Digital Systems Engineer II Verified today
The Opportunity
We're looking for a hands-on Digital Systems Engineer to configure, maintain, and continuously improve our Odoo 17 ERP and ION MES platforms, while driving the adoption and practical use of AI tools like Claude across the business. You'll sit at the intersection of manufacturing operations, enterprise systems, and emerging technology, translating operational needs into reliable, well-documented digital solutions.
AI Enablement
AI enablement is a core part of this role. You will serve as Astra's internal expert on AI productivity platforms, helping teams understand, adopt, and get real value from tools like Claude and Microsoft Copilot. This includes hands-on configuration, use-case development, and ongoing support as the AI tooling landscape evolves.
Supporting the Broader Business
Beyond manufacturing systems, this role serves as a shared digital systems resource across Astra. You will field requests, troubleshoot issues, and assist with configuration and AI tool needs from teams including Finance, Supply Chain, HR, and Operations, helping each group get more value from the tools they already use.

- Champion the practical use of AI platforms (Claude, Microsoft Copilot, and others) across teams, identifying high-value use cases, building internal guides, and supporting adoption.
- Evaluate and pilot new AI tools relevant to manufacturing operations, reporting, and enterprise workflows, making recommendations for broader rollout.
- Develop prompt libraries, workflow templates, and best-practice documentation to help teams get consistent, reliable results from AI tools.
