Key Responsibilities
Lab & Office Smart Infrastructure
Specialized System Architecture: Architect resilient edge-to-cloud IoT solutions bridging high-demand Research Lab environments (fume hoods, cleanrooms, specialized HVAC, gas monitoring, cold storage) with modern corporate office automation.
Protocol & Data Integration: Unify legacy and modern protocols (BACnet, Modbus, MQTT, OPC UA, LORaWAN, Lab execution systems, REST APIs) into secure, low-latency telemetry pipelines.
Hands-On Execution: Deliver hands-on technical guidance, codescript reviews, proof-of-concept (PoC) builds, and strict validation frameworks for mission-critical deployments.
Advanced IoT & AI Deployment
Precision IoT Hardware: Evaluate, select, and integrate high-precision sensors and gateways for lab environmental tracking, occupancy, asset tracking (equipmentsample monitoring), and spatial safety monitoring.
AI & Predictive Analytics: Implement AIML pipelines for predictive maintenance on lab-critical utilities, automated fault detection and diagnostics (FDD), energy load optimization, and real-time environmental anomaly detection.
Cross-Functional & Vendor Leadership
Lab Ops & Site Services Alignment: Work shoulder-to-shoulder with Lab Operations, Environmental Health & Safety (EHS), and Facilities Management to translate strict scientific operational needs into secure technical architecture.
Vendor & Integrator Governance: Lead technical evaluation, RFPs, and integration efforts with specialized lab control vendors, proptech partners, and system integrators.
IT & OT Cybersecurity: Partner with Corporate IT to implement zero-trust architectures, strict network segmentation between high-risk lab OT environments and office IT networks, and compliance frameworks.
Qualifications & Skills
Core Technical Experience
Education: Bachelor s or Master s degree in Computer Science, ElectricalSystems Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
LabCritical Facilities Expertise: 6+ years of experience designing smart building, IoT, or automation solutions within mission-critical environments (R&D labs, life sciences, pharmaceutical facilities, or cleanrooms).
IoT & Protocols: Deep practical experience with IoT edge gateways, time-series data management, industrial protocol converters, and high-frequency sensor ingestion.
AI & Data Pipelines: Hands-on experience deploying AIML models on time-series telemetry (e.g., predictive analytics for critical lab equipment, automated HVAC load balancing, environmental drift detection).
Programming & Cloud: Proficient in Python, CC++, Node.js, or Go strong experience with cloud platforms (AWS IoT Core, Azure IoT Hub, Google Cloud).
Specialized Knowledge & Soft Skills
Strong understanding of Lab EHS standards, specialized ventilation requirements (ACH, differential pressure), and containment protocols.
Expert knowledge of OTIT security convergence, including network isolation (VLANs, Purdue Model, Zero Trust) for lab safety networks.
Proven ability to collaborate with scientific researchers, facility engineers, enterprise IT directors, and hardware vendors.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with Digital Twins for critical facilities and equipment asset management (e.g., Azure Digital Twins, BIM integrations).
Exposure to GxP GLP environments or scientific data compliance standards.
