• Own machine permissives, MES enforcement logic, equipment stop conditions, operational controls, and the definition, documentation, validation, and support of PLC tags, machine states, OEE data points, recipe parameters, and equipment interfaces required for compliant manufacturing execution.
• Design, develop, test, validate, and troubleshoot MES integrations with production equipment, PLCs, HMIs, scanners, quality systems, and other plant-floor technologies. Guide equipment-to-HMI connectivity requirements and partner with site engineering teams to support PLC troubleshooting and integration activities.
• Collaborate with GE and OT teams to define and maintain MES-to-equipment integration standards, including nomenclature, hardware interface requirements, controls architecture alignment, and backward compatibility with existing assets. Review and provide technical input on MES designs, configurations, and deliverables developed by external integrators to ensure alignment with Rockline standards and operational requirements.
• Establish and maintain MES startup, shutdown, and operational protocols to ensure equipment and associate safety.
• Contribute to the development and phased rollout of the MES roadmap, supporting pilot definition, gap analysis, and deployment planning for future plant implementations.
• Actively support change management initiatives by partnering with MES change champions, gathering user feedback, and driving adoption across plant operations.
