Manufacturing Execution System (MES), The MES Engineer designs, develops, and supports Manufacturing Execution System (MES) applications that enable efficient, reliable, and modern factory operations. Working closely with stakeholders and a cross-functional development team, this role translates business and factory floor requirements into robust technical solutions, supports existing MES applications, and contributes to the ongoing MES strategy and process improvement initiatives.
Responsibilities

 * Collaborate with stakeholders and team members to understand business and factory floor requirements and translate them into effective MES solutions.
 * Design and develop application deliverables for new MES implementations and enhancements to existing MES applications, using modern software development methodologies.
 * Work as an active member of an agile/scrum development team to plan, build, test, and deliver MES features from the product backlog.
 * Provide technical support for assigned MES applications to factories and internal business partners, including troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and remediation of application issues.
 * Analyze and resolve issues related to MES applications, ensuring minimal impact on manufacturing and production operations.
 * Maintain and improve user reference materials by writing, revising, or coordinating the creation of documentation for MES applications.
 * Contribute to the development of MES strategy, including evaluating and incorporating new technologies and approaches.
 * Promote process improvement by identifying opportunities to enhance MES functionality, performance, and support processes.
 * Collaborate closely with factory personnel and other internal business partners to understand operational needs and ensure MES solutions meet those needs.
 * Support software testing, deployments, database-related activities, and technical documentation as part of the overall solution lifecycle.
 * Participate in agile ceremonies and follow agile/scrum practices, preferably within a SAFe framework.
 * Continuously expand knowledge in related technical areas such as testing, development, databases, deployment, documentation, and project coordination., This role operates in a hybrid environment that combines onsite work at manufacturing and office facilities with remote work. The team typically works onsite Monday through Thursday and remotely on Fridays, with flexibility based on project needs. The MES Engineer may be onsite approximately two days per week on average, with increased onsite presence during initial onboarding and training. You will collaborate closely with factory personnel, engineers, and cross-functional teams, supporting live manufacturing environments where reliability and responsiveness are critical. The technical environment includes modern software development tools and technologies such as Java, C, C#, .NET Framework, JavaScript, Angular (v5+), HTML/CSS, JSP, Tomcat, IIS, SQL Server, DB2, ORM frameworks (Hibernate, Entity Framework), Azure DevOps, and Microsoft Power Apps. Work involves typical office and computer-based tasks, remote collaboration, and occasional visits to factory floors to understand
