Data Engineer Two Jobs in Georgia (NOW HIRING)

Honeywell is accelerating its transformation from industrial automation to full autonomy and the data that powers that future starts here. As a Lead Data Engineer on our Industrial AI & Data Platforms team, you will architect and own the data foundations that enable physical AI at scale: from terabytes of IoT sensor telemetry streaming through our medallion lakehouse to production-grade Generative AI pipelines that deliver actionable intelligence across Honeywell's global industrial operations.
You will serve as a technical anchor for a team of engineers, shaping architecture decisions, building cutting edge AI solutions, raising engineering standards, and directly building the AI-ready data products that Honeywell's autonomy mission depends on. This role sits at the intersection of modern data engineering and applied GenAI, if you are energized by building systems that have real-world industrial impact, this is your role.
You will report directly to our Sr. Data Engineering Manager and you'll work out of our Atlanta, GA location on a Hybrid work schedule.
Hybrid Work Schedule Note: For the first 90 days, New Hires must be prepared to work 100% onsite M-F
Responsibilities
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Architecture & Technical Leadership

• Design and optimize real-time ingestion pipelines from Azure Event Hub and Apache Kafka for high-volume industrial IoT telemetry.
• Build fault-tolerant, idempotent streaming architectures handling schema evolution, backpressure, and latency SLAs.
• Lead architecture reviews, set engineering standards, and drive decisions on data modeling, pipeline design, and platform evolution.
• Define technical direction for AI-ready data products including vector stores, embedding pipelines, and RAG-ready structured/unstructured data.
• Adopt emerging LLM orchestration frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph) to accelerate GenAI platform capabilities.

GenAI & AI Pipeline Development

• Build production GenAI pipelines- RAG workflows, document ingestion, PII anonymization and vector database infrastructure.
• Collaborate with data scientists and AI engineers to deliver high-quality, AI-ready datasets that improve downstream model performance.

DevOps, Security & Governance

• Enforce data governance, access control, and security policies; lead PII detection and anonymization strategies across the data platform.
• Champion CI/CD practices using GitHub Actions, DAB, Octopus, and Bamboo for automated, reliable pipeline delivery.
• Ensure compliance with enterprise security standards within the SDLC.

Team Development & Stakeholder Engagement

• Mentor engineers across seniority levels through code reviews, pairing, and technical coaching.
• Translate business and AI product requirements into clear technical roadmaps and execution plans.
• Partner with data scientists, product owners, and architects to align data investments with Honeywell's autonomy strategy.
