Job Description

Your role

oT Edge & Data Center Integration

  • Design and deploy Azure IoT Edge workloads running on data center gateways/servers to ingest telemetry from:
    • BMS/BAS systems
    • Power systems (UPS, PDUs, ATS, Generators)
    • Cooling and mechanical systems
    • Environmental sensors (temperature, humidity, airflow, water leak)
    • IT infrastructure (SNMP, Modbus, BACnet, OPC-UA)
  • Build MQTT-based ingestion pipelines to securely stream telemetry from local DCIM collectors into the Azure cloud.
  • Implement local processing logic for buffering, aggregation, transformation, and on-premise failover.

Cloud Data Pipeline Engineering

  • Develop end‑to‑end data flows using Azure IoT Hub, Event Hub, Stream Analytics, Azure Functions, Data Explorer, and Storage
  • Build scalable and secure APIs and microservices to expose telemetry for customers, partners, and internal services.
  • Implement real-time alarming and event processing in the cloud using serverless compute.
  • Integrate telemetry into analytics platforms to support:
    • Predictive maintenance
    • Capacity forecasting
    • Energy efficiency AI models
    • SLA/uptime reporting

Platform Reliability & Operations

  • Implement robust monitoring, diagnostics, and observability using Log Analytics, Azure Monitor, and Application Insights
  • Troubleshoot connectivity, protocol translation, cloud ingestion, and Edge deployment issues.
  • Ensure configuration management and version control of IoT Edge modules.

Security & Compliance

  • Implement strong end‑to‑end security across:
    • Device identity and certificates
    • Encrypted MQTT communication
    • Secure onboarding with DPS
    • Azure RBAC and Key Vault-based secrets management
  • Ensure solutions meet data center security policies and customer data governance requirements.

Collaboration & Documentation

  • Partner with DC Operations, Facilities, Product Management, Data Science, and Customer Engineering teams.
  • Document architecture, deployment processes, and support handover materials.
  • Contribute to design standards and best practices for DCIM modernization.
