This role supports the delivery of systems and integrations that optimize manufacturing operations, with a primary focus on ERP, PLM/MES platforms, and Atlassian collaboration tools.

The ideal candidate combines deep understanding of manufacturing workflows with technical fluency to improve operational efficiency, data integrity, cross-departmental collaboration, and systems integration between production environments and IT infrastructure.

• Partner with Production stakeholders to gather, document, and validate business requirements for system enhancements, integrations, and process improvements across ERP, PLM/MES, and collaboration platforms.
• Serve as a liaison between Production Groups and IT, ensuring production needs are accurately translated into technical specifications and implementation roadmaps.
• Map current-state and future-state production workflows, processes, and data flows across manufacturing systems, including inventory management, production scheduling, quality control, and asset tracking.
• Support the design, testing, and deployment of system integrations between ERP, PLM/MES, Atlassian (Jira, Confluence, etc.), and other production-critical platforms.
• Analyze existing production processes to identify opportunities for automation, standardization, efficiency improvements, and waste reduction.
• Assist in configuring, testing, and troubleshooting ERP and PLM/MES modules related to production planning, scheduling, work orders, material management, and shop floor operations in coordination with IT and production teams.
• Develop functional specifications, user stories, and acceptance criteria for system changes affecting manufacturing operations.
• Coordinate user acceptance testing (UAT), including test plan development, execution, and defect tracking for production-focused system enhancements.
• Create and maintain process documentation, standard operating procedures (SOPs), work instructions, and training materials for production staff.
• Support data mapping, validation, and migration efforts for system integrations affecting production data accuracy and traceability.
• Facilitate workshops and meetings with production management, shop floor operators, and IT teams to align requirements, identify pain points, and establish implementation timelines.
• Provide ongoing support for system issues and optimization opportunities, working with IT and vendors to resolve problems affecting production operations.
• Assist in change management activities, including communication and training for production operators and management on new systems and processes.
