Manufacturing rare earth magnets for a secure, resilient future. Backed by Space Capital.
About the role
As the Digital Manufacturing Lead you will own the digital manufacturing layer - SCADA, batch execution, historian, MES, and the plant data layer - for a massive 1 million square foot manufacturing facility expansion. You will lead the SCADA, MES, and data engineers who build the manufacturing stack.
What they're looking for
- Own the cell/area normalization layer that takes non-standard OEM skids and presents one consistent model of the plant to every system above it. Architecture, build sequence, redundancy, and failure behavior
- Lead the remaining platform evaluations - batch execution, historian architecture, SCADA, and the MES integration pattern
- Own the MES thread across the running pilot and the larger facility implementation - production order flow, electronic batch records, material genealogy, and the ERP interface contract
- Own the plant information model and the reporting layer built on it - OEE, downtime, yield, and quality visibility that process engineering, quality, and operations can act on without an engineer
- Normalization layer architecture, unified namespace specification, plant information model, tag and equipment naming standards, and platform evaluation decision records
- Control room and plant floor HMI screens, tag databases, alarm configuration, historian collection standards, MES/SCADA transaction lists, network and IP lists, password inventories, and system backups
