  • Integrate applications with industrial and enterprise systems including, SQL databases, SAP, Sharepoint, Active Directory
  • OPC and historian data sources (Kepware, Canary, etc.), REST APIs
  • Design efficient data models and queries optimized for real-time operational use
  • Work directly with operations, engineers, IT, business stakeholders, and business analysts to translate manufacturing workflows into digital solutions
  • Design interfaces and workflows optimized for industrial users operating in high-tempo production environments
  • Help develop and extend dev team standards and tools to improve team performance
  • Implement robust error handling, logging, and diagnostics
  • Ensure solutions meet performance, security, reliability, and compliance requirements
  • Produce clear technical documentation and solution architecture diagrams
Your Skills and Experience
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field
  • We are looking 5 -7 Years  of practical Ignition experience including custom development and integration services.
  • Equivalent practical experience will be considered
  • Familiarity with concepts such as MES, SCADA, HMI, OPC, historians, or IioT.
  • Strong experience with web UI development concepts , HTML5,CSS , JavaScript, Responsive design and modern UI patterns
  • Proficiency in Python scripting for application logic and automation
  • Solid experience working with SQL databases and relational data models
  • Experience integrating external systems using REST APIs or web services
  • Ability to design maintainable, modular software - not just single-purpose screens
  • Experience with manufacturing, industrial automation, or operational systems
  • Ability to understand production workflows, machine data, and real-time operational constraints.
