MES Analyst

Title: Manufacturing Applications Support Analyst

Location: Reno, NV

Full time role (no sponsorship available)

Rate: $65-75K

When a production step won't close out or a quality check is missing from the system, someone has to figure out what happened so the line can keep moving. That's where you come in.

The Planet Group has partnered with a Reno area company to find early-career analyst to support the software that tracks what's made on the factory floor, which materials went into it, and whether it passed the required checks. You'll work directly with operators, quality teams, and engineers, with experienced analysts available to help you tackle more complex issues.

Please note, this is an onsite role and candidates must be onsite for five days a week.

Responsibilities:

• Help factory teams troubleshoot software problems, from a work order that won't advance to a production record that looks wrong.
• Check system health and investigate missing or incorrect data. Resolve routine issues and give engineering or IT the details they need when an issue requires their help.
• Ask operators and quality teams how they use the software, then document what needs to change.
• Help configure and test updates before they go live. Update support guides and show users how to work with new features.
• Help set up software and devices on the factory floor.
• Respond to production support requests during and outside normal business hours as needed.

Required Skills and Experience:

• 1-3 years of technical experience involving troubleshooting, data analysis, scripting, or automation.
• Some exposure to a manufacturing execution system (MES) or other software used to support factory operations.
• A basic understanding of how work moves through a production line and where production data is collected.
• The ability to explain an issue clearly to both the person seeing it on the floor and the technical team helping fix it.
• A bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent experience.

Preferred Skills and Experience:

• Experience configuring or administering MES software.
• Familiarity with SAP or another ERP system, MES integrations, SCADA, PLCs, or industrial automation.
• Exposure to PostgreSQL, Oracle, or reporting tools.
• An internship or co-op supporting manufacturing technology.
