MES Project Engineer

MES Implementation (Go-Live Phase)

- Lead process mapping (PFMEA, Control Plans, Work Instructions) into MES workflows.

- Configure MES modules:

• Production scheduling & dispatching
• Real-time WIP tracking
• Electronic work instructions & paperless shop floor
• Quality checks, SPC, and non-conformance management
• OEE, downtime, and yield analytics

- Integrate MES with:

• ERP
• PLC/SCADA
• Automated equipment (robots, AOI, SMT lines) via OPC-UA, MQTT, or API

- Define and enforce master data standards (BOM, routings, resources, recipes).

- Conduct FAT/SAT, user training, and hyper-care support during ramp-up.

Sustainment & Continuous Improvement

- Monitor MES KPIs (data accuracy ≥99%, system uptime ≥99.5%).

- Troubleshoot integration failures and process gaps in real time.

- Lead root-cause analysis for production losses linked to digital execution.

- Drive Kaizen events to refine MES logic and reduce cycle time/variation.

- Manage change requests, version control, and regression testing for MES upgrades.

Education: Bachelor's degree in Industrial, Mechanical, Electrical, or Mechatronics Engineering.
