Job description
We are seeking a highly experienced Blue Yonder Functional & Technical Engineer to lead the implementation, configuration, integration, and support of the Blue Yonder Warehouse Management (WMS) solution within a complex manufacturing environment. This role will serve as the primary Subject Matter Expert (SME) and will be responsible for delivering end-to-end WMS capabilities across inbound receiving, inventory movement and storage, manufacturing integration, warehouse work execution, and outbound fulfillment, from requirements gathering through go-live and hypercare support.
