Job Summary

The Senior Business Systems Analyst – Manufacturing Technology is responsible for partnering with manufacturing, engineering, quality, operations, and IT teams to define, implement, support, and continuously improve technology solutions used across the factory floor. This role serves as the primary business systems liaison for manufacturing technology capabilities, including Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), ERP/MRP integration, barcode scanning, shop‑floor standard work and process planning, factory IT infrastructure, metal fabrication programming software, quality management systems, and data/AI‑enabled predictive maintenance initiatives.

This position combines strong business analysis, hands‑on application support, requirements definition, solution design, testing, documentation, and change enablement. The role requires the ability to translate manufacturing process needs into scalable technology solutions while providing reliable day‑to‑day support for plant operations and production‑critical systems.

Responsibilities

• Lead manufacturing technology solutioning and business analysis for plant operations.
• Partner with manufacturing, engineering, quality, maintenance, and operations stakeholders to capture business requirements, document process pain points, and translate needs into practical technology solutions.
• Support MES implementation and enhancement efforts, including requirements definition, fit/gap analysis, functional design, testing, deployment readiness, training support, and post‑go‑live stabilization.
• Define and document shop‑floor standard work and process planning requirements that enable consistent execution, data capture, production visibility, and continuous improvement.
• Support ERP/MRP and manufacturing process transformation: analyze and support changes to ERP/MRP‑enabled go‑to‑market and production execution processes for manufacturing plants, including order flow, material planning, routing, production reporting, and operational data handoffs.
• Provide functional support for SAP ERP and related manufacturing business processes, including integration points between ERP, MES, quality, maintenance, and shop‑floor systems.
• Assist with data validation, master data readiness, user acceptance testing, cutover support, and business adoption activities tied to manufacturing technology projects.
• Provide shop‑floor application and technology support / service delivery: support barcode scanning technology, including requirements, device/process testing, issue triage, user support, and integration with ERP/MES or inventory/production reporting processes.
• Provide first/second level support for factory floor technology such as production PCs, monitors, scanners, printers, terminals, and related shop‑floor peripherals in partnership with infrastructure and endpoint support teams.
• Support factory IT infrastructure needs by helping identify operational requirements, coordinate issue resolution, and ensure technology solutions are reliable for production environments.
• Support metal fabrication and production‑enabling software: support systems and software used for programming metal fabrication machines, including coordination with engineering, manufacturing, vendors, and IT teams to resolve issues and improve process reliability.
• Provide business systems support for sheet metal factory operations and metal fabrication processes, with a focus on enabling accurate production execution, traceability, and operational efficiency.
• Provide support for CAM programming for shop floor including nesting software for sheetmetal.
• Support quality management and predictive maintenance capabilities: support QMS deployment and ongoing enhancements, including requirements gathering, workflow support, testing, reporting needs, and business adoption (experience with EtQ is a plus).
• Partner with maintenance, operations, and data teams to support predictive maintenance use cases and connect factory data needs to broader data and AI strategy initiatives.
• Assist with identifying relevant production, equipment, quality, and maintenance data sources needed for analytics, reporting, predictive insights, and continuous improvement.
• Deliver reliable application support, documentation, and stakeholder communication: provide first/second level response to business support requests, incidents, troubleshooting needs, and project requests for manufacturing technology solutions.
• Develop and maintain business requirements, functional specifications, process flows, test scripts, user documentation, support procedures, and training materials.
• Coordinate with IT, vendors, plant teams, and business stakeholders to prioritize requests, resolve issues, communicate status, and deliver expected outcomes with limited oversight.
• Safeguard company data and support effective system controls, security, data integrity, and compliance practices for manufacturing applications and related processes.

Required Experience

• 5+ years of experience as a Business Systems Analyst, Manufacturing Systems Analyst, ERP/MES Analyst, or similar IT/business technology role supporting manufacturing operations.
