To excel as an Ignition Developer, you need strong expertise in SCADA/HMI development, industrial automation, and programming skills (such as Python or SQL), typically supported by an engineering or computer science degree. Familiarity with Inductive Automation's Ignition platform, OPC servers, PLC integration, and relevant platform certifications are highly valuable. Effective teamwork, problem-solving, and clear communication skills distinguish top performers in this field. Mastering both technical and soft skills enables smooth project delivery, operational reliability, and efficient collaboration with engineers and plant operators.
Ignition Developers generally spend their days designing, developing, and maintaining SCADA/HMI systems using the Ignition platform for industrial automation projects. They work closely with control engineers, process engineers, and IT teams to integrate data sources, configure user interfaces, and troubleshoot system issues. Regular responsibilities often include scripting automation logic, developing reports and dashboards, performing system updates, and responding to user feedback. This collaboration-focused environment allows Ignition Developers to impact plant operations directly while continuously improving their technical and communication skills.
An Ignition Developer specializes in designing, developing, and maintaining industrial applications using Inductive Automation's Ignition platform. They work with SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems, HMIs (Human-Machine Interfaces), and IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) solutions to optimize industrial processes. Their responsibilities include scripting in Python, configuring databases, integrating PLCs, and creating user-friendly dashboards. Ignition Developers play a key role in improving efficiency, monitoring real-time data, and ensuring seamless operation of industrial automation systems.

Job Description SCADA Engineer (Ignition) Location: San Antonio Employment Type: Full-Time Relocation Assistance: Available Overview An established oil & gas operator is seeking a SCADA Engineer (Ignition) to join its team in San Antonio. This role is centered on application development, platform support, and long-term ownership of the Ignition environment.
