  • Ability to bridge the gap between IT and OT worlds
  • High architectural rigor combined with a field-oriented approach
  • Alignment with organizational standards and industrial constraints
  • Ability to structure and drive technical decisions across multiple projects

What you do

Role and responsibilities:

  • Define and maintain the target architecture of IT/OT infrastructures
  • Ensure integration between:
  • industrial systems (MES, SCADA, UNS, etc.)
  • IT platforms (cloud, data, applications)
  • Design robust, scalable, and secure architectures across multiple sites

Network and infrastructure design:

  • Define network architecture (LAN/WAN, segmentation, VLAN, flows)
  • Support industrial connectivity (Wi-Fi, edge computing, IoT objects)
  • Produce key deliverables:
  • HLD (High-Level Design)
  • LLD (Low-Level Design)
  • IP plans and network diagrams

Cybersecurity and compliance:

  • Ensure compliance with an organization's cybersecurity standards (MSR, Security by Design)
  • Contribute to:
  • the definition of the security architecture
  • risk analyses in an industrial environment
  • integration with SOC / supervision capabilities

Infrastructures and platforms:

  • Design hybrid environments:
  • On-premise (industrial sites)
  • Cloud (AWS)
  • Integrate key infrastructure components:
  • compute, storage, backup (alignment with an internal program)
  • container platforms (OpenShift)
  • Ensure consistency between different environments

Program and governance contribution:

  • Contribute to several INDUS 4.0 projects:
  • Infra INDUS
  • MES
  • UNS
  • Connected objects (e-Tag)
  • AMR
  • Participate in:
  • architecture reviews (ASB)
  • technical governance instances
  • Align with an organization's Design Authority when necessary

Documentation and standards:

  • Define and maintain architecture standards and best practices
  • Ensure complete documentation across all layers (L1 to L3)
  • Contribute to the industrial IT/OT reference architecture

What they ask Experience:

  • 8 to 15+ years of experience in infrastructure / network / architecture roles
  • Confirmed experience in an industrial environment (OT)
  • Experience in IT/OT convergence is a major asset

Technical skills:

  • Solid expertise in:
  • network architecture (segmentation, security, industrial protocols)
  • infrastructure design (compute, storage, backup)
  • hybrid / cloud environments (AWS preferred)
  • Knowledge of:
  • industrial systems (MES, SCADA, IoT)
  • cybersecurity in industrial contexts
  • container platforms (OpenShift is a plus)

Soft skills:

  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
  • Ability to operate in complex and multi-project environments
  • Structured, pragmatic, and delivery-oriented approach

Languages:

  • Fluent English (C2)
