- 12+ years in engineering or R&D, turning emerging technologies into working solutions.
- Proven technical leadership in owning the architecture and delivery of complex solutions and mentoring engineers, and familiarity with Agile practices (Scrum/Kanban).
- Strong system design (microservices, APIs, event-driven architecture, high availability, security by design) and DevOps (Docker, CI/CD, Git, IaC, Windows/Linux, virtualization, networking).
- Expert in Python or C# and comfortable with the other, writing clean, tested, maintainable code.
- Proficient in AI-assisted engineering, using AI tools across design, coding, testing, and documentation.
- Working knowledge of IIoT/edge technologies, including industrial protocols (OPC UA, MQTT, Modbus) and containerized workloads on resource-constrained devices.
- Standards and R&D: contributing to standards bodies (e.g., Open Group, Margo, OPC Foundation), patents or publications, and conformance and multi-vendor interoperability testing.
- Infrastructure and security: Active Directory, PKI/X.509 certificates, IEC 62443, monitoring (Redfish, Zabbix, Prometheus, Grafana), and orchestration (Barbara, K3s).
- Agentic and edge AI: building and deploying agents (agent SDKs, MCP, RAG) to automate engineering and business workflows, on-device inference, and LLM fine-tuning.
- Industrial hardware: controllers, I/O, gateways, and edge boards; embedded Linux and serial/RS-485.
- Virtualized and real-time control: containerized control runtimes, real-time Linux, and TSN.
Rewards
