• Maintain and troubleshoot the integration between SAP Business One ERP and LYNQ MES/APS platforms, ensuring accuracy and timely data flow.
• Monitor and drive improvement of planned versus actual production outcomes to strengthen schedule stability, lead time accuracy, and OTIF (On-Time In Full) delivery.
• Support and improve MES shop floor execution tools—terminals, scanners, and labels—to ensure precise data capture and boost user adoption.
• Lead user training, support critical validation/testing cycles (UAT/EUT), and guide post-go-live stabilization, including deep root-cause analysis.
• Identify, resolve, and prevent issues causing unstable schedules or data integrity challenges across manufacturing systems.
• Enhance data quality for BOM, routing, capacity, and inventory; identify bottlenecks and implement solutions for scheduling efficiency.

Must-Have Skills:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Industrial Engineering, Information Systems, or related field (or equivalent hands-on experience).

• 3+ years’ hands-on expertise with LYNQ MES/APS (or comparable shop floor execution/scheduling solutions) and SAP Business One or similar ERP (SQL-based).
• Deep knowledge of finite capacity scheduling, multi-level BOMs/routings, and manufacturing order execution.
• Strong skills in SQL and Excel for advanced data troubleshooting and systems support.
• Proven track record bridging system logic with physical shop floor constraints and operations feedback.

Nice-to-Have Skills:

• Experience specifically in the plastics manufacturing sector.
• Background in supporting ERP-to-MES integrations and data interface projects.
• Direct involvement with manufacturing process improvement initiatives or change management.
• Strong training and documentation abilities for end users and operational teams.
