Job description

Reports To: Director of Manufacturing Engineering, Quality & IT

Department: Information Technology

Position Summary

The Systems Analyst / Developer designs, builds, and maintains the internal software, integrations, and business systems that run our manufacturing operations — and helps embed practical AI capabilities into those systems and workflows. This is a hands‑on build role at a small, multi‑site manufacturer: the right person writes real code, understands the business well enough to translate operational problems into working solutions, and is also comfortable being the day‑to‑day IT resource for the plant. AI initiatives are developed collaboratively with the Director and existing technical staff, not owned in isolation.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

Software Development & Business Systems

Design, develop, test, deploy, and maintain internal software applications, databases, and system integrations.
Analyze business processes and user requirements to identify opportunities for automation and system improvements; translate those into technical solutions.
Build and maintain reports, dashboards, and data queries (SQL) to support operational and management decision‑making.
Manage data imports, exports, and integrations between business applications; ensure data integrity and security.
Support and enhance ERP/MRP and related business systems (quality, scheduling, etc.); assist with implementations and upgrades.
Troubleshoot and resolve application, database, and integration issues.

AI Solutions (developed with the Director / technical lead)

Identify and prioritize opportunities to embed AI into internal applications and business workflows.
Build and integrate AI‑driven features into internal systems — e.g., LLM API integration, retrieval over company documents/data, and automation of manual, repetitive tasks.
Evaluate AI tools, platforms, and APIs (e.g., Microsoft Copilot, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic Claude) for fit, cost, and security.
Prototype, test, and iterate on AI‑assisted features before they reach production.
Ensure responsible, secure use: control what data leaves the network, manage access, and validate AI outputs so unverified results don’t end up in production or quality‑relevant processes.

IT Support & Infrastructure

Provide first‑line troubleshooting for desktop hardware, printers, operating systems, and Microsoft 365 / office applications.
Set up, configure, and deploy computers and peripherals for on‑site and remote staff; maintain hardware inventory and upgrade plans.
Identify complex network/system issues and elevate appropriately to the Managed Service Provider (MSP).

Documentation, Collaboration & Projects

Create and maintain system documentation, user guides, technical specifications, process flows, and internal knowledge‑base articles.
Collaborate with department managers and end‑users to gather requirements and recommend solutions; provide user training.
Participate in project planning, budgeting, and execution for technology initiatives.

Qualifications

Education

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Software Engineering, or a related field preferred; equivalent combination of education and hands‑on experience considered.

Experience

3–5 years in software development, systems analysis, or a comparable IT role.
Demonstrated experience actually building and shipping software (not just configuring or supporting it) — required, not a “nice to have.”
Experience supporting business systems in a manufacturing environment preferred; ERP/MRP exposure highly desirable.

Technical Skills

Proficiency in one or more languages such as SQL, C#/.NET, Python, JavaScript.
Strong database and SQL query‑development skills.
Experience with system integrations, APIs, and data migration.
Working knowledge of network connectivity (TCP/IP, Wi‑Fi), Windows, Microsoft 365, and hardware peripherals.
Familiarity with reporting/BI tools and the software development lifecycle (SDLC).
Exposure to AI/LLM APIs or AI‑assisted development strongly preferred; CompTIA A+ is a plus.

Knowledge, Skills & Abilities

Ability to translate business problems into working technical solutions.
Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills with attention to data accuracy.
Clear written and verbal communication; able to work independently and across departments.
Ability to prioritize multiple projects and deadlines.
