Role Description

The Senior ERP Technical Engineer is the senior hands-on technical resource for Vaylent’s Epicor environment. The role designs, builds, integrates, upgrades, documents, and supports the technical layer of the ERP that runs day-to-day aerospace and defense manufacturing operations across the operating companies.

• Serve as the senior technical engineering resource for the Epicor environment, including its data model, customizations, BPMs, BAQs, dashboards, forms, digital work instructions, integrations, and reporting.
• Own the technical implementation and ongoing support of digital work instructions and shop-floor workflows, including electronic travelers, operator instructions, data collection, forms, approvals, and related Epicor and MES functionality.
• Design, build, test, document, and support Epicor customizations, business activity queries, business process methods, dashboards, forms, and user-defined fields against documented requirements.
• Build and maintain integrations between Epicor and other business and manufacturing systems, including manufacturing execution, product lifecycle management, quality, shipping, and financial systems, using supported interfaces and documented data contracts.
• Own Epicor environment management, including development, test, and production environments, refresh procedures, and code promotion.
• Establish and maintain technical change-management practices across development, test, and production, including source control, peer review where appropriate, deployment documentation, rollback procedures, regression testing, and release traceability.
• Develop and maintain repeatable regression testing for critical ERP workflows and customizations, using Epicor test automation capabilities or comparable automated testing tools where appropriate.
• Plan and execute Epicor upgrades, patches, and version migrations, including impact analysis of existing customizations, regression testing, and remediation.
• Develop and maintain reporting and analytics against Epicor data, including SQL views, stored procedures, SSRS and Crystal reports, and extracts supporting operational and financial reporting.
• Lead technical execution of data migration and system consolidation for acquisitions and new site standups, including extraction, cleansing, mapping, load, and reconciliation.
• Reduce customization debt by evaluating existing modifications against standard functionality and retiring or replacing customizations that are no longer justified.
• Document the technical environment to a standard that allows another qualified engineer to support it, including customization inventories, integration maps, data dictionaries, and runbooks.
• Capture and internalize technical knowledge currently held by external specialists and reduce single-person and third-party dependency across the Epicor environment.
• Support application-layer controls in the Epicor environment, including role and permission design, service account management, audit logging, segregation of duties, and export-controlled data handling in support of CMMC Level 2, NIST SP 800-171, ITAR, and DFARS obligations.
• Provide technical direction to external Epicor specialists and implementation partners, including specification of work, technical review, and acceptance of delivered configuration and code.
• Serve as a senior technical escalation point for Epicor incidents and defects, and lead root-cause analysis for issues affecting production operations.
• Partner with manufacturing, quality, supply chain, and finance users to translate business process requirements into supported technical solutions rather than one-off workarounds.
• Other duties as assigned.

Qualifications

• Five or more years of hands-on ERP technical experience, including substantial Epicor experience.
• Demonstrated experience designing, implementing, or supporting digital work instructions, electronic travelers, shop-floor data collection, or comparable MES-enabled manufacturing workflows.
• Hands-on experience with Epicor Functions, BPMs, BAQs, Application Studio, REST APIs, and other supported Kinetic extensibility frameworks.
• Hands-on Epicor Kinetic experience, including Application Studio and modernization or migration of Classic customizations to supported Kinetic patterns.
• Strong SQL skills, including query development, stored procedures, performance troubleshooting, and reporting against an ERP data model.
• Experience building and supporting ERP integrations using supported interfaces such as REST services, service connect, or middleware platforms.
• Experience planning and executing ERP upgrades or version migrations in an environment with existing customizations.
• Experience supporting ERP in a manufacturing environment, including production, inventory, quality, and shop floor transactions.
• Ability to document technical work to a standard that allows another engineer to support it.
• Ability to work directly with manufacturing and finance users and translate business requirements into technical solutions.
• U.S. Person as defined by ITAR, 22 CFR 120.62.

Requirements

• Aerospace, defense, federal contracting, or other regulated manufacturing experience.
• Experience with manufacturing execution and product lifecycle management platforms and their integration to ERP.
• Experience with ERP data migration and system consolidation during acquisitions.
• Experience implementing application-layer controls supporting NIST SP 800-171 or CMMC Level 2.
• C#, .NET, PowerShell, or comparable development experience.
• Experience with source control and structured change management for ERP technical artifacts.
