We are seeking an MES & Equipment Integration Engineer to provide daily support for MES and related shop-floor applications and maintain connectivity and data exchange between production equipment, PLCs, SCADA, data collection platforms, and manufacturing applications.

This role requires an understanding of manufacturing processes and practical experience with equipment interfaces or industrial data collection. The engineer will troubleshoot common MES issues and work with Automation, Maintenance, Engineering, and vendors to resolve issues between equipment and application systems, supporting production continuity, data accuracy, and product traceability.

The role will also support new programs, equipment, and production lines by defining requirements, configuring systems, testing interfaces, and supporting launch activities, translating production, process, quality, and customer requirements into working equipment and system integrations.

Key Responsibilities

  Help associate critical process parameters, measurements, and test results with product serial numbers or batches, operations, and equipment. Where required, support approved parameter or recipe downloads, execution confirmation, and exception handling. Work with Process Engineering, Quality, and Automation to verify parameter accuracy and traceability completeness.
• Project Implementation and On-Site Launch Support
  Participate in requirements analysis, equipment interface definition, system configuration, installation, deployment, integration testing, user acceptance testing, and launch support for new equipment, production lines, and plant projects, including those in Alabama. Help validate normal production, communication interruptions, reconnection, and data recovery scenarios, and track issues through closure.
• Manufacturing and Logistics Systems Coordination
  Work with the SAP PP specialist and master data owners to validate MES configurations and mappings for production orders, materials, operations, and work centers.
