Nice to Have

• AMR/AGV, robotics, logistics, warehouse automation, or industrial software experience
• TimescaleDB, InfluxDB, Redis, Kafka, NATS, MQTT, or event‑driven architectures
• Data warehouses, BI, analytics platforms, or semantic layers
• Kubernetes/cloud‑native environments
• Multi‑tenant or multi‑site systems
• Simulation, digital twins, replay, or operational benchmarking

Important

This is not a pure DBA or reporting role.

The ideal candidate must be able to understand how database architecture impacts real‑time execution, system reliability, analytics, product performance, and long‑term scalability.
