What Flexware Does

Flexware Innovation is the go-to engineering firm for forward-thinking manufacturers that need to integrate their business and production systems to maximize their resources.

Founded in 1996, our highly-skilled teams of dedicated professionals work side-by-side with customers to leverage technology to solve real business problems by providing best-in-class software development, automation engineering, manufacturing systems integration (MES, HMI/SCADA, & ERP), business intelligence solutions, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and specialized product development.

But we’re not just invested in technology – we’re also invested in people. Our internal promise to our Flexdogs is to have a positive and lasting impact on our families by providing a healthy and engaging work environment. Our environment is fun, family-friendly, energetic, and was nominated for TechPoint’s Mira Award for “Company Culture of the Year” in 2017, four Powderkeg awards in 2019, and 5 Powderkeg awards in 2022.

What You Will Do

Flexware is looking for a talented Ignition developer to join our team. You will have the opportunity to work as a trusted advisor to our clients and will be challenged to come up with innovative and long-lasting solutions. One day, you could be building out Ignition as an MES solution for a discrete manufacturer, and the next, you could be integrating the platform with AGVs and plant systems in a pharma environment. Listed below are some of the technologies and job responsibilities that will fall under this position:

• Design and develop HMI, MES, and SCADA systems built around the Ignition platform using SQL, Python, JavaScript, and other languages and technologies.
• Design and develop within multiple technologies, including but not limited to:
• Data historians (OSI PI, Rockwell FactoryTalk Historian, etc.)
• Databases (SQL Server, Oracle, etc.)
• Custom applications (C#, .NET, etc.)
• Develop and configure interfaces with third-party software tools such as OPC servers
• Provide detailed documentation to clients on system design and programming
  
  

Flexware is looking for an individual that is willing to step in where necessary. We are looking for someone that is not afraid to get their hands dirty and be of service to others.
