• Lead capital and site projects to implement or expand upon known solutions to cover common business needs.
• Gather requirements, build business cases, manage stakeholders, request funding, coordinate with the IoT team to deliver solutions, measure the outcome, and validate results.
• Reflect on implementation and provide feedback to the IoT team developers to optimize solutions.
• Extract, clean, and validate data from the shop floor via knowledge of sensors, existing network infrastructure, standard playbook of hardware.
• Continuous improvement, research, and development on underlying IoT technology stack using edge, cloud, and hybrid methodologies to meet business needs and reflect industry trends.
