Summary/Objective

The Business Systems Integration Developer is the primary technical resource responsible for identifying business process improvement opportunities and designing, developing, implementing, documenting, and supporting software solutions across OGI Process Equipment. The role combines hands-on software development with business systems analysis and enterprise application integration.

Reporting directly to the VP of Engineering, this position works with Engineering, Drafting, Manufacturing, Quality, Service, Sales, Purchasing, Accounting, and Operations to translate operational needs into practical, scalable, and supportable solutions. The position is expected to operate with a high degree of autonomy, manage ambiguity, establish technical direction within assigned initiatives, and own solutions from requirements definition through deployment and ongoing support.

Role Focus: This is primarily a software development, systems integration, reporting, automation, and business process improvement role. It may provide limited enterprise application administration and technical support, but it is not a traditional help-desk, network administration, or general IT infrastructure position.

• Support interfaces and controlled data processes associated with SolidWorks and other engineering applications without serving as the primary CAD designer.
• Coordinate with internal stakeholders and external providers on application support, backup, recovery, access, and specialized technical matters when required.

System Reliability, Security and Documentation

• Monitor recurring system issues, perform root-cause analysis, document corrective actions, and coordinate resolution with stakeholders or external vendors.
• Support approved VEEAM backup monitoring, recovery verification, and documentation activities in coordination with management and external IT resources.

• Perform other related duties as assigned.

The Ideal Candidate Will

• Have demonstrated success owning business software solutions from an initially ambiguous need through implementation and ongoing support.
• Understand business processes, ask effective questions, distinguish symptoms from root causes, and convert user needs into practical technical requirements.
• Be equally comfortable collaborating with non-technical stakeholders and performing hands-on software development, data analysis, and troubleshooting.
• Exercise sound judgment, work independently, communicate risks and status clearly, and follow through on commitments.
• Build maintainable solutions that balance immediate operational needs with long-term reliability, supportability, security, and data integrity.
• Thrive in a cross-functional manufacturing environment where engineering, production, quality, commercial, and administrative systems are interconnected.
