Designing IIoT, edge, cloud, data and integration architectures. Working directly with customers to understand requirements and shape solutions. Supporting workshops, demonstrations and technical discussions. Integrating technologies such as PLCs, gateways, industrial networks, cloud platforms, analytics tools and edge devices. Ensuring solutions are aligned with cybersecurity principles and good architectural practice. Supporting installation, commissioning, troubleshooting and continuous improvement.
