Industrial IoT / Sensor Integration Engineer

Project Summary

AIS is seeking an Industrial IoT / Sensor Integration Engineer to support the installation, retrofit, and integration of aftermarket and OEM sensors on existing equipment within a shipyard environment.

This role will focus on instrumenting equipment for telemetry collection, troubleshooting sensor and connectivity issues, and interfacing installed sensors with local edge/gateway devices for upstream data transmission to enterprise monitoring platforms.

The ideal candidate has hands‑on experience working with industrial equipment, sensors, instrumentation, and field wiring in manufacturing, maritime, shipyard, or heavy industrial environments. This role requires frequent on‑site presence. Travel to one or more industrial locations will be required.

Key Responsibilities

• Install and commission aftermarket and OEM sensors on existing shipyard and manufacturing equipment.
• Assist in determining appropriate sensor placement and mounting methods for telemetry collection.
• Perform retrofits of legacy equipment to support instrumentation and monitoring.
• Run, terminate, and test field wiring for sensors and instrumentation.
• Interpret and update wiring diagrams, schematics, and installation documentation.
• Connect sensors to local edge/gateway devices or industrial controllers.
• Configure basic communication settings for data transmission to upstream platforms.
• Support troubleshooting of device-to-gateway and gateway-to-network connectivity.
• Validate sensor performance and telemetry accuracy after installation.
• Diagnose and resolve issues involving faulty sensors, wiring, power, signal quality, or connectivity.
• Work with equipment operators and maintenance personnel during commissioning and troubleshooting.
• Document installations, wiring paths, sensor mappings, and configuration settings.
• Coordinate with engineering, maintenance, IT, and operations teams to schedule installations and minimize operational disruption.

Required For This Opportunity

• Associate's or Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Mechatronics, or related discipline. Equivalent hands‑on field experience may be substituted for formal education.
• Five (5) years of experience installing, wiring, and commissioning industrial or aftermarket sensors on mechanical or electrical equipment.
• Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and equipment drawings.
• Familiarity with industrial signal types and interfaces including 4‑20 mA, 0‑10 V, digital I/O, and serial communications.
• Experience troubleshooting sensor, cabling, and instrumentation issues in industrial environments.
• Basic understanding of industrial networking and connectivity including Ethernet, serial communications, and field protocols.
• Ability to work safely in active industrial/shipyard/manufacturing environments.
• Strong hands‑on mechanical aptitude and comfort working directly with equipment in the field.

Nice to Have Skills

• Experience with industrial gateways, edge devices, or telemetry collection hardware.
• Familiarity with PLCs, industrial controllers, or SCADA‑connected equipment.
• Experience in shipyard, maritime, manufacturing, defense, or heavy industrial environments.
• Exposure to industrial communication protocols such as Modbus, OPC‑UA, or MQTT.
• Experience supporting predictive maintenance, equipment monitoring, or industrial telemetry initiatives.

Benefits and Compensation

AIS offers competitive and fair compensation that reflects the skills, experience, and contributions of each team member. The targeted base salary range for this role is $102,000–$154,000 per year. This range is a guideline and the final offer will be based on several factors including skillset, competencies, experience, education, certifications, and location.
