Position Overview:

The Local MES Process Engineer is responsible for configuring and parametrizing the MES (Manufacturing Execution System) model to accurately represent all production work centers, equipment, and manufacturing processes. This role ensures that the digital MES workflows reflect real-world operations, meet regulatory requirements, and support efficient, validated production execution. The engineer works cross-functionally with manufacturing, quality, IT, and MES solution architects to ensure successful system deployment and process validation.

Key Responsibilities:   

• Configure and parameterize the MES model (e.g., workflows, operations, recipes, resource allocation) to reflect actual production processes across all work centers.
• Map equipment, materials, process steps, and quality checkpoints into the MES system.
• Conduct gap analysis between MES capabilities and current manufacturing practices and recommend process standardizations or optimizations.
• Support creation and maintenance of MES master data: work orders, BOMs, routings, material attributes, machine parameters, etc.
• Lead or support process validation activities, including execution and documentation of IQ/OQ/PQ protocols.
• Work with QA, validation, and regulatory teams to ensure compliance with GxP, data integrity, and computer system validation (CSV) requirements.
• Coordinate with IT and system integrators to ensure smooth integration with ERP, LIMS, SCADA, or other plant systems.
• Support MES rollout planning, including pilot execution, site-specific adaptation, training support, and hypercare post go-live.
• Troubleshoot MES-related process issues and coordinate resolution.
• Maintain version-controlled documentation for configured processes and validated digital workflows.

Skills & Experience:

• Strong understanding of manufacturing processes in regulated industries (pharma, biotech, medical devices, etc.).
• Hands-on experience with MES platforms (e.g., Siemens Opcenter, Werum PAS-X, Rockwell PharmaSuite, GE Proficy, etc.).
• Knowledge of ISA-95 model, electronic batch records (EBR), and equipment/material master data structures.
• Experience in process validation and computer system validation (CSV) activities in a GxP environment.
• Understanding of integration with ERP (SAP, Oracle), historians, and automation systems.
• Familiarity with regulatory and quality compliance standards (21 CFR Part 11, EU Annex 11, ALCOA+, GAMP 5).
• Strong analytical, documentation, and problem-solving skills.

Ability to work cross-functionally and lead functional discussions between technical and business teams.
