The Enterprise Data Architect, Lead plays a crucial role in designing, implementing, and maintaining data integration solutions within our organization. This role collaborates with customers and cross-functional teams to ensure seamless data pipelines from customers systems. The expertise for this role will contribute to the organization's overall strategy and architecture for data acquisition.

Job Duties - Source System Extraction (This Is the Core of the Role)

- Independently extract data from industrial source systems including OSIsoft PI historians, SAP PM/EAM, Maximo, eMaint, lab/LIMS systems, and other CMMS/ERP platforms.
- Navigate customer IT environments to establish connectivity — VPNs, service accounts, firewall rules, read-only database access — often with limited or no documentation.
- Reverse-engineer undocumented or poorly documented source schemas to identify the right data for integration.
- Build and own the extraction layer: connectors, API calls, direct database queries, file-based ingestion from heterogeneous client environments.
- Handle the reality that every customer's data is messy in a different way — inconsistent tag naming, mismatched equipment IDs, unmaintained asset hierarchies.
- Data Transformation and Pipeline Development
- Design, build, and maintain data pipelines that clean, transform, and load extracted data into our reliability platform.
- Develop integration architecture and blueprints tailored to each customer's source system landscape.
- Implement data quality checks, reconciliation processes, and monitoring to ensure ongoing accuracy.
- Build and maintain master data mapping strategies — including change management processes as clients execute MOCs, add equipment, or decommission assets.
- Own pipeline monitoring, alerting, and uptime SLAs for all production data extraction and integration systems. These are live production pipelines serving customers — when extraction fails, you are responsible for detecting the failure, diagnosing the root cause, and restoring the data flow within SLA.
- Client Communication and Technical Leadership
- Serve as the primary technical point of contact with customer IT teams for all data access and connectivity matters.




- Respond to detailed technical inquiries from client IT leadership (architecture questions, data mapping strategies, security concerns) with clarity and confidence.
- Lead discovery sessions with customers to understand their source systems, data flows, and integration requirements.
- Create and maintain architecture documentation, integration runbooks, and data dictionaries for each client engagement.
- Provide technical guidance and mentorship to team members and drive knowledge sharing across the data engineering team.
- Manage integration project plans, timelines, and deliverables across multiple concurrent client engagements. Drive accountability on milestones, coordinate dependencies with client IT teams, and ensure integrations are completed on schedule.
- Strategy and Team Building
- Lead the enterprise data integration strategy and platform architecture across the organization.
- Provide new ideas and approaches to the CTO and enterprise architecture team on data acquisition and integration best practices.
- Drive recruitment to build and grow a high-performing data engineering team.
- Continuously evaluate and adopt emerging data technologies and practices. Accountabilities/Results/Success for this role - Successful design and deployment of scalable and secure data architectures and data pipelines.
- Enhanced data quality, efficiency, and accessibility across the organization.
- Effective execution of data integration projects, demonstrating strong project management skills and consistent delivery on time and within scope.
- Continuous improvement and adoption of emerging data technologies and practices.
- Creation of innovative, customer-focused data solutions that set the organization apart and add measurable value.
