• Troubleshoot and resolve production incidents, providing hands-on support during core hours and escalation as required
• Work with manufacturing engineers to translate shop floor requirements into MES functionality
• Contribute to documentation: functional specs, configuration guides, and support runbooks
• Participate in continuous improvement of MES processes and system performance

Essential Experience

• Demonstrable hands-on experience with DELMIA Apriso (configuration, Process Builder, deployment)
• Strong understanding of MES concepts and their application in a discrete or process manufacturing environment
• Experience integrating MES with shop floor equipment and enterprise systems (ERP/PLM)
• Comfortable working independently and delivering to project timelines
• Strong stakeholder communication skills - able to work with both technical teams and shop floor operations
