You will also design and deploy applied AI solutions that leverage equipment and process data to drive predictive maintenance, automated quality inspection, process optimization, and intelligent manufacturing workflows.
The ideal candidate will have direct hands-on experience connecting industrial equipment (PLCs, SCADA, Torque Tools, CNC machines) to enterprise manufacturing systems (MES), developing custom applications for manufacturing environments, building applied AI solutions for production use cases, or deploying industrial connectivity and data integration solutions using modern DevOps practices at scale.

Basic Qualifications
