Lead Manufacturing Systems Engineer
About The Position
Following our Q3 2025 NetSuite implementation, Osmo is entering a critical next phase: architecting the bridge between our digital core and our physical manufacturing floor. While NetSuite established a foundational ERP layer, integration with manufacturing workflows has been only partially successful. We are now implementing a new Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and deeply integrating it with NetSuite to create a reliable, scalable digital factory. This is not a narrow IT administration role. You will operate as the architect of our manufacturing systems stack—embedded in a high-performance engineering culture and partnered with dedicated SREs and Software Engineers who support infrastructure and custom middleware. You will leverage advanced AI development tools (Cursor, Copilot, etc.) to accelerate development, documentation, and data governance, allowing you to focus on system architecture and operational impact.
Requirements
- NetSuite Certification
- 3+ years working with MES in a production environment
- Proven experience designing ERP–MES integrations
- Strong understanding of batch or process manufacturing (chemical, fragrance, food, or similar)
- Proficiency in JavaScript (SuiteScript), Python, or SQL
- Deep understanding of inventory transaction flows and their financial implications
- Experience working alongside software engineers and understanding API architecture
- Experience integrating ERP systems with robotics or IoT hardware
- Background in regulated manufacturing environments (GMP or similar)
Responsibilities
- Architect the Digital Factory
- Own the selection, technical architecture, and configuration of our new MES platform and its integration with NetSuite
- Assess and stabilize current NetSuite manufacturing configurations, improving reliability of inventory transactions, costing, and production flows
- Define clear system-of-record boundaries between ERP and MES
- Establish scalable integration patterns to support long-term growth
- Engineer Robust Integrations
- Partner with SRE and Software Engineering teams to design and build API-first integrations between ERP, MES, and physical hardware (robotic dosing systems, QC sensors, label printing)
- Design bidirectional data flows for process orders, BOMs, material consumption, and batch genealogy
- Implement resilient error handling, reconciliation logic, and auditability across systems
- Ensure accurate financial impact of inventory movements and production transactions
- Digitize Fragrance Chemistry
- Translate complex fragrance manufacturing workflows—recipe scaling, submix creation, material allocation—into scalable system logic
- Design intuitive shop floor interfaces for manual dosing guidance and automated batch sheet generation
- Implement quality control workflows ensuring full traceability from raw materials to finished goods
- Maintain 100% batch genealogy and compliance-ready data structures
- Data Governance & System Ownership
- Establish master data governance standards for materials, BOMs, process instructions, and suppliers
- Define validation rules and transaction controls to protect data integrity
- Act as Product Owner for internal manufacturing systems, continuously refining workflows based on real-time floor feedback
- Document system architecture, integration patterns, and operational playbooks
- Innovation & AI-Augmented Development
- Leverage internal AI tools to accelerate SuiteScript development, automate documentation, and streamline data mapping
- Continuously improve system performance and usability
- Identify opportunities to automate reconciliation, validation, and reporting workflows
