• Troubleshoot and remediate performance, security, and connectivity issues across hybrid environments
• Document architectures, configurations, and operational runbooks
Key Deliverables
• Production ready AWS architectures aligned to manufacturing and OT requirements
• Secure, reliable hybrid connectivity between AWS and plant systems
• Automated, repeatable infrastructure deployments using IaC
• Standardized cloud patterns that can be replicated across multiple plants
• Clear technical documentation and knowledge transfer artifacts to support ongoing operations
Required Skills & Experience
• Senior level AWS architecture and
hands on implementation experience
• Strong experience designing and operating
hybrid cloud environments (AWS + on?prem)
• Deep knowledge of AWS networking and security (VPCs, IAM, routing, connectivity)
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools (Terraform, CloudFormation, etc.)
• Prior experience supporting cloud solutions tied to
manufacturing, industrial, energy, or heavy manufacturing environments
• Comfort working in plant environments and partnering with OT and operations teams
