• Develop solutions that support production monitoring, performance tracking, process control, and operational decision-making.
• Apply industrial automation standards and software development best practices to ensure maintainable, secure, and reliable systems.
Systems Support & Troubleshooting
• Provide technical support, troubleshooting, and proactive maintenance for plant-floor applications and industrial control systems.
• Diagnose and resolve issues involving SCADA applications, HMIs, databases, system integrations, and PLC communications.
• Collaborate with IT, Engineering, Maintenance, and external vendors to resolve complex technical issues.
• Support production-critical systems through a 24/7 on-call availability requirement, including after-hours troubleshooting when necessary.
• Identify recurring system issues and implement long-term improvements to increase reliability and reduce operational disruptions.
Project Management & Technical Collaboration
• Lead and coordinate operations technology projects from requirements gathering through development, testing, deployment, and ongoing support.
• Develop implementation plans that minimize production interruptions and account for operational risks.
• Manage project timelines, priorities, deliverables, and stakeholder communications.
• Maintain a prioritized backlog of system enhancements and development opportunities aligned with business and operational needs.
• Create technical documentation, system architecture diagrams, user guides, and training materials.
• Train and support plant personnel on newly developed applications, system enhancements, and operational technology.
• Contribute to enterprise standards, reusable development practices, and continuous improvement initiatives across manufacturing systems.
