Operations Engineering (OED) is the central team that builds the software, tools, and factory-automation. In this role, you'll design and deliver custom software and automation for OED and Operations — integrating with MES and equipment on the manufacturing floor — and project-manage their rollout end-to-end, partnering across OED, OPS, ISD, SW&D, and Product Line PGs to ship solutions that move factory efficiency, yield, and productivity.

Key Responsibilities

Build & maintain custom software tools and automation for Operations Engineering and the manufacturing floor.
Integrate shop-floor equipment and MES via SECS/GEM to enable equipment connectivity, tool control, and real-time monitoring.
Develop & deploy containerized applications (Docker/Kubernetes) that connect operations systems and PMO workflows.
Drive projects from initiation through delivery — scope, schedule, risk, resourcing — interfacing with stakeholders across functions.
Define & improve engineering and project-management processes and standards (issue tracking, requirements management, progress metrics).
Collaborate with IT and third-party vendors on infrastructure, cloud, security, and shared tooling to keep solutions scalable and supportable.
