Contract Senior Industrial Software Engineer (Digital Twin & Data Systems) - Remote

Overview

Uniloy is building a high-fidelity digital twin and analytics platform for industrial blow-molding and related plastics machinery. This position will be driving software design and implementation across connectivity (OPC UA, CIP/EtherNet/IP), data engineering, visualization (WPF today; exploring Blazor), and light field support. This role blends modern software practices with deep machinery know-how.

In Short

• Extend our .NET application (WPF today; evaluate/plan a migration path to Blazor for web-first delivery).
• Implement simulation models, device abstractions, and UI/UX for user views and diagnostics.
• Integrate PLCs via OPC UA using standard .NET stacks (OPC Foundation .NET Standard).
• Build and/or integrate CIP/EtherNet/IP clients (Rockwell ecosystems).
• Set up an edge or cloud data pipeline to log time-series machine/process values.
• Deliver lightweight customer dashboards for KPIs, alarms, and trend analytics.
• Collaborate with service engineers to investigate machine issues.
• Own CI/CD, versioning, environment config, and deployment artifacts.
• Participate in establishment of coding standards and automated tests.
• Document your work.

Requirements

• BS in Electrical/Controls, Computer, or Software Engineering (or equivalent experience).
• 4+ years of experience with both traditional computer science and control systems backgrounds.
• Prior hands-on work experience with PLCs and industrial machinery.
• Professional experience with one OOP language and understanding of basic DSA.
• Hands-on with OPC UA concepts and confidence to implement with standard .NET libraries.
• Familiarity with CIP/EtherNet/IP and readiness to implement or adapt a .NET library.
• Experience deploying data logging for industrial systems.
• Comfortable reading electrical schematics.
• Excellent communication and able to work independently.
• Blazor, ASP.NET Core experience preferred.

Benefits

• Remote work with occasional travel (10–15%).
• Exposure to a manufacturing environment.
