This is a fully remote role based anywhere in the United States.

We are building modern, highly customized digital applications on top of the Ignition platform to support complex discrete manufacturing operations at a heavy industry. This role is not a traditional HMI or panel‐screen configuration position. We are looking for engineers who bring strong web development fundamentals, software engineering discipline, and an interest in applying those skills to real‑time industrial systems. You will use Ignition as the application platform — extending it with Python scripting, JavaScript, CSS, SQL, and API integrations to create scalable, production‑grade digital manufacturing solutions.

Prior Ignition (or similar) experience is very helpful. Candidates with strong software and web foundations who can learn industrial platforms quickly are strongly encouraged to apply.

• Design and develop responsive industrial web applications using Ignition Perspective and supporting web technologies
• Extend Ignition’s out‑of‑the‑box components using JavaScript, CSS, and Python scripting to meet complex business and operational requirements
• Build modular, maintainable application architectures that support long‑term scalability and reuse
• 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

• 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.
