Summary

This is an on-site role in Canby, Oregon for a Senior Applications Developer at a leading contract electronics manufacturer specializing in printed circuit board assembly (PCBA). Our technology ecosystem spans e-commerce, CRM, ERP, MES, BI, and automated factory systems, offering an opportunity to work across a wide range of modern and legacy platforms. You’ll play a key role in integrating and extending these systems, connecting our Azure-based e-commerce platform with Epicor ERP, FactoryLogix MES, and other core business and production technologies.

This role blends enterprise application development, systems integration, and process automation. You’ll take ownership of existing C# and Visual Basic codebases while designing and building new cloud and on-prem solutions that improve quoting, NPI, manufacturing, and analytics workflows. It’s an ideal role for a hands-on developer who thrives in a complex, high-impact environment where software directly enables engineering, operations, and customer success.

Essential Duties And Responsibilities

• Understand our Screaming Circuits proto-typing business processes and existing codebase (primarily C# with some Visual Basic) integrating the e-commerce system with our Epicor ERP. Provide ongoing support for these systems to ensure a smooth transition and continuous operation.
• Build and deploy application extensions or custom integrations between various systems (for example, linking the e-commerce system with Epicor ERP, and connecting the ERP with FactoryLogix MES/MPI/MPS). Ensure these integrations are robust, secure, and efficient, supporting seamless data exchange across departments.
• Prototype and develop new solutions that support product development and manufacturing operations. This includes designing solutions to extend or enhance functionality across our e-commerce platform, ERP, and manufacturing systems.
• Work across the stack to deliver end-to-end solutions: from database (SQL/MongoDB) and server-side logic (C#/.NET and legacy Visual Basic components) to front-end interfaces or scripts (JavaScript and Python)
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (IT, manufacturing engineers, etc.) to gather requirements and ensure applications meet operational needs. Troubleshoot and debug issues across various systems, implementing fixes and improvements with minimal downtime.
• Conduct thorough functional and integration testing of all software solutions. Document new and existing systems, integrations, and workflows to facilitate knowledge transfer and maintainability.
  
  

Qualifications

• 5 – 8 years of software development experience in a similar role. Proven track record in building and supporting business applications (manufacturing or e-commerce environment experience is a plus).
• Proficiency in C# (using .NET Framework/.NET Core) is required. Ability to read and modify Visual Basic (VB/VB.NET) code for legacy system support. Experience with JavaScript for front-end development or scripting is required; familiarity with Python for scripting, automation, or prototyping is also important.
• Strong skills in SQL and relational databases (e.g. Microsoft SQL Server), including writing complex queries and stored procedures. Basic familiarity with NoSQL databases (e.g. MongoDB) and their use cases.
• Hands-on experience developing integrations between disparate systems. Knowledge of working with APIs, web services (REST/SOAP), and message queues to connect systems (especially linking e-commerce platforms with ERP/MES) is highly valued.
• Exposure to ERP or manufacturing systems in a development or integration capacity. Experience with Epicor ERP (Epicor Kinetic or similar) is a significant advantage.
• Familiarity with Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) or related platforms (for example, Aegis FactoryLogix and its modules like MPI/MPS) is a plus.
• Understanding of cloud-based application development and deployment, especially in Microsoft Azure (since our e-commerce solutions are Azure-based). Familiarity with web technologies (HTML/CSS and modern JavaScript frameworks or libraries) is beneficial.
• Strong problem-solving abilities and a willingness to learn new technologies and domain concepts. Excellent communication and teamwork skills to work effectively on-site with cross-departmental teams. Good time management and self-motivation to handle project deadlines and multitask as needed.
