MES Solution Architect

Orland Park IL, United States RSM Solutions, Inc Full time

For those of you who haven't read my job descriptions before, welcome to the party....This JD is a revision of a previous MES Solution Architect role I had been working on for a while. There is a stronger focus on Manufacturing Systems experience in tandem with experience working shop floor integration work.

This role is permanent and being done onsite Monday through Friday onsite in Orland Park, Illinois. After about 3 months, this role can work in a hybrid manner with 2-3 days a week. You will be traveling, realistically 25-35%. That travel to customer sites can be included in that 'onsite' time.

I am only looking at candidates that are local to Chicagoland. If you are looking to relocate for this role, that is fine...but there are no relocation dollars available for thsi role.
I can only work with US Citizens or Green Card Holders for this role.

We are seeking what this firm is calling a 'MES Solution Architect'. Ideally, we are seeking candidates that have experience either with home grown MES's, or experience with MES's like GE Proficy, Rockwell Plex, FactorTalk, Siemens Opcenter, Oracle Cloud Manufacturing, Critical Manufacturing MES, AVEVA, Forcam, etc.

However, if your experience is rather light when it comes to MES's systems, but you do have experience with shop floor integration tools, lots of shop floor & manufacturing experience, a solid understanding of manufacturing fundamentals (CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, extrusions, castings, injection molding, etc), that could create a good fit. In this role, you will be working with a small team of solution architects and working with that team to integrate this client's MES into their client's systems.
Most of the companies you will be working with are manufacturing firms with employees of right around 500 employees or less.
Conduct detailed workshops with customer subject matter experts to analyze and document manufacturing processes.
Define and document functional and technical solutions required to implement an MES in the customer’s environment.
Lead MES configuration and implementation activities within clients’ IT and manufacturing infrastructure. This will include training sessions, ongoing instruction and guidance and with users.

At least 10 years of experience working with manufacturing firms with regards to shop floor integration and / or MES systems. From an integration standpoint, if you have experience with integrating shop floor systems with ERP's, WMS's, and QMS's that would be spot on with regards to what we are seeking.
An absolute must is systems experience in shop floor and manufacturing integration (specifically discrete manufacturing vs process manufacturing).
Experience working with manufacturing workflows, BOMs, system setups, production planning, and trace & tracking.
