About the role

  • Data Engineering Director driving AI and Autonomous solutions through Honeywell Forge Data Platform. Shaping data strategy and executing data architecture in a hands-on leadership role.

Responsibilities

  • Define and own the Honeywell connected data engineering strategy, reference architecture for AI-ready data, including cloud platform, data-as-a-service, and automation-first delivery model. Develop and communicate the enterprise data strategy and roadmap, ensuring alignment product requirements, and innovating for data as a service.
  • Lead architectural decisions for Honeywell Forge Data Lake comprising IT and OT data, CDC, and integration with multiple source systems; handle reuse, performance, cost efficiency, and time-to-market.
  • Architect, implement, and operate hybrid and cloud-native data platforms with heavy automation.
  • Establish trusted domains focusing on security, governance, and reuse across business lines. Lead the design and delivery of reusable, trusted data as a service with clear SLAs, documentation, versioning, and APIs; enforce data contracts for product requirements.
  • Enable secure, governed data sharing and monetization.
  • Provide platform services and reusable capabilities for data science and AI: feature store, model-ready curated layers, governed sandboxes, MLOps integration, and model/data lineage.
  • Embed data governance within pipelines: lineage capture, data classification, role-based and attribute-based access, fine-grained controls, and consent management.
  • Implement data quality by design: thresholding, anomaly detection, reconciliation, and data SLAs enforced in CI/CD and runtime with automated quarantine/retry/escalation.
  • Support build-vs-buy decisions, licensing, cloud spend, and vendor relationships. Scale teams and partners globally while building strong relationships with executives, technical teams, vendors, and business partners to understand needs, influence strategy, and promote best practices.
