Production Systems Engineer
Chichester, West Sussex
£50,000 per annum
We are currently recruiting for an experienced Production Systems Engineer who will be responsible for maintaining our existing operations systems, consisting of custom databases and front ends, as well as off-the-shelf MRP systems.
This will cover systems for Goods In Inspection, MRP, manufacturing, test, inspection, calibration, and despatch. You will have a significant focus on working with the SLT to define a replacement of the existing off-the-shelf MRP system, with a modern, over-arching MRP/ERP system; plan and execute its implementation, specify which custom applications can be transferred into the core of the new MRP system, as well as modernising and improving custom, in-house apps that remain.
Production Systems Engineer Roles and Responsibilities:
- Develop, maintain, and improve existing proprietary systems (databases, frontends, reporting)
- Work closely with hardware and firmware engineers to develop production and test solutions for new and existing products
- Diagnose faults across production systems, fix and mitigate reoccurrence
- Introduce appropriate automated and unit testing to improve software and production-system reliability.
- Support existing business-critical applications while progressively modernising or replacing legacy solutions
- ERP/MRP & systems modernisation and implementation
- Integration of in-house custom systems with new MRP system
- Design, develop, validate, and maintain production test software and other internal applications, including APIs, database interfaces, and other integrations between ERP/MRP and proprietary systems, taking ownership of projects from requirements through deployment and ongoing support
- Identify legacy applications, databases, and manual processes that can be eliminated, simplified, or automated
- Work within relevant product compliance and regulatory requirements, including awareness of CE marking
