Job description

Flex is the diversified manufacturing partner of choice that helps market-leading brands design, build and deliver innovative products that improve the world. A career at Flex offers the opportunity to make a difference and invest in your growth in a respectful, inclusive, and collaborative environment.

Litmus Edge SME - Systems Integration Engineer - Chennai, India

We are building an internal capability to deploy and support the Litmus Edge platform across our global manufacturing sites. You will be the hands‑on expert who gets sites connected, data flowing, and local teams enabled. You do not need prior Litmus experience. If you know OT/IT integration and industrial platforms, you will get up to speed quickly. What matters is that you have done this kind of work before on comparable technology.

What a typical day looks like:

• Deploy and configure Litmus Edge at manufacturing sites, connecting PLCs, SCADA, and historians to enterprise systems via standard industrial protocols.
• Design Unified Namespace (UNS) structures aligned with ISA-95 to make plant‑floor data usable at the enterprise level.
• Integrate Litmus northbound with ERP/MES platforms (SAP, Oracle, Baan) and cloud targets (Azure, AWS, Snowflake).
• Support sites post‑deployment: troubleshoot integration issues, maintain configurations, and upskill local engineers.
• Produce integration documentation, SOPs, and configuration guides that other teams can follow.

The experience we’re looking to add to our team:

• 4‑7 years of hands‑on experience in industrial automation, IT/OT integration, or IIoT platform deployment in a manufacturing environment.
• Working knowledge of industrial protocols: OPC UA/DA, MQTT, Modbus, Profinet, or Ethernet/IP.
• Experience integrating OT systems (PLCs, SCADA, DCS, historians) with IT or cloud layers. The specific platform matters less than the experience pattern.
• Familiarity with ISA-95, Industry 4.0 architecture, and edge computing concepts.
• Comfortable working directly at manufacturing sites and translating technical work into clear documentation.
• Direct experience with Litmus Edge, Ignition, Kepware, ThingWorx, AVEVA, or a comparable IIoT/edge platform.
• Scripting skills in Python, Node-RED, or SQL for data transformation and pipeline tasks.
• Basic understanding of OT cybersecurity principles, ISA/IEC 62443.
• Exposure to cloud IoT services or time‑series databases such as InfluxDB or OSIsoft PI.

What you’ll receive for the great work you provide:

• Health Insurance
• PTO
