Junior Edge Technology Consultant

Microsoft, data & ai, no experience, consultant
Belgium

“The future is not something we enter. The future is something we build.” 

We live in a time where data is no longer just processed in the cloud, it's alive on the factory floor, moving through machines, embedded in sensors, and driving decisions in real time. What used to be static dashboards and delayed insights are now real-time insights, composable systems, and intelligent machines. This is the era where data becomes tangible. Where the impact of technology can be felt, not just measured. 

Edge technology is enabling this transformation, and this is your opportunity to be part of it! 

Edge computing brings intelligence to the shop floor, enabling real-time data analytics, mission-critical applications, and AI-driven optimization exactly where it matters: where products are made, where resources are valuable, and where every second counts. It works hand-in-hand with the Internet of Things (IoT) connecting sensors, machines, and systems to create smarter environments and more responsive operations. It empowers companies to react faster, work smarter, and stay ahead of the curve in a world where speed, agility, and precision make the difference between good and great. 

The operational (OT) and informational (IT) worlds are converging. What used to be clearly layered and separated systems are now becoming interwoven and dynamic. Edge technology is the key enabler, bringing processing power closer to machines and devices, allowing real-time data to flow between operations and IT systems. This seamless interaction unlocks faster responses, smarter automation, and truly connected environments. 

At Edge Technology, we are bridging the digital and physical worlds. You'll work at the nucleus between business, processes, and people resulting in real impact. You’ll turn complex problems into smart, end-to-end solutions which connect the dots between data, AI and people. Learning from industry experts while contributing to cutting-edge innovations that matter. 

What will you be doing?

 

  • Designing and supporting the implementation of edge computing solutions that allow real-time data collection, processing, and analysis closer to devices and machines. 
  • Collaborating with cross-functional teams (IT, OT, business stakeholders) to align solutions with customer needs across various industries. 
  • Contributing to the integration of edge platforms, sensors, data gateways, and data pipelines with cloud or on-premise systems. 
  • Assisting in defining architectures and setting up edge infrastructures that are secure, scalable, and maintainable. 
  • Keeping up to date with emerging technologies in edge computing, industrial IoT, connectivity (e.g., OPC-UA, MQTT), and data streaming. 
  • Translating customer needs into technical requirements and ensuring a seamless user experience through implementation and support
