**This position requires frequent travel to customer manufacturing plants across multiple locations to support MES implementations, commissioning, troubleshooting, and production operations.** MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems) Controls Engineer The MES Controls Engineer is responsible for supporting and optimizing manufacturing execution and automation systems in a high-volume discrete manufacturing environment, with an emphasis on real-time shop-floor execution, seamless ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) –MES–PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) integration, and sustained production reliability under strict uptime and quality requirements. CORE RESPONSIBILITIES * Provide support for MES–PLC integrations during system launches and periods of constrained production. * Configure, establish, and maintain MES-to-PLC communications * Integrate MES template routines and user-defined data types (UDTs) into PLC programs. * Assign, modify, and maintain PLC tags and logic required to send/receive MES transactions. * Collaborate with Process Engineers and the MES team to understand process scope and ensure proper MES integration. * Document all MES-related PLC changes and issues on production lines and communicate updates in a timely manner. * Troubleshoot PLC, HMI (Human Display Interface), and industrial network issues affecting MES execution. * Ensure accuracy of real-time production reporting through MES. * Support resolution of production execution issues impacting throughput or quality. * Partner with supervisors and operators to support effective MES workflows.



* Support quality enforcement and validation through MES. * Collaborate with Process Engineering to manage part numbers and part number groups within the MES system. * Assist with MES-related audits, investigations, and data requests. * Identify and recommend MES process and system improvement opportunities. * Support MES enhancements, system upgrades, and production rollouts. QUALIFICATIONS * Bachelor’s degree in engineering or a related technical discipline * 5+ years of hands‑on experience with Allen‑Bradley/Rockwell and Siemens tag‑based PLC and HMI systems. * Strong PLC and HMI troubleshooting and diagnostic skills. * Basic understanding of Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) preferred.
