About the Role
Due to continued business growth and an expanding portfolio of global projects, Transmission Dynamics is looking to recruit both Data Analysts and Senior Data Analysts to join our growing multidisciplinary engineering team.
Our data analysts play a vital role in transforming complex data collected from our Industrial IoT systems into meaningful insights that help customers improve safety, reliability and operational performance across industries including rail, energy, mining and heavy industry.
Working alongside mechanical engineers, software developers and electronics specialists, you’ll analyse real-world engineering data gathered from challenging operating environments, applying advanced analytical techniques, statistical methods and Artificial Intelligence to solve complex engineering problems.
Whether you’re an experienced data professional ready to lead projects or an ambitious analyst looking to develop your career, you’ll have the opportunity to work on genuinely innovative technologies with global impact.
Key Responsibilities
Data Analyst
- Collate, clean and process large engineering datasets.
- Analyse strain, vibration, audio, image and other sensor data.
- Assist with the research and implementation of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning techniques.
- Work alongside engineering teams to interpret data and solve technical challenges.
- Automate analysis pipelines to enable immediate delivery of critical results to clients.
- Develop client-facing dashboards and technical reports.
- Contribute to continuous improvement of analytical tools and processes.
Senior Data Analyst
In addition to the above, Senior Data Analysts will:
- Lead end-to-end analytical projects from concept through to client delivery.
- Research, develop and implement advanced AI and Machine Learning methodologies.
- Mentor and support junior members of the data team.
- Develop complex analytical methodologies and engineering simulations.
- Present findings and technical recommendations to customers and internal stakeholders.
- Help shape the future direction of our data analytics capability.
About You
We’re looking for naturally curious people who enjoy solving complex engineering challenges through data.
You’ll enjoy working with large datasets, applying analytical thinking to real-world problems and collaborating with colleagues from a wide range of technical disciplines. Whether you’re early in your career or an experienced analyst, you’ll have a passion for continuous learning and a desire to push the boundaries of what’s possible using data and AI.

Why This Role is Different
At Transmission Dynamics, data analysis isn’t about spreadsheets and business reporting, it’s about solving real engineering challenges.
You’ll analyse data collected from advanced sensing systems operating on trains, wind turbines, escalators, rotating machinery and other critical infrastructure across the world. Working closely with our engineering teams, you’ll help develop innovative analytical techniques that improve safety, predict failures before they happen and support smarter maintenance decisions. You’ll build systems that carry out your analyses automatically and deliver them to clients to enable preventative action.
No two projects are ever quite the same, providing continual opportunities to develop your skills while working at the forefront of Industrial IoT, Artificial Intelligence and engineering analytics.
Senior Data Analysts will also have the opportunity to help shape the future direction of our analytical capability, mentoring colleagues and leading the development of next-generation AI-powered solutions.
What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for people who are:
- Naturally curious.
- Analytical and logical thinkers.
- Passionate about solving complex problems.
- Collaborative and supportive team players.
- Comfortable working with large and complex datasets.
- Keen to continually learn and develop.
- Excited by Artificial Intelligence and emerging technologies.
- Motivated by making a genuine impact through data.
