Job Description

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Integration Lead to drive the seamless integration of Digital Twin platforms with enterprise systems, real-time data sources, and external applications. You will lead the design, development, and execution of robust integration architectures that enable bi-directional data flow between physical assets (via IoT/edge) and digital twin models, ensuring real-time synchronization, reliability, and scalability for large-scale rollouts.

This critical role bridges OT (Operational Technology) and IT systems, working closely with Solution Architects, Configuration Leads, and client stakeholders to deliver high-performance Digital Twin solutions (including platforms like ScaleTwin, ScaleOut Digital Twins, Azure Digital Twins, etc.).

• Lead the end-to-end integration strategy and implementation for Digital Twin rollouts, ensuring reliable connectivity between digital twins and source systems.
• Design and architect integration patterns for:
  • Real-time data ingestion from IoT sensors, edge devices, SCADA, PLCs, and historians
  • Bi-directional synchronization with enterprise systems (ERP, MES, PLM, EAM, CMMS)
  • Event streaming and complex event processing platforms
  • Analytics, and visualization dashboards
• Select, configure, and optimize integration technologies such as REST APIs, ETL tools, iPaaS (MuleSoft, Boomi, Azure Logic Apps), and message brokers.
• Define data mapping, transformation rules, error handling, retry mechanisms, and monitoring for high-volume, low-latency integrations.
• Ensure scalability, security, and compliance (data governance, cybersecurity standards for OT/IT convergence) in all integration layers.
• Lead integration testing (unit, system, end-to-end), performance tuning, and troubleshooting of integration failures during pilot and production rollouts.
• Establish integration governance, reusable connectors, templates, and CI/CD pipelines for integration components.
• Collaborate with Configuration Leads and Solution Architects to align integration design with digital twin model configuration and overall solution architecture.
• Manage integration risks, dependencies, and change requests throughout the rollout lifecycle.
• Conduct workshops with client IT/OT teams, provide technical guidance, and support knowledge transfer and hyper-care post go-live.

• 8+ years of experience in system integration, middleware, or data engineering roles, with at least 4–5 years specifically in IoT, IIoT, or Digital Twin implementations.
• Proven success leading integrations for large-scale Digital Twin, IoT platform, or real-time analytics rollouts in manufacturing, logistics, energy, or asset-intensive industries.
• Strong hands-on expertise in:
  • Integration platforms and protocols: Kafka, MQTT, OPC UA, AMQP, REST/SOAP, GraphQL
  • Cloud integration services (AWS IoT, Azure IoT Hub, Event Grid, Azure Data Factory)
  • Enterprise application integration (SAP, Oracle, Siemens, Rockwell, etc.)
  • Message queuing, streaming, and API management
• Deep understanding of OT/IT convergence, time-series data handling, and real-time synchronization challenges.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electronics/Electrical Engineering, or related field.

Preferred Skills & Certifications

• Experience with ScaleTwin / ScaleOut Digital Twin platform or similar high-throughput digital twin solutions.
• Familiarity with industry standards (ISA-95, RAMI 4.0, OPC UA Companion Specifications, Digital Twin Consortium frameworks).
• Experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), DevOps practices, and monitoring tools (Prometheus, ELK Stack, Datadog).
• Strong stakeholder management, and communication skills.
• Certifications in:
  • AWS Certified Solutions Architect or Azure Integration Specialist
  • MuleSoft, Boomi, or Kafka-related certifications
  • IIoT or Digital Twin certifications (preferred)
