MES Solution Architect and Web Developer Manager

Role Overview

Lead the strategy, design, and support of manufacturing execution systems (MES) and manufacturing web applications. This is a hybrid role: you will be the hands-on technical architect who sets the direction for MES and manufacturing technology, while also managing the team of MES and Web Developers who build and support those systems.

What You Will Do

Define and own the technical roadmap and strategy for MES and manufacturing web/data-collection applications. Evaluate, select, and design the manufacturing systems architecture to ensure reliable operation, scalability, and growth.

Why It Might Be a Fit

You will own the “how” — deciding whether a requirement should be built in-house or sourced externally, designing the right technical solution for each manufacturing need, and personally leading key projects from concept to deployment — all while balancing what matters most to the business against cost, risk, and speed.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Systems, or a related field.
• 5–10 years of relevant experience in manufacturing systems/MES, application support, or software/solution architecture.
• Prior experience leading or managing a technical team is required.

• Technical knowledge of MES applications (Wonderware, SCADA, or equivalent) and manufacturing/data-collection systems.
• Cloud services and IIoT/AI experience.
• IT security and cybersecurity fundamentals; ISO 27000 knowledge.
• Web servers and web services administration.
• Database administration; Linux server administration and operations.
• Networking fundamentals (IP network configuration).
