Job Description:

Lead the integration and optimization of our MES infrastructure while contributing your automation controls expertise to support a tightly connected, data-rich manufacturing environment. Instrumental in bridging the digital and physical layers of our production systems—connecting MES platforms with shop floor controls (work stations, PLCs, sensors, testers, motion systems) to deliver traceability, operational visibility, and high system reliability. This is a hands-on engineering position that spans system architecture, controls programming, MES development, and factory floor integration.

Job Responsibility:

Design, configure, and maintain the MES infrastructure with a focus on scalability, reliability, and real-time data availability
Integrate MES with new and existing production equipment, work stations, test stations, automation cells, and data acquisition systems
Develop and maintain robust UI interfaces, ensuring full traceability, error handling, and synchronization of production events
Build real-time dashboards and data pipelines to monitor OEE, system status, test results, and production KPIs
Collaborate with manufacturing engineers to support new process introductions, controls programming, commissioning, automation changes, and MES-related troubleshooting
Create and maintain internal documentation for MES standards, architecture, and integration workflows
Ensure data integrity and high MES availability in a fast-paced, high-mix production environment

Requirements:

5+ years of experience in MES systems engineering, industrial automation, or controls engineering in a manufacturing setting
In-depth understanding of ISA-95 MES architecture and its integration with automation equipment
Strong experience with PLCs (e.g., Allen-Bradley), industrial controls, and HMI/SCADA platforms (e.g., Ignition, Sepasoft)
Hands-on experience with industrial communication protocols (e.g., OPCUA, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT)
Proven ability to troubleshoot across software, hardware, and control systems domains
Proficient in scripting (e.g., Python, structured text)
Familiarity with traceability, OEE and digital twins

Nice to have:

Bachelor’s or Master’s in Industrial Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field
Ignition Certification/ SEPASOFT MES CERTIFICATION
ERP/PLM Experience, OT/IT, Cyber Security
CATIA V6 Experience
