System Integration Engineer

JOB SUMMARY

The primary function of the Systems Integration Engineer is to develop and maintain integrations between manufacturing systems, control platforms, and IIoT infrastructure to ensure secure, reliable, real-time data exchange. The role configures and programs integration layers linking shopfloor systems to enterprise and cloud platforms, applying best practices in connectivity, data governance, and industrial communication to enhance system performance.

PRINCIPAL DUTIES

1. Assess and design data connectivity solutions for integrating shopfloor systems (equipment, testers, PLCs, SCADA) with MES, ERP, and cloud analytics platforms.

2. Implement and maintain integrations by configuring IIoT platforms to capture, transform, and transmit operational data securely in real time.

3. Apply industrial communication protocols (e.g., OPC UA, MQTT, Modbus, Profinet) to ensure interoperability across OTIT layers.

4. Develop, deploy, and monitor cloud-based data pipelines that enable analytics, traceability, and predictive applications.

5. Diagnose and resolve connectivity and data flow issues to maintain reliable and continuous operations.

6. Enforce compliance with cybersecurity standards, data governance frameworks, and regulatory requirements.

7. Develop and maintain comprehensive technical documentation of integration architectures, system interfaces, and workflows.

8. Collaborate with business and technical teams to ensure integration solutions meet enterprise data quality, performance, and scalability requirements.

9. Evaluate and implement emerging IIoT and cloud integration technologies, driving automation, standardization, and continuous improvement in data connectivity.

10. Perform other tasks as needed to support IT initiatives and business objectives.
