Fab Applications Business Analyst

What you will do

• Your primary task will be to understand needs and business processes from the Fab related to operational/CIM applications, and to translate their needs into clear user requirements. 
• To that end, you interact with many people throughout and outside the Fab organization to understand what they are trying to accomplish.  
• You negotiate with the business on the trade-off between technical feasibility and usability/benefits of requested functionalities. 
• You create prototypes and/or wireframes to validate proposals with requesters. 
• You define performance requirements and acceptance criteria.  
• You perform user acceptance testing (UAT) and create/update user documentation for implemented functionalities. 
• You provide second (and occasionally first) level business support for the users of the operational applications, including investigating and resolving issues that don’t require ICT involvement and training/coaching of users. 
• You collaborate closely with functional analyst and (solution) architects in ICT and our implementation partner(s) and review the functional designs created by them based on your business requirements. 
• You collaborate closely with the reporting teams that create reports and data products based on the operational applications.
