Key Responsibilities

• Build andmaintaindigital manufacturing applications (edge services APIs/microservices and web dashboards).

• Integrate OT/IIoTsystems (PLCs robots vision AMRs) with cloud and enterprise platforms (e.g. MES data lake analytics) using standard industrial protocols and APIs (OPC UA MQTT REST).

• Design and deploy automation solutions (RPA agent-based workflows and LLM/RAG-enabled assistants) with human-in-the-loop controls safety gates and auditable logs.

• Operate and scale solutions through lifecycle management (scheduling versioning/rollback monitoring/observability) and reusable documentation/runbooks.

• Plan and execute testing and deployment activities (FAT/SAT commissioning run-at-rate) and produce validation documentation as applicable.

• Develop performance dashboards and analytics (OEE cycle time quality KPIs anomaly detection) and measure automation outcomes (task success rate error rate time savedtime toinsights).

• Partner with Manufacturing Engineering Operations Quality IT/Cybersecurity R&D and externalpartnersto ensure secure deployments and rapid issue resolution through root-cause analysis.
