What You'll Do: 

• Design and build data ingestion pipelines from BMS, SCADA, HVAC controllers, environmental sensors, and utility metering systems into AWS IoT SiteWise and the shared data lake 

• Configure AWS IoT SiteWise asset models that mirror the physical facility hierarchy (site ? building ? system ? component ? measurement) 

• Architect and maintain the shared data lake schema on S3 + Lake Formation + Glue Catalog; coordinate schema changes across the joint team 

• Configure Amazon Timestream for hot time-series storage with appropriate retention tiers (memory store and magnetic store) 

• Implement data quality frameworks: completeness checks, anomaly detection, cadence validation, alerting via CloudWatch and SNS 

• Build and document AWS IoT Greengrass v2 component integrations with source systems via BACnet (IP and MS/TP), Modbus (TCP and RTU), OPC-UA, SNMP, REST APIs, and MQTT (with mTLS authentication via X.509 device certificates) 

• Optimize query performance and partitioning strategies for time-series facility data in Timestream and Athena (over S3) 

• Support the Simulation Engineer's data feed requirements and HVAC automation event logging for the VBAS POC 

• Operate the production data lake at fleet scale, monitor pipeline health, manage schema governance 

• Produce data flow diagrams, schema documentation, and data dictionary for handoff and post-handoff operations
