Responsibilities

As the Manufacturing Software Engineer, you will lead and manage a team responsible for developing, deploying, and maintaining software applications within the Manufacturing Engineering organization. The primary objective of this role is to drive digital transformation across manufacturing operations by eliminating paper-based processes while ensuring data integrity, compliance, and product traceability.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the deployment and administration of a Manufacturing Execution System (MES).
• Collect, analyze, and leverage manufacturing data to generate reporting and insights, including yield, cycle time, and productivity metrics.
• Design, develop, and deploy data warehouses and operational dashboards.
• Establish a controlled software development and release environment to support the full software lifecycle from prototype through production.
• Develop and implement automated manufacturing workflows, including solutions such as automated label printing.
• Design and build software solutions using Oracle, SQL Server, and other database technologies, leveraging programming languages such as C#, .NET, JavaScript, and JSON.
• Drive change management initiatives, train end users, and ensure long-term system reliability and adoption.
• Ensure MES solutions comply with GMP, MIL, ISO 9001, and AS9100 quality standards.
• Lead, mentor, and develop a team of data analysts.
• Conduct system audits, enhancements, and upgrades as necessary.
• Integrate MES with ERP, PLM, Payroll, and other enterprise systems.
• Implement automated data exchange and integration processes across manufacturing systems.
• Establish and maintain a controlled manufacturing software repository.

Minimum Qualifications (Must-Haves)

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Data Analytics, Mathematics, or a related technical field.
• Strong understanding of APIs, system integrations, and cloud platforms, including AWS, AWS GovCloud, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
• Advanced SQL proficiency with hands-on experience developing complex queries and extracting data for reporting and analytics.
• Minimum of 2 years of experience in a manufacturing software development or software sustainment environment.
• Hands-on experience with Azure or similar database and cloud technologies.
• Strong knowledge of Quality Management Systems (QMS) and regulated manufacturing environments.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, Visio, and Project.
• Demonstrated communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to collaborate effectively across engineering, operations, customers, and suppliers.

Preferred Qualifications (Plus)

• 2+ years of experience working with Aegis MES and/or Oracle MES systems.
• Experience supporting or implementing Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) in a production environment.
• Experience with Kaizen, Lean Manufacturing, Continuous Improvement, or similar operational excellence methodologies.
• Experience integrating manufacturing systems with ERP, PLM, or other enterprise platforms.
• Experience working in highly regulated manufacturing industries such as aerospace, defense, medical device, or industrial manufacturing.

Ideal Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate is a hands-on software engineer with strong SQL and system integration expertise who can bridge the gap between manufacturing operations and technology. This individual has experience implementing manufacturing software solutions, improving operational efficiency through automation, and leading digital transformation initiatives within a production environment. They are equally comfortable developing technical solutions, collaborating with manufacturing teams, and leading cross-functional projects.
