Factory 4.0 Database administrator

CONTEXT:

Could your best career choice be one that propels you toward becoming an intrapreneur or entrepreneur in your field of expertise?

Success in industries often relies on key individuals demonstrating intrapreneurial leadership, i.e. who continuously launch new initiatives and seek for excellence.

The best way to develop this strength is through ad interim projects, i.e. work with established intrapreneurs in international companies to support their major expansion or improvement initiatives regarding governance, studies, or operations.

AETHER manages these opportunities in key strategic sectors, as these offer greater learning opportunities with multi-million impacts:

• Public Infrastructures
• Process Manufacturing
• Component & System Technologies

One challenge for component & system technologies operations is that an Industry 4.0 platform incapable of sustaining secure, scalable, and high-performance industrial data flows can directly compromise production traceability, operational continuity, and the long-term reliability of critical aerospace components.
