About The Position

As an Industrial IoT Solution Architect, you will spearhead the digital transformation of our industrial operations. In this hybrid role, you will be the primary technical authority in architecting scalable and secure IIoT solutions that harvest data from the shop floor and deliver actionable insights to enterprise systems. You will collaborate closely with engineering, IT, and business stakeholders to define system architectures, select appropriate hardware and software stacks, and ensure the successful deployment of edge-to-cloud solutions. Your expertise will be critical in optimizing manufacturing processes, predictive maintenance, and overall asset performance.

Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Minimum of 5 years of experience in system architecture, with at least 3 years specifically focused on Industrial IoT (IIoT) or Industry 4.0 solutions.
• Experience with edge computing platforms.
• Experience with industrial protocols (e.g., MQTT, OPC UA, Modbus, TCP/IP).
• Experience with Unified Namespace (UNS) frameworks.
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud) and IoT-specific services.
• Knowledge of SCADA systems, PLC programming, and industrial control environments.
• Strong programming skills (e.g., Python, C++, Java).

Responsibilities

• Design and architect end-to-end IIoT solutions, connecting industrial assets to edge and cloud-based data processing environments.
• Lead the integration of OT (Operational Technology) networks with IT infrastructure, ensuring high availability, security, and scalability.
• Evaluate and select appropriate sensors, gateways, edge devices, and cloud services to support specific business use cases.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams—including software engineers, hardware engineers, and plant leadership—to translate business needs into technical solutions.
• Develop and implement robust data ingestion, processing, and storage pipelines for telemetry and machine data.
• Ensure IIoT architectures align with industry standards and cybersecurity best practices.
• Provide technical leadership, mentorship, and guidance to engineering teams throughout the full project lifecycle.
• Create and maintain comprehensive architectural documentation, including system designs, network diagrams, and configurations.
• Apply expertise in edge computing platforms, industrial protocols (e.g., MQTT, OPC UA, Modbus, TCP/IP), and Unified Namespace (UNS) frameworks to drive scalable solutions.
• Leverage cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud) and IoT-specific services to enable secure, scalable, and high-performing industrial systems.
• Support OT/IT convergence by incorporating knowledge of SCADA systems, PLC programming, and industrial control environments into solution design.
• Embed cybersecurity best practices into all IIoT and connected device architectures to protect industrial networks and data.
• Utilize strong programming skills (e.g., Python, C++, Java) to support development, integration, and automation as needed.
• Performs other related duties as required and assigned.
