Contract / Full-Time

• Design end‑to‑end architectures for sorting systems covering automation layers
  , real‑time control
  , SCADA
  , IT applications
  , and integration with enterprise platforms
  .
• Ensure sorting solutions meet operational needs for throughput, reliability, maintainability, latency, and resilience.
• Define and enforce standards and patterns for OT–IT integration
  , including data flows, protocols, security, and lifecycle management.
• Identify opportunities to modernize platforms (e.g., modularization, telemetry, predictive maintenance, digital twins).

• Provide hands‑on solution design across SCADA, PLC/ICS
  , sorting equipment controllers, APIs, data capture systems, monitoring, and dashboards.
• Review vendor and internal designs to guarantee they meet requirements for safety, uptime, cyber‑security, and operational performance.
• Guide architectural decisions around real‑time data acquisition
  , event processing, equipment integration, and system decomposition.
• Support the adoption of modern automation concepts (edge computing, modular OT, containerized services where appropriate).

• Partner closely with logistics operations
  , maintenance teams
  , automation vendors
  , and IT infrastructure/security
  .
• Ensure sorting solutions follow security and network guidelines (ICS segmentation, OT security controls, patching, remote access, etc.).
• Facilitate architecture reviews, solution workshops, and integration/acceptance testing.
• Align with Infra & Ops teams on monitoring
  , telemetry
  , backup/restore
  , versioning, and incident response for OT systems.

• Support teams during equipment commissioning, operational readiness, go‑live, and hyper‑care.
• Contribute to incident and root cause analysis for sorting systems, identifying long‑term improvements.
• Define and refine runbooks, operational dashboards, alarms/alerts, and real‑time performance KPIs.
• Ensure solutions meet requirements for safety
  , regulatory compliance
  , fault tolerance
  , and business continuity
  .
• Track emerging trends in automation, logistics systems, industrial IoT, and real‑time operations.
• Promote best practices in modular automation
  , sensor integration
  , data-driven operations
  , and predictive maintenance
  .
• Coach teams, share knowledge, and foster a culture of continuous improvement across IT and OT.

• 8–10+ years in solution architecture
  , industrial automation
  , OT/SCADA systems
  , real‑time control systems
  , or complex operational environments
  .
• Hands‑on experience working with sorting systems
  , conveyors, robotics, PLCs, SCADA, MES, or similar automation platforms.
• Strong background in systems integration
  , operational reliability
  , industrial networks
  , and/or operations‑heavy environments
  .
• Experience integrating OT platforms with enterprise IT, data services, APIs, or event‑driven systems.

• Solid knowledge of SCADA systems, PLCs/ICS
  , industrial protocols (Modbus, OPC-UA, MQTT, etc.).
• Understanding of OT cyber‑security
  , segmented industrial networks, access control, and monitoring.
• Experience with real‑time operations, redundancy patterns, failover designs, and latency‑critical architecture.
• Familiarity with IT integration patterns: APIs, microservices, message buses, event streaming, etc.
• Understanding of data ingestion, OEE, telemetry, and operational dashboards.
• Experience with containerization or edge computing is a plus (not mandatory).

• Experience in postal/logistics
  , manufacturing, warehousing, or 24/7 industrial operations.
• Knowledge of sorting systems, warehouse automation, robotics, or industrial automation lifecycle management.
• Cyber‑security certifications or experience in securing industrial environments.
• Experience with Agile/SAFe environments.
