- Establish common communication protocols and integration standards across product lines, including MQTT, RS485, Modbus TCP, BACnet and Sparkplug
- Design data ontologies and semantic models to enable interoperability and consistent data usage across the organization
- Develop and validate Proof of Concepts and Lighthouse projects, translating architectural concepts into scalable solutions
- Collaborate with R&D, product management, IT and cybersecurity teams to ensure alignment, security and successful adoption
- Evaluate emerging IoT/OT technologies and industry standards, contributing to architectural decisions and future platform evolution
What We're Looking For
- Strong experience in IoT/OT architecture and in designing device-to-cloud solutions within industrial, building automation or similar environments
- Solid hands-on knowledge of industrial communication protocols such as MQTT, RS485, Modbus TCP and BACnet; experience with Sparkplug is a plus
- Experience with data ontologies and semantic modelling frameworks such as Google Digital Buildings, Project Haystack, Brick Schema or similar
- A hands-on technical mindset, with the ability to develop PoCs, configure systems and troubleshoot integration challenges
- Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to influence and drive alignment across complex, international organizations
- Experience with edge computing, cloud IoT platforms or HVAC/refrigeration systems is considered an advantage
What You'll Get from Us
- We promote from within and support your learning with mentoring, training, and access to global opportunities.
- You’ll have flexibility, autonomy, and support to do your best work while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Your well-being matters to us.
- We strive to create an inclusive work environment where people of all backgrounds are respected, and valued for who they are.
- You’ll receive benefits like 13th salary, annual bonus, paid vacation, pension plans, personal insurance, and more. These vary by country and contract, but they’re worth asking about—we think they’re pretty great.
