Our client operates a large, highly automated manufacturing environment with advanced robotics, AI-enabled systems, and high-speed production lines. To support scalable analytics and real-time decision-making across equipment and departments, the organization is redesigning its IT/OT data architecture around a Unified Namespace.

The Senior IT/OT Data Architect is responsible for defining and governing this target architecture, enabling reliable real-time and historical data flows across industrial systems in a regulated manufacturing context.

• Consult stakeholders to refine user requirements and translate them into functional and technical specifications.
• Design end-to-end IT/OT data architectures supporting real-time and historical analytics use cases.
• Define and implement scalable data pipelines to extract, enrich, and publish industrial data into a Unified Namespace.
• Design the UNS data model, including naming conventions, topic hierarchies, and data contracts aligned with ISA-88/95 principles.
• Guide and mentor engineers during development and deployment of data pipelines and integration components.
• Design custom components to expose data from legacy or previously closed industrial systems.
• Monitor, analyze, and optimize pipeline performance in terms of latency, throughput, and reliability.
• Document architectural decisions and ensure adherence to best practices and coding standards.
