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field.
- Certifications: Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert or Azure Data Engineer Associate are highly preferred
