We are seeking a Senior BI Specialist - Fabric & Power Platform to join our team, working directly on strategic initiatives for ESA.
In this role, end-to-end Power BI development is the core anchor of your daily work: you will design scalable semantic models, write advanced DAX, and deliver executive dashboards that guide top-level space policies. What makes this role unique is your mastery of the complete modern data ecosystem: architecting lakehouse environments in Microsoft Fabric, orchestrating workflows and low-code apps with Power Automate & Power Apps, leveraging Python & SQL, and actively exploiting Microsoft Copilot & AI tools to accelerate development, automate analysis, and deliver AI-assisted insights to decision-makers.

- AI-Driven analytics & Copilot adoption: leverage Microsoft Copilot across Power BI, Fabric, and Power Platform to accelerate development (DAX, code, narrative summaries); prototype GenAI capabilities (Azure OpenAI, natural language Q&A;, AI visuals) to augment analytical decision-making.
- Modern data architecture / Fabric & Azure: build and manage Lakehouse layers, OneLake storage, and Data Factory pipelines, leveraging Direct Lake connectivity for near real-time analytics. Build scalable ELT/ETL flows with seamless Direct Lake connectivity to Power BI.
- Process automation & low-code apps: build operational Power Apps for user inputs and trigger automated workflows via Power Automate.
- Data engineering with Python & SQL: write robust SQL and Python (Pandas, PySpark, Fabric Notebooks) scripts for transformation, validation, and analytics.
- Strategic stakeholder engagement: guide ESA stakeholders from deep-dive technical sessions to high-level executive presentations, translating complex institutional policies into actionable analytics.
Who we’re looking for
- Education: Degree in a STEM discipline (Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Data Science, or related field).
- Experience: 5+ years in Microsoft BI consulting
- Technical stack:
- Hands-on proficiency with Microsoft Fabric (Data Factory, Lakehouse, Direct Lake).

- Languages & soft skills: fluent English (written/spoken) and solid stakeholder management capabilities. The work is primarily conducted in English, requiring full professional fluency to draft complex documents and lead international meetings.
