IOT Developer

Looking for a proactive and skilled Industrial IoT Engineer (IIoT) to drive the innovation of our real-time data collection processes and control systems for industrial automation and manless yard operations. This role is key to configuring and connecting industrial automation, controls, and sensor equipment, ensuring seamless and secure data flow from devices to our Industry 4.0 digital solutions. Working alongside cross-functional teams, you will develop scalable and secure IIoT solutions that will be leveraged in our next generation software system. This is an opportunity to get in at the early stages of development in the next generation product, building on the success of the existing solution.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain solutions to connect a range of monitoring, control, automation and inspection systems, enabling real-time data collection and reliable connectivity.
• Collaborate with customers and vendors to understand equipment specifications, gather requirements, and define efficient procedures for data extraction, ensuring compatibility with our data systems. Build a network of IIoT suppliers and partners to increase the portfolio of connectivity solutions.
• Pre-process and cleanse raw data from industrial equipment, optimising it for seamless transmission to database services or shop-floor devices for further analytics.
• Establish a resilient and high-performance IIoT network infrastructure that ensures continuous data capture and seamless transmission, prioritising scalability and operational efficiency to support real-time data flows across manufacturing equipment.
• Provide hands-on support to troubleshoot connectivity, data extraction, and configuration issues, often collaborating closely with customer and vendor teams to resolve technical challenges.
• Develop and maintain detailed documentation for equipment configurations and data flows, offering training to internal and customer teams to support ongoing IIoT functionality and system improvements.

Qualifications

• BS, MS in Computer Science, Engineering, Robotics, or similar technical field of study; relevant certifications (e.g., IoT, network security) are a plus.
• Proficiency in general-purpose programming languages such as Java, C++, Python, for customising data extraction and manipulation. Understanding of network setups (LAN/WAN, VPN, firewalls) to enable efficient data transmission.
• Experience with industrial hardware for data acquisition, including integrating shop-floor equipment with digital solutions. Strong knowledge of industrial communication protocols (e.g., Profinet, Modbus, or MQTT) and serial communication (RS-232, RS-485).
• Understanding of real time data and signal processing algorithms.
• Understanding of sensor fusion algorithms to enhance machine perception and reliability.
• Competence in troubleshooting connectivity and data transmission issues related to industrial hardware and IoT systems.
• Ability to interpret technical specifications and configure solutions that align with system requirements and objectives. Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate with customers and cross-functional teams in a dynamic environment.

Bonus Skills/Experience

• Experience with robotics and autonomous control systems.
• Experience with computer vision systems and solutions.
• Experience with SQL and time series databases
