Hybrid AI Data Architect & Engineer Enterprise Data

About The Role

The AI Data Architect & Engineer plays a critical role in building and scaling the company’s long‑term data and AI capabilities. This dual‑role position is responsible for both architecting enterprise‑grade data platforms and hands‑on development of data pipelines and integrations that support telematics, operational systems, analytics, predictive maintenance, and AI‑driven applications. The ideal candidate combines strong data‑engineering execution skills with architectural thinking and experience working with industrial IoT, telemetry, and other high‑volume machine‑generated data.

This role requires a balance of strategic design leadership and roll‑up‑your‑sleeves implementation.

• Design, implement, and evolve a scalable enterprise data architecture that supports telematics, operational, and enterprise data, including foundational data models, schemas, integration frameworks, and lakehouse architectures, while ensuring performance, reliability, cost efficiency, and scalability.
• Build, maintain, and optimize cloud‑based data pipelines and large‑scale data processing workflows to support analytics, AI, and enterprise reporting needs.
• Develop and manage ingestion pipelines for high‑volume streaming and batch telemetry data from forklifts, sensors, gateways, APIs, and edge devices, ensuring reliable, scalable, and standardized data capture.
• Integrate data across enterprise systems including ERP, CRM, service management, parts and warranty systems, and vendor telematics platforms, while supporting master data alignment across assets, customers, equipment, and locations.
• Standardize, normalize, enrich, and prepare machine‑generated and operational data to support predictive maintenance, operational intelligence, predictive analytics, and generative AI or RAG‑based applications.
• Collaborate with IT, Analytics, Product Management, Service teams, and third‑party vendors to translate business and operational requirements into scalable technical solutions, data integrations, and long‑term data strategy contributions.
• Partner with internal technology stakeholders to support data governance, security, access controls, observability, Dev Ops/Data Ops practices, and ongoing optimization of platform performance and cloud costs.
