Title
Kepware & Ignition Specialist
Legal Entity
Location: East Hartford, Connecticut
Office Location
East Hartford, Connecticut
Employment Type
Job Description & Skill Requirement:

This position is for an experienced Kepware & Ignition Specialist role to join a growing aerospace team with L&T Technology Services (LTTS). As an important part of the Manufacturing team here at LTTS, you will actively be providing critical value to our customers by helping to ensure high quality and accurate data is made available to the customers' Operational Excellence team to meet operational goals.

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

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.

This is an hybrid position and will require working in our customers' facilities located in East Hartford, CT with some potential for work from home.

Duties/Responsibilities
Design, implement, and support data connectivity solutions using Kepware KEPServerEX, enabling communication between aerospace equipment, sensors, PLCs, and enterprise systems.
Develop Ignition SCADA applications to visualize machine health, production status, part genealogy, and inspection data across assembly lines and test stations.
Integrate real-time operational data into MES, ERP, and Quality systems to enable digital traceability and compliance with aerospace standards.
Configure industrial protocols including OPC UA/DA, Modbus TCP, Ethernet/IP, and others common in aerospace automation environments.
Collaborate with Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, and IT to understand use cases and deliver scalable dashboards, alerts, and reports.
Support machine connectivity projects for CNCs, CMMs, test rigs, and legacy aerospace manufacturing equipment.
Ensure all Ignition/Kepware deployments follow AS9100 and cybersecurity compliance standards (NIST 800-171, ISA/IEC 62443, etc.).
Document system architecture, tag hierarchies, data mapping, and change management procedures.
Troubleshoot, maintain, and continuously improve live systems supporting production-critical operations.
Identify and implement opportunities for continuous improvement.

Required Skills/Abilities:

Solid knowledge of industrial protocols and PLC integration (Rockwell, Siemens, Fanuc, etc.).
Experience working with SQL databases and Python scripting within Ignition.
Familiarity with CNC and inspection equipment typically used in aerospace manufacturing (e.g., Mazak, Okuma, Zeiss CMM, etc.).
Understanding of digital thread, smart manufacturing, and real-time data applications in aerospace environments.
Working knowledge of industrial cybersecurity and segmented OT/IT networks
Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail.
Excellent written and communication skills.
Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite or similar software.
Demonstrated ability to work cross-functionally in a team environment.
Ability to work with minimum supervision

Preferred Qualifications:

Ignition Certified Developer or experience with Gold Tier integrator projects.
Familiarity with MQTT Sparkplug B, Edge devices, and IIoT data architectures.
Experience interfacing with AS9102 FAI, SPC, or quality reporting systems.
Prior work supporting aerospace-specific compliance requirements and audits (NADCAP, AS9100, etc.).
Background in connecting legacy aerospace machines through retrofit or gateway solutions.
