In this role, you’ll design, implement, and support data flows, interfaces, and analytics tools that connect manufacturing operations to corporate systems and decision-making. You’ll collaborate with teams across various disciplines and departments, as well as with outside vendors, to ensure systems are reliable, secure, and scalable. This is a hands-on, high-impact position where you’ll contribute directly to Bobrick’s digital transformation (MES rollout, Spec2saw workflows, AI/analytics projects).
Design-to-Manufacturing Data Integration
- Identify opportunities to streamline system interfaces and eliminate manual data handling.
- Create and maintain documentation, playbooks, and training materials for engineers and operators.
- Support connectivity between shop-floor equipment (PLCs, CNCs, vision systems, torque tools) and higher-level systems using industrial protocols such as OPC UA, MQTT/Sparkplug, Modbus, PackML, and MTConnect.
- Work with IT on infrastructure, APIs, and cybersecurity.
- Configure and maintain historians or time-series databases to capture and analyze equipment and process data.
- Partner with divisional Manufacturing Engineers to capture requirements and connect local equipment.
- Support change management initiatives by training and empowering plant super-users.
- Collaborate with IT team maintain compliance with cybersecurity and access control standards (ISA/IEC 62443, Purdue model).
- Support initiatives that connect CAD/CAM/BIM tools with enterprise and shop-floor systems (ERP, MES, QMS, WMS).
- Foster a fearless and trusting culture.
- Develop and maintain data pipelines to extract product specifications, bills of materials (BOMs), and design attributes from design tools and integrate them into Bobrick’s internal systems.
- Balances hands-on technical work with project responsibilities such as documentation, training, and vendor coordination.
- Document integration architectures through Interface Control Documents (ICDs), diagrams, and configuration standards.
- Develop SQL queries, ETL pipelines, and reporting structures for MES and OT data.
- Assist in developing and maintaining system integrations across MES, ERP, QMS, and WMS platforms.
- Clearly communicate integration and data requirements to teams across Supply Chain, Finance, and Quality.
- Configure IoT gateways and middleware platforms (e.g., Ignition, Kepware, Kafka, MuleSoft) to maintain secure and reliable data transfer.
- Treat everyone with dignity and respect. Embrace all backgrounds and experiences, promote equity, and be inclusive. Help each employee develop and achieve their potential.
- Document workflows, mappings, and standards for ongoing governance and reuse.
- Participate in Spec2saw (end-to-end digitization) initiatives to ensure MES and shop-floor integrations align with upstream workflows (CAD/CAM, ERP).
- Act as a technical liaison with external vendors to ensure adherence to Bobrick standards.
- Support AI/ML projects by preparing datasets, documenting integration requirements, and embedding insights into MES/QMS workflows.
- Ensure that data from design through manufacturing is accurately structured, validated, and mapped for production scheduling and execution.
- Contribute to MES rollout projects by supporting integrations, data modeling, and validation activities.
- Research and evaluate new OT/IT integration technologies and propose implementation strategies.
- Build real-time dashboards and visualizations using Power BI and Tableau to monitor KPIs such as OEE, downtime, scrap, and yield.
- Collaborate with IT, Engineering, and Business Units to achieve integration objectives.
- Offer the best value: Provide products and services which best meet each customer's needs.
