• Support data migration, testing, defect resolution, and technical workstreams within the IFS Cloud implementation project
• Ensure all delivered changes remain stable, supportable, maintainable, and upgradeable post go-live
• Troubleshoot issues across the IFS stack, working with functional leads and architects to ensure alignment with solution design
• Produce technical documentation for all developed components and integrations

• Learn key functional and technical background to ensure continuity following the carve out
• Perform basic incident resolution and maintain system stability until decommissioning
• Support extraction and preparation of historical data to be migrated into an Access database or other archival store
• Ensure Cumulus continues to operate reliably during the overlap with the IFS Cloud rollout
• Contribute to the controlled phase-out of Cumulus as processes transition into IFS
• Ability to quickly reverse-engineer legacy codebases with minimal documentation

Ways of Working:

• Execute technical change under direction from the Solution/Enterprise Architect
• Follow defined integration patterns, security standards, and design principles
• Escalate deviations, risks, or technical constraints for architectural approval
• Participate in change control, release management, and production deployment cycles
• Work collaboratively with business stakeholders, project teams, and external vendors

Requirements:

• Strong hands-on experience with IFS Apps 10 development and configuration
• Practical experience with IFS Cloud (implementation or upgrade project experience is highly desirable)
• Strong SQL/PLSQL and Oracle DB skills
• Experience with IFS Developer Studio, Aurena development, IFS Connect, and reporting tools (BR, Quick Reports, Crystal, etc)
• Ability to learn and support a legacy MES tool with limited documentation; Knowledgeable in coding development languages used for Cumulus MES such as C#, VB.NET, XAML, Python
• Experience delivering technical change in a structured, architecture led environment
• Understanding of integration technologies including REST, SOAP, and middleware concepts

Desired skills:

• Exposure to MES platforms (Cumulus or similar)
• Experience in system migration, data extraction, or sunset/decommissioning activities
• Knowledge across manufacturing or A&D operational processes
• Familiarity with Azure, modern API patterns, or event-based integrations
• Experience supporting both legacy and next generation systems during parallel operation

Personal Attributes:

• Pragmatic problem-solver with strong analytical capability
• Able to balance Business as Usual (BAU) support, Cloud implementation activities, and legacy system support
• Strong communicator who can work with technical and non-technical audiences
• Organized, self directed, and comfortable managing competing priorities
