Founded more than 75 years ago in Fremont, California, IEM grew alongside Silicon Valley and today operates over 1.7 million square feet of manufacturing capacity. With $1B+ in annual sales and 10,000+ commissioned projects across technology, data centers, commercial, energy, utilities, healthcare, industrial, and infrastructure markets, IEM continues to deliver exceptional product quality, dependable service, and the flexibility to meet complex technical requirements at scale.

 

Position Summary

IEM is seeking a detail-oriented and proactive Business Analyst to support our enterprise technology initiatives. In this role, you will serve as the key liaison between stakeholders, developers, and testers to ensure clear communication, thorough documentation, and efficient delivery of projects across our Salesforce, MuleSoft, and AI platforms. You will gather requirements, document business processes, write well-defined user stories, and work within an Agile framework to drive successful project outcomes.

 

Ideal Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate brings a strong problem-solving mindset and a consultative approach to understanding business and technical needs. They are adept at working cross-functionally, clarifying ambiguous requirements, and proactively shaping solutions with stakeholders across departments. This individual consistently considers upstream and downstream impacts to prevent missed requirements and to improve data quality, consistency, and standardization. They are adaptable, comfortable working across multiple technology domains, and able to learn new platforms quickly. A passion for continuous learning and emerging technologies, paired with strong interpersonal skills, enables effective collaboration with both technical and business partners.

 

In addition, the ideal candidate demonstrates exceptional communication and analytical skills. They can clearly explain complex concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences and are highly organized, detail-oriented, and skilled in producing clear, comprehensive documentation. They practice active listening, asking thoughtful questions to ensure a deep understanding of business needs. As a consultative facilitator, they confidently lead discovery workshops with diverse stakeholder groups, surface hidden requirements and handoff dependencies, and translate findings into clear, testable, data-centric user stories and acceptance criteria.

 

 

Key Responsibilities

  • Gather and document requirements: Meet with end users and stakeholders to capture detailed business needs and translate them into user stories with clear acceptance criteria.
  • Consultative solutioning & dependency mapping: Partner with cross-functional stakeholders to shape solutions (not just capture requirements), identify upstream/downstream impacts and gaps, and recommend process/UI changes that standardize data capture to support reporting, automation, and AI.
  • Write actionable user stories: Create well-structured user stories that provide developers with sufficient detail to implement solutions effectively.
  • Support testing efforts: Partner with QA and testers to ensure acceptance criteria are clear, test cases are documented, and issues are tracked and triaged.
  • Document processes and workflows: Create and maintain up-to-date process documentation, including standard operating procedures, flow diagrams, and technical specifications.
  • Develop user enablement materials: (e.g., job aids, quick reference guides, FAQs) To support adoption of new or updated processes/systems.
  • Manage project requirements: Track and prioritize requirements across Salesforce, MuleSoft, and AI initiatives to ensure alignment with business objectives.
  • Facilitate Agile ceremonies: Participate in sprint planning, grooming sessions, standups, and retrospectives to drive team alignment and delivery.
  • Leverage AI tools for productivity: Utilize generative AI tools to efficiently generate user stories, test cases, documentation, and analysis.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally: Serve as the bridge between business users, developers, IT leadership, and external stakeholders — translating business needs into clear, executable plans.
  • Continuously improve: Identify opportunities to improve documentation processes, requirements quality, and team efficiency through best practices and innovation.

 

Qualifications

  • 3+ years in a Business Analyst role with demonstrated experience writing user stories.
  • Agile methodology: Direct experience working in an Agile/Scrum environment with hands-on involvement in sprint cycles.
  • Requirements documentation: Strong track record of gathering, analyzing, and documenting business requirements.
  • Agile tools proficiency: Experience creating and managing user stories, backlogs, and workflows in tools like Jira or similar platforms.
  • Bachelors level degree is preferred, but not required.

 

Location

  • The position is fully remote but may require up to 15% travel to IEM facilities, supplier sites, compliance audits or conferences. Candidate may be required to work from the Austin office in the future as business needs evolve.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
