  • Support validation documentation including URS, FRS, SDS, IQ/OQ protocols, and change control documentation.
  • Integrate manufacturing data sources (PLCs, historians, MES, etc.) to improve operational visibility and reporting.
  • Develop monitoring and alerting tools to proactively detect system issues.
  • Participate in and support regulatory inspections and audits.
  • Collaborate with Corporate IT to maintain secure and compliant OT/IT network integration.
  • Provide on-call support for critical manufacturing systems as required.

How will you get here?

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related technical field is highly preferred. Associate Degree or equivalent is required.
  • Equivalent combination of education and relevant experience may be considered.
  • 2+ years of experience supporting automation systems in a regulated manufacturing environment (pharmaceutical, biotech, medical device preferred).
  • Hands-on experience with DCS and PLC platforms (DeltaV, Rockwell, Siemens, etc.).
  • Experience with system commissioning, loop tuning, and startup activities.
  • Experience supporting GMP change control and validation processes.

Technical Knowledge

  • Strong understanding of PLC and DCS programming, including ladder logic and function block programming.
  • Knowledge of industrial networking (TCP/IP, VLANs, firewalls, managed switches).
  • Experience with data historians, SQL databases, and manufacturing data integration.
  • Familiarity with 21 CFR Part 11, data integrity principles, and GMP automation requirements.
  • Experience with SCADA system configuration and maintenance.
  • Understanding of ISA-88 batch control concepts (preferred).

Behavioral Competencies

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
