MES Solution Architect

Role Overview:

The MES Solution Architect is responsible for end-to-end architecture, design, and delivery of Manufacturing Execution System (MES) solutions across complex manufacturing environments. The role requires deep expertise in Siemens Opcenter / Camstar platforms, strong understanding of Industry 4.0, and hands-on experience translating manufacturing processes into scalable, integrated digital manufacturing solutions aligned with global standards

Key Responsibilities

MES Architecture & Standards Alignment

 Architect, design, and lead MES implementations using Siemens Opcenter Core, Electronics, MDD, Semi and/or Delmia Apriso.

 Define MES reference architecture and solution blueprints aligned to ISA-95 and ISA-88 standards.

 Ensure clear separation and integration across ISA-95 levels (ERP, MES/MOM, Control, Field).

 ApplyISA-88 concepts such as equipment models, operations, phases, and recipes where applicable.

 Standardize MES designs formulti-plant and global rollout scenarios.

Integration & Interoperability

 Design and govern MES–ERP integration (SAP preferred) including master data, production orders, inventory, and quality data.

 LeadCamstar Interoperability (CIO) / MOM module implementations for equipment and ERP integration.

 Develop and manageinbound and outbound messaging, ensuring secure and reliable data exchange.

 Architect shop-floor connectivity with PLC, SCADA, OPC (UA), IoT platforms, and Edge systems

Cloud, Infrastructure & DevOps

 Design and deploy MES solutions on AWS or Microsoft Azure, including hybrid architectures.

 Define containerized and microservices-based deployments usingDocker, Kubernetes, and DevOps pipelines.

 Collaborate onnetwork design, Windows system administration, cybersecurity, and infrastructure services.

 Design database architectures using Oracle, SQL Server, and PostgreSQL, ensuring performance and scalability

Development & Low-Code Enablement

 Provide technical leadership for MES customization using .NET, C#, PowerShell, VB, VBScript.

 Oversee development standards, code quality, performance tuning, and maintainability.

 Enable rapid extensions using low-code / no-code platforms (Mendix) for user facing applications and workflows

Reporting, Analytics & Industry 4.0

 Architectmanufacturing reports, dashboards, and KPIs usingPower BI, SSRS, and Crystal Reports.

 Enablegenealogy, traceability, quality analytics, and production performance monitoring.

 ApplyIndustry 4.0 technologies including IoT, historians, edge computing, cyber security, digital twins, and digital control towers.

 Support smart factory initiatives such as paperless manufacturing and real-time operational visibility

Leadership & Stakeholder Engagement

 Act as a solution authority and technical mentor for MES delivery teams.

 Leadtechnical workshops, solution reviews, and architecture governance.

 Supportpre-sales activities including solution definition, estimations, demos, and customer presentations.

 Collaborate with business, IT, automation, and operations stakeholders to align MES capabilities with business outcomes

Required Technical Skills MES & Manufacturing Systems
