• Consistent implementation of the semantic model at the edge
• Support for real-time AI inference and decision-making

This role ensures that what is designed in the cloud can actually work in the plant.

Job Responsibilities

1. Define Edge Architecture and Runtime

Design edge platform including:

• Runtime environments (containers, orchestration)
• Deployment models (on-prem, hybrid)

Define integration with enterprise edge platforms and ensure scalability across multiple sites.

2. Integrate OT Systems (Technical Integration)

Own the technical connectivity and protocol-level integration with OT systems:

• Define integration patterns for PLCs, DCS, SCADA systems, historians, and industrial data sources
• Support protocols such as OPC-UA, Modbus, and MQTT
• Ensure compatibility with existing plant infrastructure

Note: Semantic translation and data modeling for OT data are governed by the Principal Manufacturing & Semantic Architect.

3. Enforce Semantic Model at the Edge

Ensure data is:

• Normalized
• Validated
• Aligned with canonical definitions before leaving the plant

Prevent "garbage-in" at scale.

4. Enable Edge-Based AI Inference

Design architecture to support:

• Local model execution
• Real-time decision-making

Ensure:

• Low latency
• High reliability
• Offline capability

5. Design for Security and Compliance

Implement:

• Secure communication (outbound-only patterns)
• Device identity and authentication
• Certificate management

Align with enterprise security standards.

6. Support Deployment and Lifecycle Management

Define:

• Edge deployment processes
• Update mechanisms
• Version control for edge components

Ensure maintainability across sites and customers.

7. Collaborate Across Teams

Partner with:

• Principal Manufacturing & Semantic Architect (canonical model enforcement at the edge)
• Principal Industrial AI Data Architect (data pipeline integration and edge inference data requirements)
• Platform Engineering (cloud-to-edge deployment and orchestration)
• Plant Operations teams (site-specific requirements and constraints)

Ensure consistent execution across domains.

Key Competencies

• Deep understanding of plant operations and constraints

• Ability to design practical, deployable solutions

• Strong problem-solving in constrained environments

• Cross-domain communication (engineering, IT, digital)

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering - Electrical, Computer, Chemical, Industrial, or related field (Master's preferred)
• 10+ years of experience in OT systems, industrial automation, or edge/IoT architectures
• Strong experience with PLC/DCS/SCADA systems and industrial protocols (OPC-UA, Modbus, MQTT)
• Experience with edge-enabled inference model deployment
• Experience integrating OT with IT/cloud platforms

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with:
• Enterprise edge platforms (e.g., Dell NativeEdge, Azure IoT Edge, AWS IoT Greengrass)
• Containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Cloud platforms (AWS preferred)
• Familiarity with:
• Cybersecurity in OT environments
• Real-time systems and constraints

Leadership Expectations

• Operate as a thought leader in edge architecture and OT integration
• Influence without direct authority across multiple teams and partners
• Drive standards adoption for edge deployment and OT connectivity across internal and external stakeholders
• Balance long-term architectural vision with near-term delivery needs
