Software built on the MTConnect standard is deployed on tens of thousands of devices in factories all over the world. Now, the standard is evolving from serving monitoring and status reporting applications to digital twins, flexible automation, and AI-driven factories. 2025-26 is our breakout window, and we need a community champion who can translate the spec into code, content, and vibrant conversation.

· Manufacturing-tech savvy plus hands-on coding or automation experience (APIs, OPC UA, MQTT, Unified Namespace, etc.).

· Standards know-how – ideally MTConnect; open to MODBUS/SEMI/OPC or open-source veterans ready to pivot.

· Community chops – you’ve run meetups, Discords, or open-source software roadmaps that drove adoption.

· Top-tier communication – from conference stages to GitHub PR reviews.
