Full Job Posting

Responsibilities:

  • Connect manufacturing equipment to data collection and production systems, working hands-on with operators, Maintenance, Engineering, and IT to resolve plant-floor challenges.
  • Troubleshoot machine connectivity and data-flow issues, tracing problems from equipment and controls through databases, MES/SCADA, and reporting.
  • Implement and improve MES/SCADA solutions that give production teams accurate, useful visibility into operations and traceability.
  • Use SQL to investigate manufacturing data, validate results, and improve the reliability of production reports and KPIs.
  • Develop scripts and practical automations that reduce manual work and make manufacturing processes and data more dependable.
  • Translate production needs into workable solutions, test them at the equipment, and help teams adopt and sustain them across shifts.
  • Build on this plant-floor foundation to lead broader digital manufacturing projects, including future Smart Factory, Industry 4.0, and advanced analytics initiatives.

Qualifications:

  • Experience solving technical problems in a manufacturing environment, with a willingness to spend substantial time on the plant floor and work directly with equipment and production teams.
  • Hands-on experience troubleshooting machine connectivity, controls, manufacturing systems, or the flow of data between them.
  • Practical SQL skills, including writing queries and investigating data discrepancies before relying on reported results.
  • Ability to write or modify scripts in at least one language, such as Python, to automate tasks or solve operational problems.
  • Experience with MES, SCADA, machine data acquisition, or comparable manufacturing systems; familiarity with Ignition or industrial communication protocols is a plus.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to explain technical issues and solutions to operators, technicians, engineers, and leaders.
  • Demonstrated learning agility and ownership: able to work through unfamiliar problems, learn new technologies, and grow from hands-on implementation into broader digital project leadership.
  • The Freudenberg Group is an equal opportunity employer that is committed to diversity and inclusion. Employment opportunities are available to all applicants and associates without regard to race, color, religion, creed, gender (including pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, or related medical conditions), gender identity or expression, national origin, ancestry, age, mental or physical disability, genetic information, marital status, familial status, sexual orientation, protected military or veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by applicable law.
