Proven experience with asset reliability methodologies such as FMEA and RCM.
Strong understanding of integration protocols and architectures for connecting
industrial operational technology (OT) to enterprise IT.
Industry experience: Significant experience in a heavy manufacturing or asset intensive industry, such as primary metals, mining, or chemicals.
Solution design: Demonstrated ability to create and document end-to-end
architectural designs, including system landscapes, data models, and integration
