Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement cloud-based data ingestion pipelines from manufacturing systems including PLCs, press controllers, CBM systems, and MES platforms.

• Publish and consume industrial data through MQTT-based Unified Namespace (UNS) architectures.

• Build scalable real-time, near real-time, and batch data pipelines on Amazon Web Services.

• Transform and model raw machine and operational data into contextualized, asset-based datasets.

• Integrate manufacturing data into Digital Twin, analytics, reporting, and KPI calculation platforms.

• Ensure high levels of data quality, reliability, observability, and pipeline performance.

• Collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, and analytics teams to support industrial data initiatives.

• Maintain documentation and support best practices for industrial data architecture and governance.

Required Qualifications

• Strong hands-on experience with Python for data engineering and pipeline development.

• Proficiency in SQL for analytics, transformations, and data processing.

• Experience with stream and batch processing architectures.

• Strong understanding of MQTT publish/subscribe communication patterns.
