Industrial Platform Engineer

Your Job

As an Industrial Manufacturing Platform Engineer, you will build and operate the software platform capabilities that enable Georgia-Pacific's Connected Worker and Industry 4.0 initiatives.

You'll help bring "smart factory" concepts to life by creating reliable, reusable services that connect manufacturing data to modern applications used by frontline teams and operational leaders.

You'll partner directly with manufacturing teams to translate operational problems into scalable solutions that can be deployed across operations.

This role is for someone who can connect how factories run with how modern software is built-turning operational needs into reliable, reusable platform services and intuitive frontline experiences.

Location: Atlanta, GA Onsite Three Days Per Week.

This position is not eligible for visa sponsorship.

Our Team

The Connected Worker team delivers Industry 4.0 capabilities through persona-based frontline applications that improve safety, quality, reliability, and productivity in our mills and converting facilities.

Our focus is building and scaling connected worker solutions-digital tools that help operators, technicians, and leaders execute standard work consistently and make better decisions in the moment.

These applications are designed around distinct frontline personas and real plant conditions, providing the right workflow, data, and context at the point of work.

We work closely with operations leaders and cross-functional technology partners to ensure solutions integrate with core manufacturing systems and align with GP's broader smart factory roadmap-moving beyond pilots to sustainable, repeatable capabilities deployed across our global network.
