Support the implementation of advanced Kubernetes features such as auto‑scaling, rollouts, and high‑availability setups.
Contribute to troubleshooting and optimizing Kubernetes clusters (cloud or on‑prem) for performance, security, and cost efficiency.
Work with SCADA/MES engineers to translate application requirements into containerized, Kubernetes‑native solutions, ensuring alignment with client needs.

Basic understanding of CI/CD pipelines and their integration with Kubernetes.
Knowledge of Kubernetes networking, storage, and security concepts.
Willingness to learn industrial automation platforms (e.g., Ignition, FactoryTalk, Wonderware).
Experience in manufacturing environments is a plus.
Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS EKS, Azure AKS, GKE) or on‑prem Kubernetes is a bonus.
Exposure to monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana) or Java‑based development is a plus.
Good communication and interpersonal skills.
Personal ownership of success in developing industry standards and enterprise direction in containerized industrial applications.
Willingness to travel as needed for project requirements.
