  • Experience in digital manufacturing, industrial automation, systems integration, manufacturing IT/OT architecture, or a closely related discipline.
  • Experience integrating production equipment, control systems, MES, ERP, historians, and other manufacturing data platforms into connected operational solutions.
  • Experience architecting, implementing, or supporting manufacturing systems, system integrations, or digital transformation initiatives within production environments.
  • Strong understanding of manufacturing workflows, data structures, system architecture, and lifecycle management considerations.
  • Demonstrated ability to translate business requirements into scalable technical architectures, integration strategies, and implementation plans.
  • Strong systems-thinking capabilities, with the ability to define and optimize how data, applications, and processes interact across the enterprise.
  • Ability to balance strategic planning with hands-on technical problem-solving in a dynamic manufacturing environment.
  • Strong communication, collaboration, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to effectively bridge operational, business, and technical stakeholders.
  • Continuous improvement mindset with a passion for designing connected systems that improve efficiency, usability, and business outcomes.


Also want to make sure you have

  • Experience with Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), industrial middleware, cloud-enabled manufacturing platforms, or enterprise analytics environments.
  • Knowledge of ISA-95 standards, manufacturing data governance, cybersecurity principles for industrial environments, or enterprise architecture frameworks.
  • Experience with platforms such as Ignition, Microsoft Azure, or similar digital manufacturing technologies.
  • Experience standardizing systems, architectures, or digital solutions across multiple manufacturing facilities.
  • Experience supporting enterprise-wide digital manufacturing, smart factory, or Industry 4.0 initiatives.
  • Experience leading large-scale digital transformation efforts that connect operational and enterprise systems.
