Job Summary:

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior .NET Developer with a strong background in manufacturing environments and MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems) to design, develop, and maintain our internally developed plant production and business systems.

• Maintain and evolve our Corporate and Plant Production Systems’ software code base, adhering to best practices in .NET development.
• Ensure compliance with IT security policies and regulatory standards.
• Provide on-call support for plant floor systems, troubleshooting issues and driving root-cause analysis.
• Collaborate with IT infrastructure and server teams on networking, servers, and security

Qualifications and Experience:

• 6+ years of progressive experience in .NET software development (C#, .NET Framework, .NET Core).
• Proven track record in independently leading complex software projects, from requirements gathering to deployment.
• Demonstrated experience with lean manufacturing concepts and supporting MES, SCADA, or traceability systems in a production environment.
• Hands-on experience with SAP (or other ERP systems), ServiceNow, Ignition, and Leading2Lean is highly desirable.
• Strong understanding of IT Security and Business Risk Controls.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or equivalent experience

Skills and Abilities:

• Technical Leadership: Ability to define technical roadmaps, architect solutions, and lead development efforts.
• Excellent Debugging Skills: Capable of diagnosing complex issues spanning multiple systems or components.
• Database Proficiency: Demonstrated ability to write efficient SQL queries, stored procedures, and manage database objects (SQL Server, Oracle).
• Project Management: Skilled at stakeholder communication, setting realistic timelines, and adapting to shifting priorities.
• Collaborative Mindset: Proven success working with cross-functional teams (e.g., Production, Operations, QA).
• Strong Communication: Adept at conveying technical concepts to non-technical audiences; capable of producing clear technical documentation.

Core Technologies (Preferred):

• NET Ecosystem: C#, VB.NET, ASP.NET, .NET Core
• Web Development: HTML, CSS, JavaScript
• Web Services: WebAPI, RESTful, JSON
• Databases: SQL Server, Oracle
• DevOps & Source Control: Git
• Manufacturing Tools: Inductive Automation Ignition, Leading2Lean, PTC Kepware, Telit Devicewise
• Enterprise Systems: SAP, ServiceNow
• Collaboration: Microsoft Office, SharePoint

Working conditions:

• Location: This role is based on-site in our Greenfield, Indiana facility. While some hybrid flexibility may be available, the position requires regular presence at the manufacturing plant to effectively support production and IT operations.
• Physical Demands: Required to sit or stand for long periods of time. Ability to work in a manufacturing environment, including 24/7 production facilities where associate may be on-call. Visual ability to work accurately with detailed information and computer screens.
• Travel: May require occasional domestic (and possibly international) travel to other facilities.
