This position reports to the Director of Operations, Digital Services.

• Perform gap analysis and determine the best approach to close identified gaps.
• Act as functional lead on a variety of projects.
• Build relationships with key global partners within the manufacturing software scope.
• Partner with team leadership and global partners on strategy to drive adoption of partner product suites in North America.
• Maintain deep, domain-specific knowledge of Information/MES solution architectures in the manufacturing software space.
• Mentor and develop colleagues across the corporation.
• Advise on AI and generative-AI architecture within Convergix-delivered solutions, including evaluation of integration patterns, data security boundaries, vendor options, and total cost of ownership.
• Guide customers on their AI strategy and roadmap, translating business outcomes into pragmatic, vendor-aware architectures aligned to Convergix delivery.

• Hands-on experience in industrial manufacturing environments with working knowledge of industrial controls, PLC platforms, and OT/IT convergence
• Proven track record leading end-to-end solution architecture — requirements, systems analysis, design, and implementation governance — across complex, multi-stakeholder programs
• Deep architectural experience across configurable and custom software, with mastery of application development methodologies, configuration management, middleware, networking, and integration patterns
• Architectural-level knowledge of relational and time-series databases (SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, InfluxDB) and the data-modeling and integration trade-offs across them
• Demonstrated experience architecting enterprise-to-plant-floor integrations (ERP, MES, SCADA, historian)
• Advanced experience designing solutions on the major industrial software platforms — Rockwell, Siemens, Aveva/Wonderware, and GE — with the ability to make pragmatic vendor-selection recommendations
• Demonstrated customer-facing advisory experience — pre-sales engagement, stakeholder workshops, and translating business outcomes into delivery architectures
• Practical proficiency using GitHub Copilot and/or Claude in architecture, prototyping, and documentation workflows, with the judgment to validate, challenge, and refine AI-generated output
• Architectural fluency in generative-AI and LLM patterns (retrieval-augmented generation, agentic workflows, prompt and context design, model selection, evaluation, data residency, privacy) to inform build/buy and integration decisions

Desirable

• Project management experience an asset
• Applied generative-AI delivery experience (production LLM features, RAG systems, AI tooling integration) an asset
