Orbitworks is seeking a Manufacturing Systems & Tools Engineer to define, implement, and sustain the digital backbone of our satellite manufacturing operations. This cross-functional role will support the integration and ongoing development of ERP (NetSuite), PLM, and MES systems to ensure seamless manufacturing and test operations. The ideal candidate will serve as a key enabler across production, engineering, and supply chain by maintaining data integrity, supporting process digitization, and managing system interfaces. This is a foundational role for a lean, fast-growing space manufacturing startup. We are looking for a systems integrator who understands how tools and digital processes come together to enable scalable, efficient execution on the factory floor.
About this Role:
- Systems Ownership & Integration
- Lead configuration, deployment, and integration of NetSuite ERP, PLM, and MES.
- Define and manage data flows and interfaces between ERP, PLM, MES, and test environments.
- Serve as internal point of contact with implementation partners.
- Ensure data consistency across platforms (BOMs, inventory, work orders, as-built records).
- Manufacturing Enablement & Tooling Interfaces
- Support the definition and deployment of local systems at assembly and test stations (e.g., barcode scanners, tablets, HMI, operator guidance interfaces). Standardize mechanical and test station setups.
- Define requirements and processes for hardware/software interfaces that support assembly and testing workflows.
- Process & Workflow Digitization
- Collaborate with production and engineering teams to translate manual or ad hoc processes into structured digital workflows.
- Document processes, support user onboarding, and generate user guides and SOPs.
- Identify opportunities to streamline manufacturing execution through better data capture and tool usability.
- System Sustainment & Support
- Provide first-line support to internal users post-deployment.
- Track and manage ongoing improvements, upgrades, and change requests.
- Support onboarding of new employees and provide training on key digital tools.
Must Haves:
- 7+ years’ experience in manufacturing systems, digital operations, or enterprise tools administration (ERP/PLM/MES)
- Experience configuring or managing NetSuite, Duro, Arena, ION, or equivalent tools
- Demonstrated experience working in production environments with digital interfaces
- Strong understanding of MRP environment, BOMs, inventory control, and manufacturing workflows for high mix low volume environments
- Excellent communication, documentation, and cross-functional collaboration skills
- Prior experience in aerospace or high-reliability manufacturing
- Exposure to PLM/ERP/MES integrations and system architecture
- Comfortable working in a lean, ambiguous environment with evolving systems
- Hands-on mindset with a bias for action and a focus on enabling others to execute
- Strong attention to detail with the ability to simplify complexity and create clarity
