• Degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Electrical Engineering, or related technical degree.
• Experience working with large enterprise applications and platforms with high availability requirements.
• U.S. Person status is required as this position needs to access export‑controlled data.

• Understanding of three‑letter acronyms such as ERP, MES, WMS, CRM, etc.
