IIoT Cloud Integration Engineer

POSITION SUMMARY

Sanofi’s Digital Manufacturing & Supply – Solution Engineering & Delivery team builds and operates digital solutions supporting manufacturing, quality, and operations across global industrial sites.

The IIoT ecosystem at Sanofi enables data flow from shopfloor systems to enterprise platforms, powering advanced analytics and AI use cases within a regulated GxP environment.

A skilled IIoT professional is sought to contribute across multiple layers of this end-to-end architecture:
Ignition Edge → Ignition Platform → MQTT → Solace → AWS SiteWise → Grafana → S3(Storage Optimisation)

Key Responsibilities

• Design and support multi-region AWS infrastructure ensuring high availability and scalability across distributed systems
• Enable reliable data ingestion, processing, storage, and visualization across the IIoT landscape
• Maintain stability, performance, and resilience of data pipelines
• Ensure compliance, validation, and audit readiness in line with GxP requirements, with strong focus on data traceability and integrity

This role is critical in ensuring business continuity for mission-critical manufacturing systems and sustaining a robust, compliant IIoT data ecosystem.

RESPONSIBILITIES

SiteWise data modeling & contextualization

• Design and manage AWS SiteWise asset models, hierarchies, and data streams for industrial equipment
• Define standardized data models to enable reusable and scalable deployments across sites.
• Ensure proper tag mapping and contextualization from edge systems (Ignition).
• Configure and manage data ingestion pipelines into SiteWise from Ignition.

Cloud Storage & Data Lifecycle Management

• Configure and optimize data exports from SiteWise to S3, ensuring structured, efficient, and reusable data organization (partitioning, formats, compression).

• Define and implement data lifecycle policies in S3, including retention, archival, and deletion strategies.
• Implement secure storage practices using encryption, access control (IAM), and audit logging mechanisms.
• Design and maintain storage solutions for high availability and multi-region deployments, including cross-region replication and disaster recovery strategies.
• Optimize storage for performance and cost efficiency, leveraging appropriate S3 storage classes and data access patterns.
• Monitor and troubleshoot data storage pipelines, addressing issues related to ingestion delays, missing data, or inconsistencies.

Grafana visualization & analytics

• Design, develop, and maintain Grafana dashboards for visualization of IIoT data from AWS SiteWise.
• Implement standardized and reusabledashboard templates to enable consistent visualization across sites and regions.
• Configure role-based access control and secure data access.
• Monitor and troubleshoot issues related to data latency.

Multi-Region AWS Infrastructure

• Design, implement, and manage multi-region AWS infrastructure to support high availability, scalability, and disaster recovery for global IIoT platforms.
• Architect and maintain cross-region deployment strategies.
• Implement data replication and synchronization mechanisms across regions.
• Monitor and optimize cross-region performance, latency, and cost.
• Ensure security, compliance, and governance controls are consistently applied.

Ignition Platform Configuration & Data Contextualization (Optional)

• Configure and manage Ignition (Inductive Automation) gateways and projects, including tag structures, UDTs (User Defined Types), and device connections.
• Design and implement standardized data models and tag hierarchies, enabling scalable and reusable configurations across sites.
• Perform data contextualization, mapping raw signals from PLC/SCADA systems into meaningful asset models and business-relevant data structures.
• Troubleshoot issues related to tag communication, data inconsistencies, gateway performance, and integration failures.
