You will embed with the vendor team implementing MES on our pilot as the designated knowledge-transfer engineer, close the pilot’s live data-integration gaps, and define the platform-neutral data architecture that survives whatever SCADA,&nbsp;batch,&nbsp;MES, and historian stack the site selects. As manufacturing scales, you will shape how the MES is implemented from pilot to production. This is a high-impact, high-ownership role requiring deep technical&nbsp;expertise&nbsp;across manufacturing systems and data&nbsp;engineering.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335557856&quot;:16777215,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><strong><span data-contrast="none">Responsibilities:</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335557856&quot;:16777215,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}">&nbsp;</span></p> <ul> <li><span data-contrast="none">Embed with the pilot MES implementation as the designated internal knowledge-transfer target with contractual handover criteria; own the system outright after vendor handover, through go-live and stabilization.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335557856&quot;:16777215,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="none">Close the pilot’s data-integration gaps: batch/tag contextualization, historian-to-record mapping, and reliable interface plumbing between plant-floor and business systems.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335557856&quot;:16777215,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="none">Design and&nbsp;operate&nbsp;the plant data architecture: entity models (material, batch, equipment, test results), the interface catalog, and an owned contextualization database independent of any single vendor platform.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335557856&quot;:16777215,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="none">Build
