Are you a passionate data engineer specializing in IoT edge computing and ready to transform raw sensor data into ML-ready streams? Robert Half Technology is excited to partner with a fast-growing, innovative SaaS company disrupting the industry with real-time AI and analytics. This direct hire FTE role offers a hybrid schedule in Pittsburgh, PA, and we're conducting interviews now with offers starting in January. If you have hands-on experience with edge devices like NVIDIA Jetson, MQTT protocols, and building device-to-cloud pipelines, apply today through Carrie Danger, SVP Permanent Placement at Robert Half.

About the Role

As an IoT Edge AI Data Engineer, you'll architect next-generation edge-to-cloud data pipelines for sensor-driven platforms. This isn't your typical data engineering position—it's focused on edge IoT data engineering, extracting data from disparate, complex sources on edge devices. Work with cutting-edge hardware, optimize on-prem systems, and ensure seamless integration with cloud services like AWS, Azure, or GCP. Ideal for F1/OPT candidates with the right skills, this role demands expertise in high-volume ingestion, real-time processing, and preparing data for AI/ML teams. Located in vibrant Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States, enjoy a hybrid model blending innovation with work-life balance.

Key Responsibilities

Drive the core of IoT innovation with these critical duties:

• Design and implement high-volume data ingestion pipelines spanning IoT devices, on-prem infrastructure, and cloud platforms using tools like Kinesis and Kafka.
• Develop edge computing solutions on NVIDIA Jetson for near-real-time data processing, orchestration, and distribution.
• Build frameworks to clean, validate, and prepare sensor, telemetry, and machine data for ML engineering.
• Architect reliable edge-to-cloud connectivity and workflows, optimizing for scalability and resilience.
• Leverage MQTT, telemetry protocols, and Python/C++ for hardware/software integration.
• Handle data cleansing and ingestion from edge devices, tackling complex, disparate sources.
