JD: Sr. Data Engineer – Industry 4.0

We are hiring a senior Data Engineer to lead the development of intelligent, scalable data platforms for Industry 4.0 initiatives. This role will drive integration across OT/IT systems, enable real-time analytics, and ensure robust data governance and quality frameworks. The engineer will collaborate with cross-functional teams to support AI/ML, GenAI, and IIoT use cases in manufacturing and industrial environments.


Key Responsibilities

  • Architect and implement cloud-native data pipelines on AWS or Azure for ingesting, transforming, and storing industrial data.
  • Integrate data coming from OT systems (SCADA, PLC, MES, Historian) and IT systems (ERP, CRM, LIMS) using protocols like OPC UA, MQTT, REST.
  • Design and manage data lakes, warehouses, and streaming platforms for predictive analytics, digital twins, and operational intelligence.
  • Define and maintain asset hierarchies, semantic models, and metadata frameworks for contextualized industrial data.
  • Implement CI/CD pipelines for data workflows and ensure lineage, observability, and compliance across environments.
  • Collaborate with AI/ML teams to support model training, deployment, and monitoring using MLOps frameworks.
  • Establish and enforce data governance policies, stewardship models, and metadata management practices.
  • Monitor and improve data quality using rule-based profiling, anomaly detection, and GenAI-powered automation.
  • Support GenAI initiatives through data readiness, synthetic data generation, and prompt engineering.

Mandatory Skills

  • Cloud Platforms: Deep experience with AWS (S3, Lambda, Glue, Redshift) and/or Azure (Data Lake, Synapse).
  • Programming & Scripting: Proficiency in Python, SQL, PySpark, etc.
  • ETL/ELT & Streaming: Expertise in technologies like Apache Airflow, Glue, Kafka, Informatica, EventBridge, etc.
  • Industrial Data Integration: Familiarity with OT data schema originating from OSIsoft PI, SCADA, MES, and Historian systems.
  • Information Modeling: Experience in defining semantic layers, asset hierarchies, and contextual models.
  • Data Governance: Hands‑on experience.
  • Data Quality: Ability to implement profiling, cleansing, standardization, and anomaly detection frameworks.
  • Security & Compliance: Knowledge of data privacy, access control, and secure data exchange protocols.
  • Defining and creating MLOPs pipeline.

Good to Have Skills

  • GenAI Exposure: Experience with LLMs, LangChain, HuggingFace, synthetic data generation, and prompt engineering.
  • Digital Twin Integration: Familiarity with nVidia Omniverse, AWS TwinMaker, Azure Digital Twin or similar platforms and concepts.
  • Visualization Tools: Power BI, Grafana, or custom dashboards for operational insights.
  • DevOps & Automation: CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitHub Actions), infrastructure‑as‑code (Terraform, CloudFormation).
  • Industry Standards: ISA-95, Unified Namespace (UNS), FAIR data principles, and DataOps methodologies.
