The OT Applications Analyst for MES & SCADA is a hands-on, IT-focused role responsible for
configuring, supporting, and enhancing MES and SCADA applications within STERIS manufacturing
environments. This role works directly within MES and SCADA platforms (such as Ignition and
Sepasoft), maintaining and extending vendor-delivered solutions while ensuring alignment with
STERIS IT-OT standards, cybersecurity requirements, and Industry 4.0 objectives.
The role is execution-oriented and requires deep technical involvement in MES/SCADA modules,
scripting, and data. It is designed as a feeder role in OT Solutions Architect, building strong
application, integration, and architectural understanding over time.
This position also requires staying abreast with changes in technology. Participation in team and / orproject meetings, to schedule work and discuss status, will be required.
DUTIES
1. Configure, maintain, and enhance MES and SCADA applications from an IT perspective.
2. Work hands-on within SCADA projects, including Designer and Gateway configurations.
3. Configure and support MES modules such as Production, Quality, Track & Trace, and OEE.
4. Modify MES equipment models, production models, workflows, and configurations.
5. Write, modify, and debug Python (Python) scripts used for MES and SCADA logic.
6. Develop and troubleshoot SQL queries supporting MES transactions, genealogy, reporting,
and audits.
7. Provide L2/L3 technical support for MES and SCADA applications in manufacturing
environments.
8. Analyze and resolve issues related to application behavior, data flow, and system
performance.
9. Validate and troubleshoot data consumed from vendors via OPC UA, MQTT, or other
interfaces.
10. Work directly on MES/SCADA modules even when data ingestion is delivered by vendors.
11. Support testing activities including integration testing, UAT, and production readiness.
12. Apply STERIS-defined IT-OT standards, URS, and cybersecurity controls in day-to-day work.
13. Maintain technical documentation related to configurations, changes, and support
procedures.
14. Collaborate with OT Automation teams, IT infrastructure teams, and vendors during
implementations and changes.
15. Identify recurring issues and recommend technical improvements to increase stability and
performance.
