MES Engineer

As the Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) Engineer, you will bridge shop-floor control
systems, quality assurance, and enterprise IT networks to deliver a secure, compliant, and highly
available digital production environment. You will report directly to the IT / Infrastructure Manager
and collaborate closely with Process Automation Engineers, Quality Assurance (QA), and
Production teams.
This role is paramount for standardizing Master Data Management (MDM) and batch records,
linking equipment instrumentation with enterprise software, and embedding error-proofing into the
IT process flow to guarantee quality from the start.

What You Will Do
1. Recipe & Execution Management (MDM)
○ Standardize, configure, and maintain Master Data Management (MDM), Electronic
Batch Records (eBR), and Master Batch Records (MBR) for propellant
manufacturing workflows.
○ Translate operational and chemical recipe procedures into structured, digital
execution flows, including error-proofing of the human interface.
○ Ensure eBR/MBR design aligns with strict quality, defense manufacturing, and
validation standards in close collaboration with QA.

2. System & Level 2–3 Integration
○ Connect Level 0–1 SCADA, PLCs, and IoT devices with Level 3 enterprise systems
(SAP ERP, LIMS) in close collaboration with Process Automation Engineers.
○ Maintain database connectors, SQL integrations, and data exchanges between
shop-floor hardware and management software.

3. Process Optimization & Compliance
○ Ensure 100% end-to-end batch traceability, parameter limits, and execution logging
for high-risk chemical production aligned with GxP, ISO 9001, and defense
standards.
○ Analyze execution data alongside Process Automation and Production teams to
eliminate manual bottlenecks, improve UI/UX terminal usability, and drive real-time
OEE, yield, and downtime tracking.

4. Maintenance, Safety & Operational Support
○ Design systems with built-in redundancy and conduct P-FMEA for IT scenario
planning (e.g., connection loss or power outages).
○ Promptly troubleshoot, diagnose, and resolve Level 2 shop-floor software incidents,
database anomalies, and execution halts.
○ Manage software upgrades, patch deployments, and operator training without
disrupting production schedules.

What We Offer
● A rare career opportunity to lead digital execution architecture for one of Denmark’s most
unique industrial and defense-tech projects.
● A role where your expertise directly determines the operational efficiency, traceability, and
integrity of safety-critical products.
● A professional, international environment with a clear mission and purpose.
● Top-of-market compensation for the right experience.
● Brand-new factory & equipment.
● Modern office with gym, sauna & social spaces.
● Real authority, Greenfield impact, Zero toxic culture, Mastery over busywork.
● Work that protects freedom and life.
What We Are Looking For
You are an analytical, quality-minded engineer with a hands-on approach to bridging complex
technical gaps between IT, QA, and shop-floor operations.

Requirements:
● Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Automation Engineering, Software
Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline.
● Experience: 3+ years of hands-on experience in MES configuration, execution layer
engineering, or industrial automation in high-quality manufacturing environments.
● Technical Proficiency: Technical proficiency with major MES platforms (e.g., PAS-X,
Siemens Opcenter, Rockwell FTPC, Ignition) and complex SQL database management.
● Integration Expertise: Proven experience connecting shop-floor hardware (SCADA/PLCs)
to Level 3 Enterprise systems (ERP/SAP, LIMS).
● Standards & Security: Knowledge of GxP, ISO regulatory frameworks, and industrial
cybersecurity concepts.
● Languages: Fluent in English (spoken and written); Danish is an advantage.
