RoviSys is seeking an experienced engineering professional to lead the delivery of holistic MES solutions across industries, including Production Management, Directed Work, Quality, Traceability, Maintenance Management, and Performance. This role goes beyond execution: you will help shape the future of MES by applying AI, DevOps principles, and next-generation requirement definition strategies, strengthening our DxOps Transformation service offerings.
We work with leading manufacturers in semiconductors, life sciences, discrete manufacturing, consumer goods, and specialty chemicals, industries at the forefront of technological progress. Our mission is to help these customers produce valuable products more efficiently, more reliably, and with greater quality.
Unlike legacy projects that rely on lengthy, monolithic specifications, our approach emphasizes iterative requirement definition. We collaborate directly with customers, blending proven MES frameworks with modern discovery and refinement techniques that allow for flexibility, faster validation, and more resilient deployments.
If you are motivated by both technical depth and innovation, this is an opportunity to influence how global manufacturers adopt and sustain digital execution.
Responsibilities
- Partner with customers and RoviSys functional analysts to define functional requirements using modern iterative approaches
- Apply modern software engineering practices (CI/CD, infrastructure as code, automated testing) to manage global, large-scale MES deployments
- Design, configure, commission, and qualify MES solutions across industries and processes
- Lead development of MES platform extensions using compatible programming languages
- Create and maintain clear documentation describing solution design and implementation
- Provide mentorship and leadership to less experienced engineers, fostering a culture of technical growth and innovation
- Break down work into technical tasks consumable by our developers and configurators and oversee task completion
- Travel to customer sites to perform requirement gathering, deployment, and post-deployment support
- Actively contribute to the evolution of our DxOps Transformation service offerings, shaping best practices across the broader RoviSys organization
- Explore and apply emerging technologies, including frontier agentic AI and LLM-based automation, to improve MES efficiency, quality, and scalability
QUALIFICATIONS
- 4+ years of experience in MES, industrial automation, or related software engineering fields
- Strong competency in object-oriented programming concepts and data integration
- Hands-on implementation experience in one or more MES platforms, including:
- Connectivity to shop floor data sources and historians
- Integration with enterprise systems such as ERP and PLM
- T-SQL query and stored procedure development
- Client display and web report configuration
- Modern web-based UI configuration and deployment
- Training certifications in one or more MES platforms, or the skillset to achieve them quickly
- Platforms of focus currently include Parsec TrakSYS, Critical Manufacturing MES, GE Vernova Proficy, Aveva, Ignition, and Apprentice Tempo. Candidates with experience in one or more of these platforms will be prioritized.
- Ability to integrate new software modules with existing systems
- Background in systems (controls) or software engineering
- Bachelor’s Degree in an engineering or software development field
- Demonstrated adaptability and curiosity to explore emerging approaches such as AI, low-code/no-code integration, and iterative requirement definition
COMPENSATION & BENEFITS HIGHLIGHTS
- Competitive Base Salary: $80,000–$130,000, depending on experience
- Performance Bonuses: Bonus structure designed to reward results
- Travel Perks: Travel incentives + per-diem packages for field assignments
- Full Benefits Package: Medical, dental, and vision coverage
- Retirement Ready: 401(k) with company match

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Lead Software Engineer Jobs at RoviSys Jobs
Frame your automation credentials for manufacturing contexts
RoviSys works heavily in process and discrete manufacturing environments. Highlight experience with SCADA, DCS, PLC integration, or MES platforms in your resume. Generic software engineering credentials read as weak fits for their project-based, industrial client work.
Confirm TN eligibility before assuming H-1B
Canadian and Mexican nationals can enter on a TN visa without waiting for the H-1B lottery. For a Lead Software Engineer role at RoviSys, TN classification under the Computer Systems Analyst or Engineer category may apply, cutting your timeline significantly.
Target project lead experience in your application materials
RoviSys hires Lead Engineers to own technical delivery on client engagements, not just write code. Applications that demonstrate you have managed integration scope, coordinated with plant-floor stakeholders, or led commissioning phases align directly with how they staff projects.
Understand where F-1 OPT timing intersects with project cycles
RoviSys sponsors F-1 OPT, but their project timelines run long. If your OPT authorization expires mid-project, the transition to H-1B status matters to them operationally. Align your USCIS filing timeline with your OPT end date and the annual April 1 H-1B cap-subject filing window.
Use Migrate Mate to identify open Lead Software Engineer roles
RoviSys posts Lead Software Engineer openings across multiple locations and project disciplines. Use Migrate Mate to filter verified sponsorship-friendly roles at RoviSys so you are applying to positions where visa support is already confirmed, not guessing from a generic job board.
Prepare a degree-to-specialty-occupation case before the offer stage
USCIS requires H-1B approval for specialty occupations where a specific degree field is the standard. For Lead Software Engineer roles at RoviSys, document how your degree in computer science, electrical engineering, or a related discipline maps directly to the technical responsibilities in the job description before HR initiates the petition.

Find Lead Software Engineer at RoviSys JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does RoviSys sponsor H-1B visas for Lead Software Engineers?
Yes, RoviSys has a documented history of sponsoring H-1B visas for engineering roles including Lead Software Engineers. Because their work involves long-cycle systems integration projects in manufacturing environments, they have practical incentive to retain technical talent through the sponsorship process rather than restart hiring mid-project.
How do I apply for Lead Software Engineer jobs at RoviSys?
Applications go through RoviSys's careers portal. Before applying, tailor your resume to reflect industrial software experience, such as control system integration, HMI development, or manufacturing execution systems. Migrate Mate lists verified Lead Software Engineer openings at RoviSys filtered for visa sponsorship, which helps you confirm current availability before submitting your application.
Which visa types does RoviSys commonly use for Lead Software Engineer roles?
RoviSys sponsors H-1B, F-1 OPT, F-1 CPT, and TN visas for engineering roles. F-1 OPT and CPT are common entry points for recent graduates joining project teams. TN is the fastest path for Canadian and Mexican nationals. H-1B covers the broadest range of applicants but requires clearing the annual USCIS lottery.
What qualifications does RoviSys expect for Lead Software Engineer candidates?
RoviSys typically looks for engineers who can lead technical scope on client-facing automation and integration projects, not just contribute as individual developers. Practical experience with industrial protocols, control system platforms, or system commissioning in manufacturing environments carries significant weight. A bachelor's degree in computer science, electrical engineering, or systems engineering is the standard baseline for H-1B specialty occupation classification.
How do I time my H-1B filing if I am currently on F-1 OPT at RoviSys?
USCIS opens H-1B cap-subject filings on April 1 each year for an October 1 start date. If your OPT expires before October 1, a timely filed H-1B petition can extend your work authorization through the cap-gap provision, covering the period between OPT expiration and your H-1B start date. Confirm your specific OPT end date against the filing calendar early, since RoviSys project commitments can make authorization gaps operationally disruptive.
