Job description

We are looking for Industrial Deployment Engineers MES & IT/OT Integration who are interested in building a career in smart manufacturing, MES, Industry 4.0 and industrial digitalization.

You will work with manufacturing customers to understand their shop-floor processes and configure, integrate, test and deploy iTraceX for real-world manufacturing use cases.

This is a hands-on engineering and customer-site role, not a conventional software desk job.

You will work across the complete industrial technology flow: Manufacturing Process Machine PLC/HMI Industrial Connectivity iTraceX/MES ERP & Enterprise Systems

Freshers are welcome. Selected candidates will receive training and project exposure across MES, manufacturing processes, industrial automation and IT/OT integration.

Roles & Responsibilities

• Understand customer manufacturing processes, production flow, stations and operational requirements.
• Understand production orders, routing, BOM/materials, WIP, quality, rework, rejection and traceability requirements.
• Translate manufacturing use cases into iTraceX/MES configurations and workflows.
• Configure and deploy iTraceX for customer-specific manufacturing requirements.
• Participate in onsite installation, integration, testing, commissioning and production go-live.
• Understand PLC/HMI signals, tags/registers, machine states, events and equipment handshakes required for MES integration.
• Work with customer automation teams, PLC programmers and machine/equipment suppliers.
• Work with industrial communication technologies such as OPC UA, Modbus TCP/IP and related interfaces.
• Understand and troubleshoot IT/OT connectivity across machines, PLC/HMI, gateways, networks, servers and applications.
• Work with SQL/databases, REST APIs, JSON and system interfaces.
• Support integration with ERP, PLC/HMI, barcode scanners, industrial printers, RFID, vision systems and other shop-floor equipment.
• Perform functional, integration, negative, boundary, recovery and exception testing.
• Participate in FAT, SAT, UAT, commissioning, go-live and stabilization.
• Troubleshoot issues systematically across machine, PLC/HMI, connectivity, middleware, MES and enterprise systems.
• Perform root-cause analysis and coordinate issue resolution with customers, internal teams and external vendors.
• Work closely with Production, Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, IT and Automation teams.
• Prepare configuration documents, interface details, test cases, deployment records and RCA reports.
• Train customer operators, engineers and system users.
• Provide onsite and remote support during implementation and post-go-live stabilization.
• Follow configuration management, change management, version control and deployment practices.
• Take ownership of assigned activities through successful completion.

Candidate Profile

We are looking for candidates who:

• Have strong logical and analytical thinking.
• Enjoy hands-on technical troubleshooting and problem solving.
• Are curious about how machines and manufacturing processes work.
• Have an interest in both IT/software and OT/industrial automation.
• Can approach problems systematically rather than through trial and error.
• Have basic computer and networking knowledge.
• Are willing to learn manufacturing, MES, PLC/HMI and integration technologies.
• Can communicate clearly with customers and technical teams.
• Are comfortable working in manufacturing/shop-floor environments.
• Are willing to travel extensively to customer locations.
• Are willing to support commissioning and go-live based on customer production schedules.
• Can work effectively with operators, engineers, IT teams, automation teams and equipment suppliers.
• Demonstrate ownership, discipline and professional behaviour at customer sites.

Technical Skills Preferred / Good to Have

Exposure to any of the following is an advantage: MES | PLC | HMI | SCADA | OPC UA | Modbus | Kepware | SQL | REST API | JSON | TCP/IP | Windows | Linux | Industrial Networking | Barcode/RFID | Industrial Printers | ERP | IIoT | Industry 4.0 | Traceability | Manufacturing Systems

These skills are preferred but are not mandatory for freshers.

Experience 0–3 Years

Fresh graduates are welcome to apply.

Candidates with 1–3 years of experience in MES, PLC/HMI, SCADA, industrial automation, manufacturing IT, IIoT, system integration, industrial networking or application deployment will have an advantage.

Prior MES experience is not mandatory.

Travel Requirement: Candidates must be willing to travel and work at customer manufacturing facilities across India.

Depending on business and project requirements, selected employees may also get opportunities for international customer deployments. Customer-site assignments may require staying at project locations for multiple days or weeks or months during implementation, commissioning go-live & hypercare.

Career Growth-

ThoughtMakes intends to develop selected candidates into engineers capable of working across the complete industrial execution environment.

Typical career progression:Trainee Industrial Deployment Engineer Industrial Deployment Engineer Senior Industrial Deployment Engineer MES & Industrial Integration Specialist Technical/Solution Lead Solution Architect / Delivery Lead High-performing employees may get opportunities to participate in international projects and regional operations.

Why Join This Role?

This role provides an opportunity to build expertise across: Manufacturing + MES + Industrial Automation + OT + IT + System Integration

Rather than specialising only in software or PLC programming, you will learn how manufacturing processes, machines, automation systems, industrial networks, MES and enterprise applications work together.

Our objective is to develop engineers capable of going to a manufacturing facility, understanding the production requirement, interacting with production and automation teams, analysing IT/OT connectivity, configuring the MES solution, troubleshooting integration issues and taking the system successfully into production.
