Frequently Asked Questions

What does an industrial software developer do?

An industrial software developer builds the manufacturing software layer above the controls — MES, SCADA, historians, dashboards, and OT/IT integrations. They connect PLCs and databases, model production data, build operator and management interfaces, and deliver applications that turn plant-floor data into scheduling, tracking, and reporting.

How much do industrial software developer contractors charge?

Industrial software developers on the platform typically post $60–$130 per hour. Standard SCADA and reporting work sits near the median; senior developers building full MES, OT/IT integration, and custom .NET/SQL applications reach the upper end. Rate depends on platform and integration complexity.

What platforms and skills matter for industrial software?

Common platforms are Ignition (Perspective/Vision), Wonderware/AVEVA, and FactoryTalk, plus SQL databases and .NET/C#, Python, and web stacks. Valuable skills include OPC UA, MQTT, historian design, and OT/IT security. Ignition and OPC UA experience is in especially high demand.
