Contract IoT Engineer AWS IoT Platform Stabilization & Terraform Migration

Engagement Type: Fixed-scope contractDuration: 1-2 monthsLocation: Fully Remote (U.S. time zones)Start: ASAP

Role Overview

We are looking for a senior IoT Engineer to stabilize and harden a production AWS IoT platform. This is not greenfield development. The focus is on issue resolution Infrastructure-as-Code migration standardized edge device provisioning and complete internal handoff.

Key Objectives

• Stabilize production issues (especially SNS notification reliability)
• Migrate entire platform to Terraform (IaC)
• Create repeatable documented provisioning workflow for InHand industrial edge routers
• Deliver high-quality documentation and knowledge transfer for internal ownership

Technology Stack

• AWS Services: IoT Core IoT SiteWise Lambda (Python/) SNS CloudWatch IAM S3 Managed Grafana
• IaC: Terraform
• Edge Hardware: InHandGo EC942 (or similar industrial routers)
• Tools: GitHub Enterprise

Responsibilities

• Triage and resolve open production issues prioritizing notification/alerting reliability
• Inventory import and migrate all AWS resources into clean Terraform modules with remote state
• Design and document a standardized cookie-cutter provisioning process for new edge routers (out-of-box fully integrated)
• Produce comprehensive documentation: architecture diagrams runbooks provisioning guides and operational procedures
• Conduct knowledge transfer sessions with internal team

Required Skills & Experience

• 5 years AWS cloud engineering with production support
• Strong hands-on experience with AWS IoT Core and AWS IoT SiteWise
• Advanced Terraform skills (module design resource import state management best practices)
• Experience provisioning industrial edge routers / cellular gateways with certificate-based onboarding
• Proficiency in AWS Lambda SNS IAM CloudWatch and Grafana
• Strong documentation and knowledge transfer skills
• Experience stabilizing and handing off inherited platforms

Preferred Skills

• Industrial / manufacturing IoT experience
• Cellular fleet management
• Terraform automation (pipelines custom UIs or modules)

Deliverables

• Fully stabilized platform with resolved notification issues
• Complete Terraform IaC codebase in GitHub Enterprise
• Repeatable documented edge router provisioning workflow
• High-quality architecture docs runbooks and operational guides
• Successful internal team handoff

This is a high-impact well-defined engagement ideal for a senior engineer who excels at cleanup standardization and handover work.
