You will act as a technical authority across Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, IT, Supply Chain and external technology partners. The role will focus on building reliable, secure and compliant systems that support manufacturing scale-up, technology transfer and future commercial growth. Key responsibilities
Define and govern the long-term controls, automation and software architecture roadmap. Lead the design and development of PLC, SCADA, HMI, embedded software and industrial control solutions. Establish scalable, modular and standardised software and automation architectures. Act as the technical authority for controls, automation, manufacturing software and systems integration. Define technical standards, system requirements, design specifications and software development practices. Lead software verification, validation and Computerised System Validation activities. Ensure systems comply with GMP, GAMP5, data integrity and electronic-record requirements. Support manufacturing scale-up, technology transfer and the transition from development into commercial production. Drive integration across manufacturing systems, MES, data platforms, cloud services and business applications. Develop approaches to advanced process control, digitalisation, analytics and Industry 4.0. Set standards for system reliability, lifecycle management, maintenance and OT cybersecurity. Lead complex troubleshooting, root-cause investigations and continuous-improvement initiatives. Provide technical leadership, mentoring and guidance to multidisciplinary engineering teams.
