The Senior Data Engineer is responsible for designing and implementing the data workflows, integrations, and pipelines that connect enterprise manufacturing, ERP, PLM, MES, and quality systems into a cohesive, governed data ecosystem. This role is critical to enabling end-to-end traceability, operational visibility, and regulatory compliance across multi-site manufacturing operations.
The ideal candidate brings deep experience integrating complex enterprise platforms in regulated manufacturing environments, is fluent in data engineering best practices, and can operate effectively across engineering, operations, IT, and compliance teams. This is a senior individual contributor role with high organizational visibility and direct impact on production operations. This is a remote role based in the US and requires the ability to maintain or obtain a DOD clearance.
