IT Manager — Inverter Assembly Operations

About this role

Job Description:

IT Manager — Inverter Assembly Operations

Location: Mesa, Arizona

Type: Full-time, on-site

About the Role

We are looking for a hands-on IT Manager to own all site-level IT — from greenfield commissioning of our Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and shop floor infrastructure, through go-live, and into steady-state operations.

This is not a strategy-from-a-desk role. You will be on the floor with operators, engineers, and equipment vendors during commissioning and ramp, and you will own day-to-day uptime once we are in production. You will work closely with the corporate ERP team on integration with Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP, and collaborate with the End User Services, Infrastructure, and Security teams on identity and access management, the security stack, and shared infrastructure.

What You Will Own

MES — Selection & Commissioning Through Steady State

• Lead selection and site-level implementation of the MES platform (e.g. Oracle Fusion MES, 42Q, Critical Manufacturing, Plex, or similar) from design through validation, go-live, and hypercare.
• Configure work order routing, station definitions, operator workflows, genealogy rules, and test data capture for inverter assembly (PCBA integration, mechanical assembly, HiPot/functional/burn-in test, pack-out).
• Own integration points between MES and shop floor systems: barcode scanners, label printers, torque tools, test stations, vision systems, and PLCs.
• Manage the MES vendor relationship at the site level — SOWs, change requests, support escalations.
• Coordinate with Corporate IT on MES-to-ERP integration handoffs (you are not building it, but you are accountable for it working on the plant side).

Shop Floor & Site Infrastructure

• Design, deploy, and operate the site network: IT/OT segmentation, VLANs, industrial wireless coverage, switches, firewalls.
• Manage all endpoints on the floor: operator terminals, ruggedized handhelds, scanners, label/zebra pr...
