IIoT Technical Lead And Developer

What You Will Do

Architecture & Design

• Design Ignition architectures (Gateway redundancy, distributed/multi-site, edgedeployments).
• Defining tag models, historian strategy, alarming, reporting, and data flows.
• Develop integration patterns with Kepware, OPC UA, MQTT (Sparkplug B), databases(SQL Server, Postgres, MySQL), and Azure services.
• Define hybrid patterns and coexistence strategies with ThingWorx where applicable.

Data Model and Migration

• Understand Ignition Data model and able to interpret Legacy (Asdaex) SCADA solutionand migrate into Ignition.

Implementation Leadership

• Guide teams on Perspective/Vision, Tag Historian, Alarm Pipelines, SSO/Identity, and scripting (Py thon/Jython).
• Establish reusable templates, components, and standards for multi-plant rollouts.
• OT/IT Convergence
• Collaborate with automation engineers integrating PLCs/DCS (Siemens, Rockwell,Mitsubishi, Beck hoff, etc.).
• Partner with enterprise IT, cybersecurity, and network teams to ensure secure and reliable connectivity to the cloud.

Governance & Standards

• Author and maintain reference architectures, naming conventions, developmentguidelines, and security baselines.
• Contribute to estimation, SoW inputs, and solution guardrails for partners and vendors.
