  • At least 8 years of experience delivering, supporting, or optimizing Manufacturing Operations Management solutions in a manufacturing environment; experience in 24/7 facilities is preferred.
  • Strong expertise in manufacturing processes, batch or discrete operations, recipe and workflow execution, electronic records, genealogy, traceability, and exception management is required.
  • Demonstrated success delivering Industry 4.0, digital manufacturing, or smart factory initiatives, including integration across Manufacturing Execution Systems, Enterprise Resource Planning, Laboratory Information Management Systems, Statistical Process Control, historians, and automation layers, is required.
  • Working knowledge of ISA-95, Manufacturing Operations Management, operational technology/information technology convergence, and scalable manufacturing system architecture best practices is required.
  • Experience with process mapping, requirements elicitation, solution design, and cross-functional delivery in 24/7 production environments is required.
  • Expertise in validation, change control, deviation and root-cause investigation, and documentation practices in regulated manufacturing settings is required.
  • Strong analytical, stakeholder-management, and communication skills are required, including the ability to influence technical teams, site leaders, and business partners.
  • Experience working with and leading cross-cultural teams is required.
  • Proven experience in a Manufacturing Execution Systems Lead role is required.

Responsibilities

  • Lead Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing initiatives that improve throughput, quality, traceability, and compliance through effective use of Manufacturing Execution Systems and connected digital systems.

  • Serve as the technical lead for Manufacturing Execution Systems deployment, enhancement, and support, ensuring alignment with Manufacturing Operations Management strategy and enterprise architecture standards.
  • Drive operational technology/information technology integration across Manufacturing Execution Systems, Enterprise Resource Planning, Laboratory Information Management Systems, Statistical Process Control, historians, and automation platforms to enable connected factory capabilities and trusted manufacturing data flows.
  • Own complex incident resolution, root-cause analysis, and continuous-improvement activities for Manufacturing Execution Systems and related production systems in a high-availability manufacturing environment.
  • Define and govern system configuration, master data, process modeling, and deployment standards to support scalable, repeatable implementations across sites.
  • Lead validation, change control, user acceptance testing, and release-readiness activities for manufacturing systems operating in regulated environments.
  • Use manufacturing process knowledge to identify digitization opportunities, eliminate manual workarounds, and improve execution reliability, right-first-time performance, and data-driven decision-making.
  • Coach cross-functional teams and site stakeholders on digital best practices, standard work, and digital manufacturing adoption to accelerate value realization.
  • Own the site Manufacturing Execution Systems roadmap, including deployments, maintenance, scalability, and continuous improvement.
  • Drive the success of site Manufacturing Execution Systems, capture business value, and report it regularly to management.
  • Perform integration and testing independently with limited supervision.
  • Support users in resolving software issues, such as missing or incorrect data in the Statistical Process Control database, and drive improvements.

Desired Qualifications

  • An advanced degree or relevant Manufacturing Execution Systems or Manufacturing Operations Management certifications are preferred.
  • Hands-on experience with Critical Manufacturing, Camline, Ignition, LabWare, or comparable Manufacturing Execution Systems and manufacturing application ecosystems is strongly preferred.
  • Familiarity with automation and controls technologies such as Rockwell, Siemens, GE, or Keyence is a plus.
