• 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.
