Digital Manufacturing Engineer

Location This is a Remote Role, Ability to travel 25% to client site in VA.About the job you're considering We are building modern, highly customized digital applications on top of the Ignition platform to support complex discrete manufacturing operations. This is a hybrid industrial software engineering role, combining hands-on experience with SCADA and industrial data systems with strong modern software development fundamentals. Candidates should be comfortable working with live plant-floor data through OPC, Kepware, tags, and historians, while also building robust, maintainable web-based applications. You will use Ignition as the application platform — integrating real-time and historical data and extending Perspective with Python scripting, JavaScript, CSS, SQL, and APIs to create scalable desktop and mobile manufacturing solutions. This is also a highly field- and customer-facing role. During site visits, you will work independently throughout the customer facility with operators, trades, engineers, supervisors and managers to understand equipment and workflows, determine what data is needed and how to acquire it, and translate those needs into useful solutions. Success requires strong communication, maturity, emotional intelligence, and the ability to build trust across a diverse user community while representing our company professionally. Hands-on industrial data experience is required, with Ignition, Kepware, and Canary experience preferred. This is not primarily a PLC programming or traditional HMI configuration role; we are looking for engineers who can bridge OT systems, industrial data, modern application development and the people who use those systems.
