• Solid understanding of GMP-regulated manufacturing environments, with the ability to translate production requirements into compliant digital solutions.

• Hands-on programming experience in any modern programming language and a strong interest in developing and optimizing manufacturing applications.

• Fluent English communication skills are essential to collaborate effectively across global, cross-functional teams.
