Ignition Developer

Ignition Developer

Position Summary

Looking for someone skilled in deploying and crafting SCADA/HMI platforms-specifically using Ignition®-to operate within environments involving PLCs, industrial equipment, and on-site systems. This is a hands-on role that merges automation expertise with collaborative engineering work.

You'll participate across the full lifecycle of industrial projects, from early-stage concepts and interface development through final system commissioning and testing. The work may occasionally require travel or availability for on-call technical support, depending on current project demands.

Primary Functions

• Construct responsive operator dashboards and visualization tools aligned with real-time industrial data
• Develop and implement Ignition-driven solutions tailored to automated control systems
• Link SCADA interfaces to control hardware (e.g., PLCs, databases, sensors, networks)
• Refine, debug, and scale existing Ignition applications to ensure system reliability and performance
• Contribute to customer site commissioning and factory/site acceptance testing (FAT/SAT)
• Collaborate with engineers, technicians, and end users to confirm project expectations are fulfilled
• Produce training materials, conduct handovers, and document platform configuration details

Technical & Professional Background

• 3+ years spent configuring and deploying Ignition® HMI/SCADA environments in automation contexts
• Practical understanding of industrial, not IT-focused, automation systems
• Experience bridging Ignition with common PLC brands (Allen-Bradley, Siemens, etc.)
• Effective at diagnosing and resolving SCADA/control system challenges
• Clear communication and teamwork strengths for navigating customer interactions and task management

Nice to Have / Preferred Credentials

• Academic training in engineering or related technology fields (Associate's or higher welcome)
• Recognized certifications in Ignition (Gold Cert or module-specific like Perspective/Scripting/Reporting)
• Coding capability with Python, SQL, or similar scripting tools
• Familiar with protocols like OPC UA, Ethernet/IP, Modbus
• Prior engagement in FAT/SAT activities and supporting client-facing technical exchanges

Opportunities & Environment

This role brings exposure to a wide variety of disciplines-collaborate with mechanical and project engineering groups, get hands-on with controls integration, and take part in delivering end-to-end automation systems. You'll gain insights into full project cycles from development to deployment.
