What this job asks for AI summary
This role centers on owning a Manufacturing Execution System (Manufacturo) from end to end at a drone hardware production company. Day-to-day work spans system administration, configuring workflows and work instructions, building integrations with ERP and PLM tools, and supporting technicians on the production floor. It suits an engineer with hands-on MES experience who is equally comfortable in a system back-end and on a live manufacturing floor.

Why we read it this way (8)
The job location is not specified in the posting; no CBSA or state could be determined. The role involves significant production floor presence, so it is almost certainly on-site at a Neros facility.
SOC classification is a genuine judgment call. The role is primarily about owning and configuring a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) — a business/systems analyst function — rather than building software from scratch, which points to 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts). However, the integration-building and API work push it toward a developer or IT specialist role; 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is the runner-up.
Seniority is assessed as Mid: the 3+ years requirement and the scope (owning one platform end-to-end within a single facility) are consistent with a mid-level individual contributor, despite the high advertised salary range.
The degree requirement is listed as 'Bachelor's degree in engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience,' so no formal degree is hard-gated.
Manufacturo is called out as 'a strong plus' rather than strictly required, but the JD places it in the required qualifications block alongside other MES platforms — the requirement is for MES administration experience broadly, with Manufacturo as the preferred specific tool. It is captured as the primary skill with alternatives.
ERP integration knowledge (work orders, BOMs, material consumption) is required; specific ERP platforms (SAP S/4HANA, NetSuite, Odoo) appear only under 'Nice to have' and are marked preferred accordingly.
Regulated-environment experience (AS9100, ISO 9001, ITAR) and Lean manufacturing background appear under 'Nice to have' and are marked preferred.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): MES administration.
