• Enable end-to-end product lifecycle flow: Engineering design → PLM → ERP → manufacturing
• Improve engineering change workflows (ECO/ECR) and traceability
• Design, support, and maintain integrations across: ERP, PLM, engineering tools, and reporting systems
• Troubleshoot and fix broken or outdated integrations
• Ensure consistent data mapping and synchronization across systems
• Support API, middleware, or ETL-based integration approaches

• Support implementation of: Role-based access control (RBAC), Endpoint security and device compliance, Data protection and IP controls
• Align with frameworks such as NIST/CIS
• Support traceability requirements in safety-critical environments (e.g., SIL3 context)

Qualifications

• 5–10+ years in Systems Administration / IT Operations roles
• Strong experience with: ERP systems (SYSPRO strongly preferred), PLM systems (Arena or similar), Engineering tool integration (Altium or similar CAD/EDA tools)
• Experience supporting manufacturing or industrial environments
• Hands-on experience with: Data integrity, master data management, System integrations (APIs, middleware, ETL)
• Strong troubleshooting and root cause analysis skills

What Success Looks Like

• Clean, reliable data across SYSPRO and Arena

• Reduced manual workarounds and improved process adherence
• Improved reporting and decision-making capabilities
• Stable, scalable system foundation supporting business growth

Profile We're Looking For

• Hands-on, detail-oriented, and process-driven
• Comfortable working across engineering, operations, and IT
