Salary: £126,000 - 126,000 per year Requirements: We need experience in MES-led Industry 4.0 projects and advanced industrial solutions. We need hands-on innovation experience with emerging technologies such as machine vision, robotics, drones, edge computing, and automation. We need the ability to translate business requirements into high-level, future-state architectures. We need experience working closely with engineers to define how solutions would theoretically operate within existing infrastructure. We need a strong understanding of factory-of-the-future concepts, including 5G-enabled and cyber-physical systems. We prefer British National status and active SC Clearance, though SC Clearance is not mandatory. We value experience within a research programme focused on accelerating new or first-of-kind technologies. We are looking for candidates with a background in solution architecture rather than traditional IT or enterprise architecture. We expect the ability to work remotely with travel to our client location as needed. Responsibilities: We support MES-led Industry 4.0 projects using emerging technologies. We develop high-level, future-state architectures for new and innovative solutions. We translate business requirements into architectural concepts and solution direction.
