Job Description
Who We Are At Osmo Osmo is a digital olfaction company, on a mission to give computers a sense of smell to improve the health and wellbeing of human life. Why? Our sense of smell both enriches and saves lives, and has a deep and direct connection to our emotions and memory. Olfactory Intelligence has applications across industries including fragrance, manufacturing, security, medicine, and more. We believe in the power of automation and thoughtfully applied AI/ML to solve problems beyond the reach of human intuition alone. Osmo is headquartered in New York, NY, with a new facility in New Jersey, and offices in Somerville, MA. The Opportunity Following our Q3 2025 NetSuite implementation, Osmo is entering a critical next phase: architecting the bridge between our digital core and our physical manufacturing floor. While NetSuite established a foundational ERP layer, integration with manufacturing workflows has been only partially successful. We are now implementing a new Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and deeply integrating it with NetSuite to create a reliable, scalable digital factory. This is not a narrow IT administration role. You will operate as the architect of our manufacturing systems stack—embedded in a high-performance engineering culture and partnered with dedicated SREs and Software Engineers who support infrastructure and custom middleware. You will leverage advanced AI development tools (Cursor, Copilot, etc.) to accelerate development, documentation, and data governance, allowing you to focus on system architecture and operational impact. What You’ll Do Architect the Digital Factory Own the selection, technical architecture, and configuration of our new MES platform and its integration with NetSuite Assess and stabilize current NetSuite manufacturing configurations, improving reliability of inventory transactions, costing, and production flows Define clear system-of-record boundaries between ERP and MES Establish scalable integration patterns to support long-term growth Engineer Robust Integrations Partner with SRE and Software Engineering teams to design and build API-first integrations between ERP, MES, and physical hardware (robotic dosing systems, QC sensors, label printing) Design bidirectional data flows for process orders, BOMs, material consumption, and batch genealogy Implement resilient error handling, reconciliation logic, and auditability across systems Ensure accurate financial impact of inventory movements and production transactions Digitize Fragrance Chemistry Translate complex fragrance manufacturing workflows—recipe scaling, submix creation, material allocation—into scalable system logic Design intuitive shop floor interfaces for manual dosing guidance and automated batch sheet generation Implement quality control workflows ensuring full traceability from raw materials to finished goods Maintain 100% batch genealogy and compliance-ready data structures Data Governance & System Ownership Establish master data governance standards for materials, BOMs, process instructions, and suppliers Define validation rules and transaction controls to protect data integrity Act as Product Owner for internal manufacturing systems, continuously refining workflows based on real-time floor feedback Document system architecture, integration patterns, and operational playbooks Innovation & AI-Augmented Development Continuously improve system performance and usability Identify opportunities to automate reconciliation, validation, and reporting workflows What You Bring NetSuite Certification 3+ years working with MES in a production environment Proven experience designing ERP–MES integrations Strong understanding of batch or process manufacturing (chemical, fragrance, food, or similar) Proficiency in JavaScript (SuiteScript), Python, or SQL Deep understanding of inventory transaction flows and their financial implications Experience working alongside software engineers and understanding API architecture Experience integrating ERP systems with robotics or IoT hardware Background in regulated manufacturing environments (GMP or similar) Experience stabilizing or rebuilding systems after partial implementations Salary Range: $135k-$160k Why This Role Matters At Osmo, your work directly dictates our ability to scale. You are building the nervous system of an AI-driven fragrance powerhouse. The architecture you design will determine production throughput, cost integrity, quality
