Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
The engineer will own the manufacturing execution and plant-data backbone, managing the transition from a pilot facility to a large-scale production environment. Responsibilities include designing plant data architecture, building system integrations, and ensuring reliable data flow between plant-floor and business systems.
Candidates must have a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or Engineering with at least 5 years of experience in manufacturing systems and data engineering. Proficiency in SQL, REST API development, and knowledge of ISA-95 standards are required, along with U.S. person status for security compliance.
Vulcan Elements is manufacturing American rare-earth permanent magnets for a secure, resilient future. With a focus on national security and economic resiliency, we serve critical industries such as defense, aerospace, and automotive powering a high-technology future. Vulcan Elements is building a team of ambitious professionals committed to Mission Focus, Technical Excellence, and Transparency. This program operates under U.S. government security requirements; candidates must be U.S. persons and able to work with Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
As the Manufacturing Data & MES Engineer you will own the manufacturing execution and plant-data backbone from a running pilot facility today to a massive 1 million square foot manufacturing facility expansion. You will embed with the vendor team implementing MES on our pilot as the designated knowledge-transfer engineer, close the pilot’s live data-integration gaps, and define the platform-neutral data architecture that survives whatever SCADA, batch, MES, and historian stack the site selects. As manufacturing scales, you will shape how the MES is implemented from pilot to production. This is a high-impact, high-ownership role requiring deep technical expertise across manufacturing systems and data engineering.
Responsibilities:
