IA’s recent educational initiatives (including a Student Build-a-Thon, hackathon, and more) pave a path for success in industrial automation’s future.

Learn about five incredible nonprofit management projects that are a part of Inductive Automation’s Community Impact Program.

Inductive Automation is launching a social media campaign for The Ignition Effect, to explore Ignition’s powerful ripple effect across people, organizations, and industries.

IA takes pride in acknowledging your personal and professional achievements, fostering a collaborative atmosphere, and offering great career prospects in every department, so we’ve put together this guide with our HR team’s best tips and tricks for successfully applying for, interviewing for, and starting a new job here.

In honor of Women’s History Month, we wanted to spotlight some of the exceptional and inspirational female employees here at Inductive Automation. Our software, Ignition, is a disruptor in industrial automation, and in a similar fashion, we’re helping disrupt the traditionally male-dominated nature of our industry. By celebrating women, learning from their stories, and sharing the reality of their experiences, we’ll be better equipped to break down the barriers that impede progress.

At Inductive Automation, we understand why having an ace support team is so integral to the success of Ignition users the world over. That’s why our Support Division takes an unconventional, active approach. Support staff is on the front lines, assisting integrators with development roadblocks and helping end users when issues arise. They’re the unsung heroes of IA, so we’ve decided to spotlight the division responsible for that sense of relief you have when you hang up the phone.

During the pandemic, Inductive Automation prioritized remote work and offered remote jobs, and with the pandemic clearing, we chose to stay a primarily remote company.

Since our inception, there has been one thing that sets Inductive Automation apart from the rest of the automation industry: the people who work here. Our products are developed using open source technology and we offer free training along with mountains of free resources, but it’s our employees’ ingenuity and sense of community that are one of a kind. So more than anything, our goal is to make room for everyone on the IA team to grow and flourish, to find their strengths and fully realize their talents. With that mindset, we created the Technical Pathways Program to help current students and recent graduates develop their skills and better prepare for wherever their careers may take them.
