Senior OT Data Engineer at Valar Atomics | LAYIQ

You treat timestamps/quality/lineage/context as engineering data, not optional metadata.
You can trace a bad value from the source interface through transport/transformation/storage/query/visualization and identify where it changed.
You design data systems that remain decoupled from process control and cannot create a dependency on external/less-trusted systems.
You can balance throughput/latency/retention/recovery/security without building unnecessary complexity.
You test backup/restore/replay/failover/data-loss behavior and quantify limitations instead of assuming the platform is reliable.
You create clear data contracts/models/diagrams/runbooks that other engineers can implement and operate.
You take complete ownership before a mature data platform/team exists and can lead vendors without outsourcing technical judgment.
You are willing to travel frequently and maintain a strong field presence during construction, commissioning, startup, outages, and incidents.
