Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) Engineer

FirePoint Rocket Technology is building one of the most unique and strategically important industrial projects in Denmark - a new

production facility for solid rocket propellant and advanced defense-tech components. Our ambition is significant: we are scaling

from the early operational phase to 200 employees over the next 18 months.

Joining us now means becoming part of the core team shaping a new high-tech, safety-critical production environment from the

ground up. We are looking for a Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) Engineer who will digitize and optimize rocket propellant

production execution, ensuring real-time shop-floor visibility, 100% batch traceability, and strict process compliance.

As the Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) Engineer, you will bridge shop-floor control systems, quality assurance, and

enterprise IT networks to deliver a secure, compliant, and highly available digital production environment. You will report

directly to the IT / Infrastructure Manager and collaborate closely with Process Automation Engineers, Quality Assurance (QA), and

Production teams.

This role is paramount for standardizing Master Data Management (MDM) and batch records, linking equipment instrumentation with

enterprise software, and embedding error-proofing into the IT process flow to guarantee quality from the start.

• Standardize, configure, and maintain Master Data Management (MDM), Electronic Batch Records (eBR), and Master Batch Records

(MBR) for propellant manufacturing workflows.

• Translate operational and chemical recipe procedures into structured, digital execution flows, including error-proofing of the

human interface.

• Ensure eBR/MBR design aligns with strict quality, defense manufacturing, and validation standards in close collaboration with

QA.

• Connect Level 0–1 SCADA, PLCs, and IoT devices with Level 3 enterprise systems (SAP ERP, LIMS) in close collaboration with

Process Automation Engineers.

• Ensure 100% end-to-end batch traceability, parameter limits, and execution logging for high-risk chemical production aligned

with GxP, ISO 9001, and defense standards.

• Analyze execution data alongside Process Automation and Production teams to eliminate manual bottlenecks, improve UI/UX

terminal usability, and drive real-time OEE, yield, and downtime tracking.

• A rare career opportunity to lead digital execution architecture for one of Denmark's most unique industrial and defense-tech

projects.

• A role where your expertise directly determines the operational efficiency, traceability, and integrity of safety-critical

products.

You are an analytical, quality-minded engineer with a hands-on approach to bridging complex technical gaps between IT, QA, and

shop-floor operations.

• Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Automation Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Science, or a related

technical discipline.

• Experience: 3+ years of hands-on experience in MES configuration, execution layer engineering, or industrial automation in

high-quality manufacturing environments.

• Technical Proficiency: Technical proficiency with major MES platforms (e.g., PAS-X, Siemens Opcenter, Rockwell FTPC, Ignition)

and complex SQL database management.

• Integration Expertise: Proven experience connecting shop-floor hardware (SCADA/PLCs) to Level 3 Enterprise systems (ERP/SAP,

LIMS).

Due to the sensitive defense-tech nature of our projects and operations, all potential employees are subject to a police and

intelligence background check as part of our standard recruitment process. Continued employment is conditional upon obtaining and

maintaining the necessary security clearance.
