• System Integration & Administration: Support the design, configuration, and maintenance of MES platforms (Tempo, Syncade, or equivalent) with an emphasis on seamless integration between MES, automation layers, and enterprise IT systems.

• Technical System Management: Focus on backend system logic, data flows, interface troubleshooting, and platform performance optimization.

• Programming & Data Analysis: Utilize basic programming and querying skills (SQL, Python, or C#) to analyze system performance, write data extraction scripts, and resolve technical integration issues.

• Compliance & CSV Support: Ensure system changes adhere to GxP regulations, GAMP guidelines, and Computer System Validation (CSV) standards.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with automation engineers, IT integration teams, and manufacturing operations to deliver robust, compliant digital manufacturing solutions.

Required Qualifications & Technical Skills

• Total Experience: 2–4 years of hands-on technical experience with MES platforms, preferably within pharmaceutical or biotechnology Drug Product manufacturing environments.
