Solution Architect (Scada)

Context

As a Solution Architect for Sorting, you will define and guide the end-to-end architecture of next-generation sorting platforms for a large logistics organization. The role sits at the crossroads of industrial automation, operational technology (OT), and enterprise IT, ensuring highly reliable, secure, and scalable sorting solutions that operate in real-time and support 24/7 continuity across sorting centers.

Responsibilities

  • Design end-to-end architectures for sorting systems across automation layers, real-time control, SCADA, IT applications, and enterprise integrations

  • Ensure solutions meet operational requirements for throughput, latency, resilience, maintainability, and uptime

  • Define and enforce architectural standards for OT–IT integration, including data flows, protocols, security, and lifecycle management

  • Provide hands-on architectural guidance across PLC/ICS, SCADA, equipment controllers, APIs, data capture, monitoring, and dashboards

  • Review vendor and internal designs to ensure compliance with safety, cyber-security, and operational performance requirements

  • Guide decisions on real-time data acquisition, event processing, system decomposition, and equipment integration

  • Collaborate with operations, engineering, infrastructure, security teams, and automation vendors

  • Support commissioning, go-live, hyper-care, and operational readiness of sorting systems

  • Contribute to incident analysis, root cause investigations, and long-term platform improvements

  • Define runbooks, KPIs, alarms, dashboards, and operational procedures for OT environments

  • Track and promote innovation in automation, industrial IoT, predictive maintenance, and modular architectures

Technical skills

Must have

  • 8–10+ years of experience in solution architecture, industrial automation, OT/SCADA, or real-time operational systems

  • Hands-on experience with sorting systems, conveyors, robotics, PLCs, SCADA, or MES platforms

  • Strong background in systems integration and operationally critical environments

  • Proven experience integrating OT platforms with enterprise IT systems, APIs, or event-driven architectures

Should have

  • Experience with OT security principles, ICS network segmentation, and industrial cyber-security controls

  • Familiarity with real-time data processing, telemetry, monitoring, and performance optimization

  • Ability to collaborate effectively with operations, maintenance, and external automation suppliers

Nice to have

  • Exposure to edge computing, modular automation, or containerized services in OT contexts

  • Knowledge of predictive maintenance, digital twins, or advanced analytics for industrial systems
