Manufacturing Systems Integration Contract Engineer

Imagine stepping onto the plant floor of a cutting-edge, on-demand autonomous vehicle revolution. This isn't your standard manufacturing maintenance gig-this is your opportunity to serve as the master integrator behind the scenes, bridging the gap between automation hardware, cloud-level software, and massive data pipelines.

As a consultant through COMRISE, you will directly influence the zero-to-one scaling of advanced production lines in the Silicon Valley. If you get a thrill out of coding an elegant Ignition screen, watching a complex database query execute flawlessly, and seeing a robotic line instantly react to your code in real time-all while banking a premier hourly rate-this is the contract you've been waiting for.

Your Impact & Daily Rhythm

You won't just be sitting behind a desk; you will be the go-to technical partner for process, software, and automation engineers across multiple Bay Area facilities.

• The SCADA Architect: You will design, build, and maintain high-performance SCADA solutions utilizing the Inductive Automation Ignition platform, pushing the limits of both Vision and Perspective modules.
• The System Unifier: You will bridge shop-floor hardware to enterprise data, connecting Ignition platforms to PLCs via Kepware OPC UA servers and feeding critical tracking data straight into SAP ME/MII systems.
• The Line Hero: You will deliver high-signal, hands-on troubleshooting right where the action happens, developing custom Python or Java tools to boost line reliability, optimize uptime, and clear out technical bottlenecks.
• The Web Integration Specialist: You will script complex database queries and configure web service calls to sync custom engineering tools seamlessly with plant infrastructure.
