Rigger

The Trigger Fabrication API Engineer is responsible for designing, developing, integrating, and maintaining APIs that automate fabrication workflows. The role involves connecting fabrication systems, ERP platforms, production management software, CAD/CAM systems, and manufacturing equipment.

The engineer ensures that fabrication activities are initiated automatically based on predefined business rules, production orders, material availability, and workflow events.

3. Key Responsibilities
A. API Development
Design and develop RESTful APIs for fabrication workflow automation.

Build API endpoints to create, update, retrieve, and manage fabrication orders.

Implement API triggers based on specific manufacturing events.

Integrate third-party manufacturing and ERP applications.

Develop secure API authentication and authorization mechanisms.

Implement request validation and response handling.

Maintain API documentation using Swagger/OpenAPI.

B. Trigger Management
Configure event-based triggers for fabrication processes.

Implement automatic workflow initiation when production orders are approved.

Trigger fabrication jobs based on material availability.

Develop event-driven communication between manufacturing systems.

Handle webhook notifications and callback mechanisms.

Implement retry mechanisms for failed triggers.

Monitor trigger execution and troubleshoot failures.

C. Fabrication Workflow Integration
Integrate CAD/CAM software with fabrication management systems.

Automate cutting, bending, welding, and assembly workflow notifications.

Connect production planning systems with shop-floor applications.

Manage fabrication job status updates.

Track production progress through API integrations.

Support integration with CNC machines and other manufacturing equipment where applicable.

D. Database Management
Design and maintain API-related database structures.

Manage fabrication order records.

Store trigger execution logs.

Implement data validation and consistency checks.

Optimize database queries and API performance.

E. Testing and Maintenance
Perform API unit testing and integration testing.

Test webhook and event-trigger functionality.

Debug API failures and integration issues.

Monitor API response times and system availability.

Maintain API versioning and backward compatibility.
