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.

Key Responsibilities

Enterprise System Integration

Design, build, and maintain data integration workflows connecting MES, ERP, PLM, QMS, and supporting enterprise platforms.

Develop and own integration pipelines between systems such as Apriso (Delmia), NetSuite, ForProject, Empower, and 3DX PLM.

Architect and implement API-based, event-driven, and batch integration patterns across cloud and on-premises manufacturing systems.

Build and maintain data flows that support production execution, material management, traceability, scheduling, and quality processes.

Partner with ERP, MES, and PLM implementation teams to design integration points, data contracts, and transformation logic ahead of go-live milestones.

Support multi-site rollout strategies by building reusable, configurable integration templates that can be replicated across facilities.

Manufacturing Data Workflows & Traceability

Design data workflows that support grain-level and sublot traceability across the full manufacturing lifecycle.

Build pipelines that enforce compliance checkpoints including pot life hard stops, e-signature requirements, and hold point validations.

Integrate with LIMS systems to support quality data capture, lab result ingestion, and traceability linkage to production records.

Support automated generation of regulatory document packages (travelers, WARPs, and production records) through structured data workflows.

Develop integrations with PLC/SCADA and automated traceability systems where applicable.

Data Pipeline Development & Architecture

Build and maintain scalable ELT/ETL pipelines for operational, analytical, and compliance reporting workloads.

Architect data flows from source systems through transformation and serving layers with full lineage, observability, and auditability.

Implement data quality frameworks including validation rules, anomaly detection, and SLA monitoring across all pipeline stages.

Define data models, naming conventions, and integration standards in collaboration with the Enterprise Architect and platform teams.

Manage infrastructure-as-code for data integration resources using Terraform or CloudFormation.

Compliance & Regulatory Data Support

Ensure all data workflows and integration designs support applicable regulatory and quality standards including AS9100, DCMA, ATF, and ITAR/EAR.

Build audit-ready data trails and evidence packages that satisfy regulatory inspection and certification requirements.

Partner with compliance, cybersecurity, and quality teams to ensure data handling controls meet organizational and contractual obligations.

Enforce CUI data classification and handling requirements across all integrated systems and pipeline stages.

S. Person required, as defined under ITAR/EAR.

Cloud & Infrastructure

Administer and optimize cloud data services across Azure Government and AWS GovCloud supporting manufacturing data workloads.

Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for deploying integration artifacts, data pipelines, and configuration changes across environments.

Write and maintain automation scripts in Python and/or PowerShell to support integration operations, data validation, and workflow automation.

Monitor integration health, data freshness, and pipeline performance; implement proactive alerting and self-healing mechanisms.

Collaboration & Documentation

Work closely with operations, engineering, IT, and compliance stakeholders to translate manufacturing requirements into data integration solutions.

Create and maintain thorough documentation for all integration designs, data dictionaries, workflow diagrams, and compliance evidence.

Participate in architecture reviews, sprint planning, and cross-functional implementation working groups.

Serve as a technical resource and mentor for junior data engineers and integration analysts on the team.
