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 traceability, and regulatory readiness. Unlike a consultant who hands over a project and leaves, you will own this system, see the direct impact of your architecture on the manufacturing floor, and grow alongside a company defining a new industry.
If this role inspires you we’d encourage you to apply. We are committed to recruiting, developing, and retaining an incredible team optimized for a diversity of thought, background, and approaches.
For all Full-Time Employees, compensation is just one component of Osmo’s total rewards approach, which is designed to support the well-being, growth, and long-term success of our team members.

Actual compensation will vary based on factors such as experience, skills, location, internal equity, and other relevant business considerations. Osmo regularly reviews pay ranges and compensation structures to ensure they remain competitive, equitable, and aligned with current market data.
