Demand for Analyst roles

New Analyst postings at the employers we follow are up 24% over the last 6 weeks compared with the 6 before.

Weekly new Analyst postings at the same employers, from the week of August 17 to the week of November 2. The fewest in a week was 966, the most 1,494, and the latest week had 1,494.

Each bar is one week of new postings. The darkest bars are the last 6 weeks.

Counted from the hiring pages we’ve followed for at least five weeks, so employers we add don’t look like growth. Updated weekly.

About the role

We file this job under Analyst, by the work the posting describes.

Analysts answer business questions with data. They pull numbers with SQL, build reports and dashboards, and explain what changed and why to the people making decisions.

Most postings ask for SQL, spreadsheets, a dashboard tool such as Tableau or Power BI, and clear writing.

Unlike a data scientist, an analyst mostly explains what happened rather than building models that predict what will.

About the Integration, Quality & Manufacturing Engineering Team

Zipline's Integration, Quality & Manufacturing Engineering (IQME) team keeps the factory floor running smoothly. We're responsible for making sure the right parts and materials are always in the right place at the right time, from receiving and warehouse storage, to staging materials right at the production line, to getting finished goods ready to ship. 

We work hand-in-hand with Production, Quality, Supply Chain, and Material Planning to build and improve the drones, and we're currently standing up brand-new production lines as we scale fast. We're also focused on using better data from production, inventory, and quality data pulled from systems like our ERP, MES, and traceability tools, to help everyone on the floor make smarter, faster decisions.

About the Data Analytics Intern Role

As a Data Analytics Intern on the IQME team, you'll dive into the data behind how Zipline actually builds and ships its drones, from inventory and materials to production output and quality.

You'll team up with engineers, production leads, quality stakeholders, and leadership to find insights that keep the factory floor running smoothly. Your main focus will be turning data into insights that help people make faster, smarter decisions on the floor.

This role is ideal for someone passionate about data, problem-solving, and seeing their analysis translate directly into real operational impact. Along the way, you'll learn from a fast-scaling manufacturing team, giving you a front-row seat to how data drives decisions in a mission-driven environment.

What You'll Do

  • Collaborate with production, quality, and supply chain teams to understand what data and insights matter most to the business
  • Partner with engineers to learn how manufacturing and inventory data is generated and transformed so it's ready for analysis
  • Write SQL queries and help streamline reporting using Mode, Streamlit or Sigma.
  • Support data quality efforts by validating datasets and catching issues before they affect reporting
  • Dig into open-ended questions from the floor and leadership, turning raw data into clear, actionable answers

What You'll Bring

  • Currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Data Analytics, Data Science, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
  • Comfortable writing SQL queries to calculate metrics and pull insights from data
  • Some experience with Python for data analysis (scripts, cleaning, or automation)
  • Experience working with large datasets and turning them into clear findings
  • Familiarity with a BI/dashboarding tool such as Mode, Sigma, Tableau, Looker, ThoughtSpot, or Power BI
