About the role

  • The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in Azure services, industrial protocols, edge computing, cybersecurity, and systems integration across manufacturing, utilities, energy, or other industrial environments.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the architecture, design, and technical governance of Azure-based industrial IoT and edge solutions.
  • Design solutions using Azure services such as Azure IoT Operations, Azure IoT Hub, Azure Event Hubs, Azure Data Explorer, Azure Functions, Azure Stream Analytics, Azure Kubernetes Service, Azure Arc, Azure Monitor, Microsoft Defender for IoT, and Azure Digital Twins as appropriate.
  • Develop strategies for ingesting and normalizing data from industrial protocols and systems such as OPC UA, Modbus, MQTT, BACnet, DNP3, and proprietary OEM interfaces.
  • Collaborate with OT engineers, plant operations, cybersecurity teams, infrastructure teams, and software developers to ensure solutions align with operational requirements and safety constraints.
  • Design data architectures that support real-time monitoring, historian integration, predictive maintenance, condition monitoring, asset performance management, and advanced analytics use cases.
  • Ensure architectures incorporate security-by-design principles, including zero trust, network segmentation, role-based access control, secrets management, device hardening, and regulatory compliance.
  • Provide technical leadership during pilots, proof-of-concepts, and production deployments, including design reviews, troubleshooting, and performance optimization.
  • Support cost modeling, environment sizing, and cloud consumption planning for IIoT workloads.

Requirements

  • 3+ years of experience designing or deploying industrial IoT / OT-integrated solutions in manufacturing, energy, utilities, transportation, mining, or similar industrial sectors.
  • Experience integrating cloud platforms with industrial environments, including PLCs, SCADA, MES, historians, industrial gateways, or plant-floor networks.
  • Experience with infrastructure as code and automation using tools such as Bicep, ARM, Terraform, PowerShell, or Azure DevOps/GitHub Actions.

  • Experience with Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes, industrial edge gateways, or disconnected/low-connectivity operating environments.
  • Experience with historian platforms, time-series analytics, and digital twin modeling.
  • Familiarity with industrial cybersecurity standards and frameworks such as ISA/IEC 62443, NIST CSF, NERC CIP, or sector-specific controls.
  • Experience designing solutions for regulated or high-assurance environments.
  • Knowledge of data engineering and visualization platforms such as Power BI, Synapse, Fabric, or third-party industrial analytics tools.
  • Employment decisions are based solely on qualifications, merit, and business needs.

Skills

  • Establish non-functional requirements for availability, scalability, latency, resiliency, observability, and disaster recovery.
  • Mentor engineering teams and provide architectural oversight across implementation and operational handoff.
