BW Design Group
Overview
Platform Engineer role at BW Design Group. You will join one of our 45 offices in the US, be part of a committed team of professionals, and work with our clients on projects that shape the world around us. You will be welcomed into a growing business and empowered to make an impact, supported by leaders committed to your success and fulfillment. What You’ll Do
Assist in containerizing industrial applications (e.g., Ignition by Inductive Automation) using Docker, ensuring compatibility with production manufacturing workloads. Develop and maintain Kubernetes configurations, including manifests, Helm charts, operators, and ArgoCD application sets, to support automated, GitOps-driven deployments. Collaborate with DevOps and development teams to integrate CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions) with Kubernetes for seamless project delivery. Support the implementation of advanced Kubernetes features like auto-scaling, rollouts (e.g., via Kargo or similar tools), and high-availability setups. Contribute to troubleshooting and optimizing Kubernetes clusters (cloud or on-prem) for performance, security, and cost efficiency. Work with SCADA/MES engineers to translate application requirements into containerized, Kubernetes-native solutions, ensuring alignment with client needs. Contribute to developing firm-wide standards and procedures for developing client-owned production containerized applications. Represent the company positively, aligning with our culture and Guiding Principles of Leadership. What You’ll Bring
6+ years of direct DevOps or cloud solutions architecture experience. 3-5+ years of experience with Kubernetes specifically in production environments, ideally with stateful or complex applications (relevant project experience counts). Hands-on experience building and optimizing Docker containers for production workloads. Proficiency in writing Kubernetes YAML manifests, Helm charts, or Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs). Familiarity with GitOps tools like ArgoCD (or FluxCD) for automated deployments. Strong scripting skills in Bash, Python, or Go for automation tasks. Basic understanding of CI/CD pipelines and their integration with Kubernetes (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions). Knowledge of Kubernetes networking, storage, and security concepts (e.g., services, ingresses, PVs/PVCs, RBAC). Willingness to learn industrial automation platforms (e.g., Ignition, FactoryTalk, Wonderware) and apply Kubernetes expertise to manufacturing use cases. Experience in manufacturing environments is a plus but not required. Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS EKS, Azure AKS, Google GKE) or on-prem Kubernetes (e.g., OpenShift, K3s) is a bonus. Exposure to monitoring tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana) or Java-based development (e.g., for Ignition modules) is a plus. Good communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with colleagues, clients, and vendors. Personal ownership over success in developing industry standards and enterprise direction in containerized industrial applications. Willing and able to travel as needed for project requirements, including installations, client meetings, or industry events (travel will be supported). Certified Kubernetes Administrator or Certified Kubernetes Application Developer credentials are preferred. Minimum B.S. in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field is preferred. Consideration will be given to degrees in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing, or related fields with relevant technical experience or coursework in Kubernetes/containerization.
