Job Description

We are seeking an experienced Solution Architect to lead the end-to-end architecture and successful rollout of enterprise-grade Digital Twin solutions. You will be responsible for designing scalable, high-performance digital twin architectures that integrate physical assets, real-time data streams, simulation models, analytics, and enterprise systems to deliver measurable business outcomes such as predictive maintenance, operational optimization, and reduced downtime.

This is a senior technical role that combines deep architecture expertise with strong leadership in large-scale digital twin implementations (including platforms like ScaleTwin, ScaleOut Digital Twins, Azure Digital Twins, Siemens, or custom solutions).

• Lead the solution architecture for Digital Twin rollouts, including high-level and detailed design of twin models, data architecture, integration patterns, and deployment strategy.
• Define end-to-end architecture covering:
  • Digital Twin model hierarchy and entity relationships
  • Real-time data ingestion and synchronization from IoT, SCADA, historians, and edge devices
  • State management, event processing, and simulation engines
  • Integration with enterprise systems (ERP, MES, PLM, EAM)
  • Analytics, and visualization layers
• Select and design the optimal technology stack for scalable digital twin deployments, including in-memory computing platforms (e.g., ScaleTwin/ScaleOut), cloud services (AWS, Azure), streaming platforms (Kafka, MQTT), and containerization (Kubernetes).
• Create architecture blueprints, diagrams, and documentation (including logical, physical, and deployment views) to guide implementation teams.
• Conduct architecture reviews, risk assessments, and performance/scalability evaluations for large-scale twin deployments handling millions of entities and high-velocity data.
• Collaborate with Configuration Leads, Consultants, Data Engineers, and Client Stakeholders to ensure the solution is configurable, maintainable, and aligned with business requirements.
• Define standards, best practices, and reusable reference architectures for future Digital Twin rollouts.
• Provide technical leadership during pilot phases, full-scale rollout, go-live, and hyper-care periods.
• Mentor configuration teams on digital twin architecture principles.

• 10+ years of overall IT/solution architecture experience, with at least 4–6 years in Digital Twin, IIoT, IoT platforms, or real-time simulation solutions.
• Proven track record in successfully architecting and rolling out large-scale Digital Twin solutions for manufacturing, logistics, energy, or asset-intensive industries.
• Strong expertise in:
  • Digital Twin platforms and frameworks (ScaleTwin, ScaleOut Digital Twins, Azure Digital Twins, NVIDIA Omniverse, or equivalent)
  • Real-time data architectures (Kafka, MQTT, OPC UA, Spark Streaming)
  • Cloud platforms (AWS IoT, Azure IoT Hub, Google Cloud)
  • In-memory computing, complex event processing, and stateful applications
  • Microservices, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and DevOps practices

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Mechanical/Industrial Engineering, or related field
