Iot Software Engineer
About The Position
Samtec is expanding its global IoT and SCADA engineering team to support a rapidly growing number of machine integrations across our manufacturing sites. This position sits in Wilsonville, Oregon. This team builds and maintains the SCADA/HMI systems that provide real‑time visibility into our manufacturing equipment and process data. This position will report to the Product Manager for the team assigned. The team consists of a Product Manager, Product Owner, Solution Architect, UX Designer, Software Engineers and possibly a Quality Assurance Specialist. Seeking a hybrid IoT Software Engineer who can support our current Ignition‑based architecture while helping drive a major transformation toward a modern, MQTT‑driven integration layer and cloud-based data ecosystem. This role blends SCADA engineering, software development, and hands-on manufacturing engagement. It’s ideal for someone excited to work at the edge—collecting, stitching, and delivering machine data that powers smarter manufacturing decisions.
