  Provide on-site MES support during manufacturing activities; ensure that PAS-X components are properly maintained, validated, and aligned with quality standards.
• PAS-X Recipe Development
  Create and manage electronic batch records (eBRs) and recipes within PAS-X, ensuring that processes are scalable, compliant, and optimized for performance.
• Vendor Management & Issue Resolution
  Collaborate with external vendors to ensure service quality; support technical investigations, deviation analysis, and timely problem resolution.
• Methodology & Compliance
  Develop and implement robust methods for managing MES systems in line with internal SOPs and industry standards (e.g., GMP, SDLC). Maintain audit readiness.
• Training & Documentation
  Deliver MES training for relevant teams; author and update technical documentation, including SOPs and user manuals, ensuring alignment with validation protocols.
• Continuous Improvement
  Identify system gaps and process inefficiencies; lead or support initiatives to improve MES usability, system performance, and cross-functional workflows.

Your profile:

• Education & Technical Expertise
  Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Life Sciences, or related field. Equivalent practical experience will also be considered.
• MES Proficiency (PAS-X a must)
  Strong hands-on experience with PAS-X MES – including authoring and modifying MES recipes and batch records. Experience in pharma or biotech environments is highly preferred.
• Compliance & Validation
  Solid understanding of GMP regulations, GAMP5, and Computer System Validation (CSV) principles. Experience with SDLC processes and audit preparation is essential.
• Technical Problem Solving
  Proven ability to identify, analyze, and resolve MES-related issues in a structured and efficient manner, often under time pressure.
• Communication & Collaboration
  Strong interpersonal skills, able to communicate clearly with colleagues from IT, QA, production, and external vendors. Customer- and solution-focused mindset.
• Language Skills
  Fluency in German and English (written and spoken) is mandatory.
• Additional Advantage
  Knowledge of Lean Six Sigma methodologies, experience with system integrations, and prior exposure to global pharma manufacturing environments.
