Responsibilities

Own the MES end to end: configuration, work order and process plan templates, NC/CAPA workflows, inventory, and receiving inspection, so builds flow and the floor never waits on software
Administer manufacturing systems security and role-based access control (RBAC), including role design, onboarding/offboarding provisioning, and periodic access reviews in an ITAR-controlled environment
Own and harden the MES <> ERP integrations (REST APIs) for items and units of measure, work orders, transfers, inventory adjustments, purchase orders, and item receipts, including monitoring, error handling, reconciliation and more.
Partner with PLM and engineering to mature the eBOM to MBOM flow from PLM/CAD into the MES, and support data exchange with CAM and electronics design (ECAD) tools
Own the shop-floor data model on the MES SQL database backend so that production, quality, and inventory data is accurate, traceable, and trusted by technicians, engineering, and leadership
Own manufacturing reporting and analytics, from building reports, dashboards, and KPIs yourself (SQL, BI tools) to partnering with data analysts and functional SMEs to architect the best-fit reports, dashboards, and metrics for production, quality, inventory, and supply chain
Integrate adjacent systems, including quality inspection and supplier portal systems (receiving/FAIR inspection automation and supplier FAIR), procurement/P2P and AP systems, and test data and telemetry platforms. Scope and deliver API integrations with other home-grown systems and utilities.
Design and ship applied AI solutions, such as LLM agents for work instruction authoring, NC triage, and root cause analysis, AI-assisted integration development, and ML on production and inspection data
Lead build-vs-buy evaluations and, where it makes sense, prototype and deliver in-house tools for MES, MRP, purchasing, and EHS workflows with the Enterprise Systems team
Run the bi-weekly MES meeting: collect requests from manufacturing, quality, supply chain, and engineering, prioritize the backlog, and communicate releases and changes
Support vendor management for the MES and related shop-floor tools, including support escalations, release adoption, contract renewals, and roadmap influence
Maintain the manufacturing systems roadmap and provide input to the 2027 Enterprise Systems budget (licenses, integrations, headcount, and build initiatives)

Required

Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field, or equivalent experience
5+ years of experience in manufacturing engineering, manufacturing systems, or factory data/software in a hardware production environment, including 2+ years hands-on configuring, administering, or programming a commercial or in-house MES
Working knowledge of how MES, ERP, and PLM interact, including work orders, BOMs/MBOMs, routings, material consumption, receipts, nonconformances, and traceability
Proficiency in SQL and Python for querying, transforming, and automating manufacturing data, and experience working with REST APIs and JSON
Hands-on experience building reports and dashboards with SQL and BI tools, and translating stakeholder questions into clear KPIs and metrics
Applied AI experience (required): you have shipped production use of LLMs/agents, ML models on manufacturing or operational data, or AI-assisted development and automation, and can show the results
Strong floor presence and communication skills with technicians, engineers, quality, and leadership. You design systems around how work actually gets done
Ability to work on-site in Torrance, CA 5 days a week, with occasional travel to New Mexico

Preferred

Hands-on experience with the specific tools in our stack is a strong plus. We are hiring a manufacturing systems domain expert, not a single-application specialist, so nice-to-have experience includes:
Manufacturo (or other MES) administration, including RBAC, templates, and ERP integration
NetSuite (SuiteScript/RESTlets) or another ERP integration in a manufacturing environment, and Teamcenter/NX with eBOM to MBOM processes
Power BI or similar BI tools, data pipelines (Airflow or similar), and MLOps/CI/CD (Docker, Git)
Jira/Confluence for backlog management, release communication, and documentation
Quality, supplier, procurement, and test systems such as Magenta, Ground Control, Ramp, Silkline, Sift, or Forge
Experience with LLM agent frameworks, retrieval over technical documents, or computer vision for inspection and anomaly detection
Background in high-reliability or high-volume manufacturing (aerospace, defense, semiconductor, or automotive), including SPC, FAIR/AS9102, and NC/CAPA processes
