As the Manufacturing Data & MES Engineer you will own the manufacturing execution and plant-data backbone from a running pilot facility today to a massive 1 million square foot manufacturing facility expansion. You will embed with the vendor team implementing MES on our pilot as the designated knowledge-transfer engineer, close the pilot’s live data-integration gaps, and define the platform-neutral data architecture that survives whatever SCADA, batch, MES, and historian stack the site selects. As manufacturing scales, you will shape how the MES is implemented from pilot to production. This is a high-impact, high-ownership rol
