The Processing Analyst is the technical operator responsible for ingesting data into EDT, running imports, troubleshooting processing errors, and managing the QA workflow. Their daily work involves uploading source data to the staging area, configuring and executing imports, monitoring job progress, triaging processing failures, and ensuring that data meets quality standards before it is handed off for review or analysis.
