Flexware is looking for a Systems Engineer to work within one of our major pharmaceutical clients. You’ll get to work with controls systems, HMI configurations, data historians, and within software created by Flexware. This individual will focus on supporting the manufacturing IT and shopfloor infrastructure, installing and validating custom software on machines, and providing documentation for highly regulated processes. While the following description intends to cover the major areas of focus, it is not all-encompassing and there may be other projects or responsibilities that fall under this position.

- Troubleshoot installations, which will include:
- Oracle connectivity
- Custom software services failing
- General custom software support
- This role may require 25-35% travel
- This role must be located in the Charlotte/Concord area as this does require you to be onsite at the facility
