Role Summary :

RedRaven is Flowserve's complete end-to-end solution for the industrial space to monitor and optimize flow control equipment performance and proactively identify and address issues before they cause downtime and disruptions.

We are looking for a Senior IoT Engineer with deep expertise in PTC ThingWorx and the surrounding IoT ecosystem (Azure, MQTT, databases, and data historians). The candidate will architect, develop, and optimize ThingWorx-based IoT solutions for device connectivity, real-time analytics, visualization, and system integration.

This role also requires hands-on experience in developing custom ThingWorx Java Extensions and strong problem-solving skills in distributed, data-heavy environments.

Responsibilities :

ThingWorx Platform Development

• Design and develop complex ThingWorx services, DataShapes, ThingTemplates, and Mashups for large-scale industrial IoT solutions.

• Implement scalable logic for data ingestion, transformation, visualization, and event-based analytics.

• Optimize ThingWorx services for performance, memory usage, and large InfoTable handling.

• Configure and manage Value Streams, Data Tables, and persistence providers (PostgreSQL, InfluxDB, etc.).

• Build dynamic UI dashboards and KPI visualizations aligned with asset hierarchies and customer-specific contexts.

Custom Extension Development (Java SDK)

• Develop ThingWorx Java Extensions using the ThingWorx SDK for custom functionalities beyond platform capabilities.

• Implement reusable Java-based services, event handlers, or connectivity modules.

• Manage extension lifecycle: design, build, sign, package, and deploy via the ThingWorx Composer.

• Integrate with external systems (e.g., MQTT, Kafka, RabbitMQ, PI Web API, REST, SOAP) through secure and performant extension code.

• Follow best practices for logging, exception handling, threading, and resource management in extensions.

Integration & Data Handling

• Work with Azure IoT Hub/Event Hub, RabbitMQ, or MQTT brokers for large-scale device communication.

• Design and implement data pipelines between ThingWorx, external databases (Postgres, InfluxDB), and cloud storage systems.

• Integrate time-series historians (e.g., OSI PI Web API, AVEVA Historian, etc.) for historical and batch analytics.

• Implement efficient batch APIs, JSON parsing, and bulk processing mechanisms

Architecture & System Design

• Define and document ThingWorx architecture, entity design standards, and naming conventions.

• Evaluate and improve scalability, security, and maintainability of IoT deployments.

• Collaborate with IT teams for infrastructure activities.

• Support CI/CD integration, version control (Git), and automated deployments for ThingWorx artifacts.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electronics, or related engineering field.

Preferred Experience / Skills :

• Strong problem-solving and debugging mindset for complex multi-system IoT issues.
• Excellent documentation, design, and communication skills.
• Ownership-driven attitude with a focus on scalable and sustainable design.
• Experience vibration monitoring systems.
• Exposure to Edge device integration (LoRaWAN, Modbus, OPC-UA, etc.).
• Knowledge of Docker-based ThingWorx deployments or Kubernetes.
