IT Systems Administrator

Ralliant is seeking a Microsoft 365 Power Platform Engineer to design and deliver analytics solutions with a strong focus on Microsoft Fabric, Power BI, and AI-enabled analytics strategy. This role will play a key part in enabling AI-ready data foundations, supporting Copilot experiences, and operationalizing analytics and insights across the organization in a secure, governed, and scalable manner. 
The ideal candidate combines strong BI engineering skills with an understanding of how AI capabilities (Copilot, semantic models, data quality, and governance) depend on well-designed data platforms. You will partner with business stakeholders, security, and platform teams to ensure data products are optimized not only for reporting, but also for AI-driven insights and automation. 
Key Responsibilities 
Microsoft Fabric & Data Platform Engineering  
• Design and implement end-to-end Microsoft Fabric solutions leveraging Lakehouse/Warehouse, Data Pipelines, Dataflows Gen2, and Fabric capacities. 
• Build scalable data ingestion, transformation, and modeling pipelines that support analytics, self-service BI, and downstream AI use cases. 
• Implement standardized medallion-style data architectures (e.g., bronze/silver/gold) with strong data quality, lineage, and observability. 
• Optimize Fabric workloads for performance, reliability, and cost efficiency, including capacity utilization and refresh strategies. 
• Develop enterprise-grade Power BI semantic models designed for reuse, performance, and AI-readiness. 
• Create and maintain Power BI reports and dashboards with a strong focus on usability, performance, and accessibility. 
• Apply advanced DAX and Power Query (M) techniques to optimize large models and complex datasets. 
• Implement and manage Power BI deployment pipelines, workspace strategies, and lifecycle management (dev/test/prod). 
AI Strategy Enablement  
• Design AI-ready data models and semantic layers that support Microsoft Copilot, natural language querying, and generative AI experiences. 
• Partner with architecture and AI teams to align Fabric and Power BI assets with the organization’s broader AI and Copilot strategy. 
• Ensure datasets are curated, documented, and governed to support trusted AI outputs (certified datasets, promoted models, consistent definitions). 
• Identify opportunities to embed AI-driven insights into Power BI, Power Apps, and Microsoft 365 workflows. 
• Contribute to enterprise standards for responsible AI enablement, including data quality, security boundaries, and explainability. 
Power Platform & M365 Integration  
• Build supporting Power Apps and Power Automate flows that extend analytics insights into operational workflows. 
• Integrate solutions with Microsoft 365 services (Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Outlook) for collaboration, distribution, and automation. 
Governance, Security & Operations 
• Implement and maintain data security, access controls, and governance policies, including RLS, sensitivity labels, and workspace controls. 
• Support Power BI and Fabric administration, including capacity monitoring, usage analysis, audit logs, and environment governance. 
• Produce audit-ready documentation: solution architectures, semantic model definitions, AI usage considerations, and operational runbooks. 
• Act as a trusted technical advisor to stakeholders during requirements gathering, solution design, and prioritization.

Skills & Experience 
• 5+ years of experience delivering BI or analytics solutions using Power BI and Microsoft data platforms. 
• Hands-on experience with Microsoft Fabric, or strong prior experience with Power BI + Azure data services transitioning into Fabric. 
• Dimensional data modeling and semantic layer design 
• DAX optimization and performance tuning 
• Power Query (M) and data transformation best practices 
• Experience designing analytics solutions with AI and Copilot consumption in mind. 
• Solid understanding of data governance, security, and access control concepts. 
• Strong SQL skills for querying, troubleshooting, and performance optimization. 
• Ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.                                                                                                                                                      

Qualifications  
• BA/BS in Finance, Accounting, Computer Science, Information Systems, Cybersecurity, or a related field 
• Experience supporting Copilot or AI-assisted analytics scenarios in Microsoft Fabric or Power BI. 
• Familiarity with Fabric capacity planning, cost management, and monitoring. 
• Experience with Purview, data cataloging, lineage, and metadata management. 
• Power Platform experience (Power Apps, Power Automate, Dataverse).
