As a Logistics Data & Improvement Engineer at AAE in Helmond, you turn complex data into clear analyses, well-informed decisions and measurable improvements.

You critically assess data reliability and investigate the root causes behind performance gaps. Because a good dashboard is only the beginning. The real impact is reflected in our logistics processes.

Pushing technical boundaries

At AAE, we develop and build high-tech systems and modules that contribute to a better world, together with around 700 colleagues. This requires a supply chain in which materials, capacity and information are closely aligned. That’s where you come in as our Logistics Data & Improvement Engineer.

What will your role be?

As part of Logistics Engineering, you will help take our supply chain to the next level. You bring structure to data from multiple sources, identify opportunities to improve processes and help teams make data-driven decisions.

Your focus is on structural analysis and process improvement. This means you won't be responsible for routine data entry, daily reporting follow-up or resolving day-to-day operational disruptions. Instead, you investigate underlying patterns and help prevent recurring problems.

Here's what you'll do:

• Analyze logistics data: Collect and validate logistics process data from multiple sources and assess its reliability.
• Develop KPIs and dashboards: Provide clear insights into inventory, lead times, material flows, capacity and delivery reliability.
• Identify improvement opportunities: Investigate trends, performance gaps and underlying causes using root cause analysis.
• Support decision-making: Develop scenarios and impact analyses to support supply chain and Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) decisions.
• Develop improvement projects: Turn your findings into improvement charters that define the problem, baseline, objectives, owner and expected results.
• Measure and sustain results: Monitor the impact of implemented improvements and help standardize successful practices and KPI definitions.

Being part of something great

In this role, you'll work closely with Planning, Operations, Procurement, Warehouse, IT/BI and business owners.

You actively connect data insights with day-to-day operations. You discuss your findings with colleagues on the shop floor, make complex analyses easy to understand and help teams put improvements into practice.

You've got what it takes

You have strong analytical skills, a curious mindset and a results-driven approach. You ask critical questions, recognize patterns and know when data is reliable enough to support a decision. You combine technical expertise with a practical mindset and know how to get colleagues on board with improvements.

Here's what you bring:

• A bachelor's or master's level of education and thinking, preferably in Supply Chain Management, Logistics, Industrial Engineering, Data Analytics or a related field.
• Experience in supply chain analysis, logistics process optimization, KPI development and continuous improvement.
• Knowledge of ERP systems and supply chain processes in a manufacturing or logistics environment.
• Extensive experience with Power BI, including dashboard development and data analysis.
• Strong skills in root cause analysis, pattern recognition, hypothesis development and scenario analysis.
• Good command of both Dutch and English.
• A mindset that reflects our AAE values: Ambitious, Can Do, Human and Together.

Does this role appeal to you, but you're not sure whether your background ticks every box? Don't let that stop you from getting in touch. We'd love to discover what your experience and perspective could bring to AAE.
