Indian multinational conglomerate in engineering, construction, manufacturing, IT services, defence and infrastructure.
This role will work with the LTTS team and our major aerospace customer to integrate industrial data systems and support smart factory initiatives. This role focuses on building reliable data pipelines and visualizations across complex production and inspection processes using Kepware and Ignition SCADA platforms
Troubleshoot, maintain, and continuously improve live systems supporting production-critical operations.
Ensure all Ignition/Kepware deployments follow AS9100 and cybersecurity compliance standards (NIST 800-171, ISA/IEC 62443, etc.).
Collaborate with Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, and IT to understand use cases and deliver scalable dashboards, alerts, and reports.
Identify and implement opportunities for continuous improvement.
Integrate real-time operational data into MES, ERP, and Quality systems to enable digital traceability and compliance with aerospace standards.
Support machine connectivity projects for CNCs, CMMs, test rigs, and legacy aerospace manufacturing equipment.
Configure industrial protocols including OPC UA/DA, Modbus TCP, Ethernet/IP, and others common in aerospace automation environments.
Document system architecture, tag hierarchies, data mapping, and change management procedures.
Develop Ignition SCADA applications to visualize machine health, production status, part genealogy, and inspection data across assembly lines and test stations.
Design, implement, and support data connectivity solutions using Kepware KEPServerEX, enabling communication between aerospace equipment, sensors, PLCs, and enterprise systems.
5+ years of experience in Kepware (KEPServerEX) configuration and Ignition SCADA application development, preferably in aerospace or regulated manufacturing.
This is an on-site position and will require working in our customers' facilities located in Columbus, GA.
Understanding of digital thread, smart manufacturing, and real-time data applications in aerospace environments.
Familiarity with CNC and inspection equipment typically used in aerospace manufacturing (e.g., Mazak, Okuma, Zeiss CMM, etc.).
Familiarity with MQTT Sparkplug B, Edge devices, and IIoT data architectures.
Solid knowledge of industrial protocols and PLC integration (Rockwell, Siemens, Fanuc, etc.).
Excellent written and communication skills.
Working knowledge of industrial cybersecurity and segmented OT/IT networks
Ignition Certified Developer or experience with Gold Tier integrator projects.
Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail.
Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite or similar software.
Experience interfacing with AS9102 FAI, SPC, or quality reporting systems.
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Industrial Automation, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
Experience working with SQL databases and Python scripting within Ignition.
Demonstrated ability to work cross-functionally in a team environment.
Background in connecting legacy aerospace machines through retrofit or gateway solutions.
The successful candidate will be an expert in engineering-related measurements and practices. The successful candidate will have a diverse skillset and leverage capabilities to directly support digital transformation, real-time decision-making, and factory floor connectivity across critical aerospace components/assemblies, and maintain standard work documents.
Ability to work with minimum supervision
Prior work supporting aerospace-specific compliance requirements and audits (NADCAP, AS9100, etc.).
