HR Trainee

Based at our Irapuato Plant, this is not a traditional HR role. You will be embedded in the heart of our manufacturing operations, where precision and efficiency are vital. Your mission is to transform raw industrial HR data into intelligent systems. You will work on the "shop floor" of digital HR—building apps, managing databases, and implementing AI tools that directly impact our workforce's productivity and the plant's operational excellence.

• Full-Stack Development: Create and maintain internal web tools and platforms using JavaScript, HTML, and frameworks (Angular, Laravel, React) to streamline plant-specific HR processes.
• Data Engineering: Manage and query complex databases (SQL Server, NoSQL, Oracle, Apache) to ensure HR metrics are accurate and real-time.
• Industrial Automation: Develop automated workflows using Python and Microsoft Power Apps to replace manual tracking in areas like shift management, training compliance, and personnel logistics.
• AI Implementation: Explore and integrate AI tools to predict workforce trends and improve decision-making speed.
• Cloud Integration: Support the migration and management of HR data within the Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
• On-Site Problem Solving: Work directly with plant supervisors and HR partners to identify "pain points" and deliver technical solutions that work in a 24/7 manufacturing setting.

• Education:  
  • STRICT REQUIREMENT: Must be a current student in the LAST YEAR (final two semesters) of a B.S. in Information Technology Engineering, Computer Systems Engineering, Business Intelligence or a closely related field.
• Experience:  
  • Academic or personal portfolio demonstrating proficiency in coding and database architecture.
  • Interest in applying engineering principles to organizational/human challenges.
• Technical Knowledge: 
  • Languages: Solid foundations in JavaScript, HTML, Visual Studio, .NET, and Python.
  • Frameworks: Knowledge of Angular, Laravel, or React.
  • Database Management: Proficiency in SQL Server; familiarity with NoSQL, Oracle, and Apache.
  • Cloud & Low Code: Desirable knowledge of GCP and Power Apps.
  • Future Tech: Familiarity with AI tools and Data Analytics methodologies.
  • Platforms: PowerBi, Tableau
  • ETL (Extract, transform, Load)
• Skills:  
  • Project Management (ability to take a requirement from idea to deployment).
  • Advanced mastery of the Office 365 suite.
  • Resilience and adaptability to a high-pressure manufacturing environment.
  • Storytelling
• Languages:  
  • English: Intermediate to Advanced (ability to read technical documentation and communicate with global teams).
