You will be the technical and functional owner of the platform that drives every build on our floor: work instructions, process plans, nonconformance tracking, and the data that flows between the shop floor and the rest of the business. This is a hands-on role at the intersection of manufacturing engineering and systems administration. You will spend time on the production floor with technicians, in the system configuring and improving workflows, and with our software vendors driving the roadmap. Your success is measured by how invisible the system becomes: builds flow, data is trusted, and the floor never waits on software. Responsibilities * Own MES administration end to end: configuration, user roles and permissions, routings, work instruction templates, and release management * Serve as the primary point of contact with the operations team for support escalations, feature requests, and new releases * Design, build, and maintain integrations between the MES and adjacent systems (ERP, PLM, quality, and inventory tools) * Design and build new tools from the ground up such as a front end interface to our MES for technicians, quality systems, and eventually a custom MES. * Define and maintain production data structures so that metrics like scrap, rework, repair, cycle time, and takt adherence are accurate and reportable * Train technicians, leads, and engineers on the system and drive adoption across the floor * Troubleshoot transaction failures, data discrepancies, and workflow blockers in real time so production keeps moving * Identify and eliminate friction: reduce clicks, automate manual data entry, and continuously improve how work gets executed and recorded * Support audits and compliance activities with traceable, well-structured production records ## Related Videos - [Recruitment Reinvented: Bold strategies and the $10K signing incentive](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1068-recruitment-reinvented-bold-strategies-and-the-10k-signing-incentive) - [Tips and Tricks for Working with JSON](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1229-tips-and-tricks-for-working-with-json) - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) - [Introducing JSON Structure](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100219-introducing-json-structure) - [Why make use of an integration platform in today's software developments and infrastructure?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/758-why-make-use-of-an-integration-platform-in-today-s-software-developments-and-infrastructure) - [JSON and Beyond](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/968-json-and-beyond) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Now is the time for industrialized software development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/601-now-is-the-time-for-industrialized-software-development) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers) - [MLOps – What’s the deal behind it?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/125-mlops-what-s-the-deal-behind-it)
