Job description

Position Summary

The MES System Analyst will play a critical role in designing, configuring, implementing, and expanding the company’s MES. This is a hands-on, build focused role that requires strong analytical skills, system architecture understanding, and the ability to translate manufacturing processes into a digital environment. The ideal candidate has previous experience standing up an MES or deploying major modules, especially in high-volume manufacturing.

Responsibilities

• Lead the design, configuration, and buildout of the MES system for new manufacturing lines.
• Work with engineering, production, quality, and automation teams to map processes and convert them into MES workflows, routings, and data structures.
• Develop and deploy MES modules including work instructions, traceability, production reporting, equipment connectivity, and quality checks.
• Establish data models, collection points, user interfaces, and system logic to support realtime manufacturing visibility.
• Build standards, templates, and configuration frameworks that can scale across multiple production lines and future facilities.
• Support equipment integration using OPC, APIs, or vendor tools to enable automated data flow.
• Coordinate with MES vendors and internal IT for system design decisions, integrations, and implementation timelines.
• Create and maintain system documentation, configuration specifications, and change control records.
• Conduct testing, validation, troubleshooting, and optimization during implementation phases.
• Train end users and provide ongoing support once the system is deployed.

Qualifications and Experience

• Required: Bachelor’s degree in engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field—or equivalent practical experience.
• 3+ years of MES implementation or major MES configuration experience.
• Demonstrated experience building or deploying MES solutions, not just supporting existing systems.
• Experience in solar, semiconductor, electronics, or other high-volume continuous manufacturing.
• Strong understanding of manufacturing processes, equipment connectivity, traceability, and data flows.
• Experience with SQL databases, system integration, and data modeling.
• Ability to translate operational requirements into system design and configuration.
• Excellent communication, project management, and documentation skills.
• This is an onsite position, no hybrid or remote work.

Preferred

• Familiarity with Ignition, iBase, Camstar, FactoryTalk, Eyelit, or similar MES platforms.
• Understanding of PLCs, SCADA, and automation systems.
• Experience integrating MES with ERP, quality systems, or production equipment.

• We offer a competitive salary, robust benefits, paid time off and growth opportunities.
