We’re looking for a hands-on Smart Factory Architect who can design and drive delivery of edge-to-cloud industrial data & application architectures across global manufacturing sites. You’ll bridge OT systems(PLC/SCADA/DCS/MES/Historians) with cloud services (Azure/AWS/Snowflake, etc.),ensuring ISA-95 interoperability, robust cybersecurity (Zero Trust), and reliable data flows for use cases like performance analytics, predictive maintenance, and digital twins. You’ll operate as a technical leader who can review architecture, validate implementation plans, unblock delivery, and communicate clearly across engineering, OT, security, networking, and site stakeholders.
Job Responsibility:
Act as the technical expert for Smart Factory / Edge architectures in a multi-site, multi-stakeholder environment
Review architectural designs (edge, network, cloud, security, data models) and confirm the feasibility of implementation plans
Align with Cloud Engineers and OT consultants to ensure ISA-95 compliant IT/OT integration and interoperability across layers (L0–L4/5)
Validate that all required services are deployed and configured correctly (cloud resources, edge runtime, connectivity, identity, monitoring)
Define and validate edge-to-cloud data flow requirements
Create logical & conceptual models for contextualization
Validate conceptual and logical modelling of the factory asset hierarchy (site/area/line/cell/equipment/component) and mapping to data streams
Support the implementation of industrial connectivity patterns (e.g., OPC UA, MQTT, Modbus, REST) and integration with OT data sources (historians, SCADA, MES, CMMS, LIMS when relevant)
Drive architecture decisions for ingestion, storage, and analytics using cloud services
Ensure observability is in place: logging, metrics, tracing, alerting, and operational runbooks
Coordinate with site IT/networking to ensure connectivity readiness and firewall rules
Ensure alignment with factory cybersecurity and Zero Trust principles
Own the go-live checklist and drive issue resolution during integration testing and cutover
Support test data ingestion and end-to-end validation
Validate performance and reliability requirements (throughput, latency, resilience, recovery) and ensure operational handover readiness
Contribute to Digital Twin concepts built on IT/OT convergence (asset hierarchy + telemetry + context)
Work hands-on with OT / Smart Factory platforms
Requirements:
7+ years of experience in industrial IT/OT, smart factory, or manufacturing digitalization roles, with architect-level ownership of designs and deployments
Proven hands-on delivery experience implementing edge-to-cloud integration in real factory environments
Strong understanding of ISA-95 (integration patterns and manufacturing system layers)
