Technical Lead - MES Solutions

Overview

RoviSys is seeking an experienced engineering professional to lead the delivery of holistic MES solutions across industries, including Production Management, Directed Work, Quality, Traceability, Maintenance Management, and Performance. This role goes beyond execution: you will help shape the future of MES by applying AI, DevOps principles, and next-generation requirement definition strategies, strengthening our DxOps Transformation service offerings.

We work with leading manufacturers in semiconductors, life sciences, discrete manufacturing, consumer goods, and specialty chemicals, industries at the forefront of technological progress. Our mission is to help these customers produce valuable products more efficiently, more reliably, and with greater quality.

Unlike legacy projects that rely on lengthy, monolithic specifications, our approach emphasizes iterative requirement definition. We collaborate directly with customers, blending proven MES frameworks with modern discovery and refinement techniques that allow for flexibility, faster validation, and more resilient deployments.

If you are motivated by both technical depth and innovation, this is an opportunity to influence how global manufacturers adopt and sustain digital execution.
