Business Analyst - IoT

Role overview

We are hiring an experienced Business Analyst (m/f/d) for a client project in the industrial automation space. The organization builds advanced Remote Recovery and Remote Health IoT solutions that improve the reliability, security, and intelligence of critical infrastructure.

This position is a full-time role with immediate start. The setup is predominantly remote, with flexible on-site presence in Düsseldorf when needed. Depending on project scope, the team typically includes one to two business analysts.

What you will do

You will own solution design and delivery from end to end, acting as a reliable partner for business stakeholders, product owners, architects, and senior engineers across complex cross-functional programs.

For Remote Recovery, the work involves enabling remote control and restart capabilities as well as supporting remote rescue operations. The solution is fully integrated into existing platforms and must satisfy all applicable safety requirements. Your focus will include requirements management, solution design, and coordination of rollouts across several countries.

For Remote Health IoT, the solution uses live controller data to track equipment condition and system performance. Implementation must account for local legal and regulatory obligations. In this stream too, you will handle requirements, shape the solution, and support international rollout execution.
