· Support design validation to ensure proposed solutions are fit for manufacturing and OT Security requirements

· Review OT network, infrastructure, connectivity, and system impacts related to Edge Cloud deployment activities

· Support site readiness, cutover planning, migration activities, and issue resolution

· Ensure technical alignment with operational constraints, production sensitivity, and local support requirements

· Contribute to risk assessments, technical issue management, and remediation planning

· Support documentation, testing evidence, technical governance, and handover to support teams

· Provide practical site-facing guidance during rollout and implementation

Good to have:

· Pharma / Life Sciences experience
