This role bridges the factory floor and the cloud, enabling real-time visibility, operational intelligence, and data-driven decision making across manufacturing operations. You will establish scalable data acquisition architectures, develop industrial data pipelines, create operational dashboards, and help build a model production cell that showcases Industry 4.0 best practices and emerging manufacturing technologies.

Here’s Where You’ll Demonstrate Your Proficiency

• Design, deploy, and maintain industrial data acquisition solutions that connect production equipment, sensors, PLCs, test systems, MES systems, and quality systems.
• Build and maintain scalable data pipelines that collect, process, transform, and deliver operational manufacturing data.
• Develop real-time and near-real-time data architectures that enable operational visibility and rapid decision making.
• Design and implement data integration solutions utilizing Industrial IoT platforms, and edge computing technologies.
• Create and maintain operational dashboards that provide insight into production performance, quality, throughput, downtime, utilization, and OEE.
• Establish standards and best practices for factory data architecture, governance, connectivity, and scalability.
• Design and implement hybrid cloud architectures leveraging Azure and AWS services while integrating on-premises manufacturing systems and edge devices.
• Lead development of a model production cell demonstrating smart manufacturing, Industry 4.0 best practices, and advanced operational intelligence.

The Successful Candidate Will Demonstrate the Following Skills and Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, Information Systems, Software Engineering, Mathematics, or a related technical field.
• 5+ years of experience designing and implementing data engineering solutions in manufacturing, Industrial IoT, smart factory, or Industry 4.0 environments.
• Hands-on experience with Azure Data Factory, Databricks, IoT Hub, Synapse/Fabric and AWS IoT Core, Kinesis, Glue, Redshift, S3 or similar technologies.
• Experience integrating factory-floor systems including PLCs, SCADA systems, machine controllers, sensors, manufacturing databases, and edge platforms.
• Knowledge of industrial communication protocols including OPC-UA, MQTT, Modbus, Ethernet/IP, or similar technologies.
• Experience building real-time or streaming data architectures and operational dashboards.
• Working knowledge of manufacturing metrics including OEE, throughput, yield, scrap, downtime, first-pass yield, and cycle time.
• Experience supporting Lean Manufacturing, Continuous Improvement, Six Sigma, or Kaizen initiatives is strongly preferred.
