About the Role

Key Responsibilities

• Lead deployment, configuration, and optimization of MES modules covering work orders, routing, WIP, traceability, quality, and production performance.
• Integrate MES with ERP, SCADA, automation controllers, SMT/THT/test equipment, and shop-floor systems.
• Define data models, machine interfaces, and communication protocols (OPC, MQTT, REST APIs, SQL).
• Guide MES customizations for EMS-specific requirements such as yield capture, rework loops, genealogy, and process controls.
• Lead UAT, validation, commissioning, and rollout of MES enhancements and new modules.
• Build dashboards, KPIs, and analytics for productivity, OEE, quality, and bottleneck visibility.
• Mentor junior MES engineers and serve as the technical point of contact for MES issues.
• Conduct root-cause analysis for system failures and ensure long-term corrective actions.
• Maintain documentation, specs, interface definitions, and change records.
• Ensure MES compliance with IPC, ISO, customer audits, and traceability requirements.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s/Master’s in Electronics, Electrical, Computer Science, Industrial Engineering, or related fields.
• 8–14 years of MES experience in EMS/electronics/high-volume manufacturing.
• Strong hands-on expertise with major MES platforms (e.g., Siemens Opcenter, iTAC, Cogiscan, Aegis, etc.).
• Proven experience in machine integration across SMT, AOI, SPI, THT, testing, and assembly operations.
• Proficiency with SQL, scripting, data modeling, and industrial communication protocols.
• Strong understanding of PCBA processes, routing, test flows, and yield/defect analytics.

What We Look For

• Leadership capability to drive cross-functional MES initiatives.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving mindset.
• Ability to manage multi-phase MES projects end-to-end.
• Effective communication and documentation skills.
