Data & Reporting Specialist

About PaneraTech, Inc.

PaneraTech is a high-tech company that serves manufacturers in over 40 countries. Our disruptive technology offers unparalleled solutions that are often patent protected. Industries that use high-temperature processes, such as glass and steel, rely on PaneraTech to solve the major challenges they face. We leverage both AI and human expertise to improve efficiency, worker knowledge, and safety. We help in two major areas:

• Asset Life Extension - With our patented solution in the glass and steel industry, we help manufacturers make data-driven decisions using sensors, data, and AI. This results in longer asset campaigns safely with higher annual production
• Enabling the next generation of workers - Heavy industries have relied on the experience of employees who worked for 20-30 years in one plant. As a generation of operators and engineers retire, we bridge the experience gap with technology, data, and expertise. We offer solutions to our customers to make their process more data-driven so that an early career workforce can flourish.

At PaneraTech, you will be part of a global, innovative and hybrid working team. Our corporate office is based in the United States with employees spread across Europe, Asia, and South America. Turkey office is in the Hacettepe Teknokent. In this collaborative and inspiring culture that is fostered by a creative and intellectually stimulating work environment, you will be encouraged to bring the best out of yourself and your colleagues.
