🧠 What You Will Do

· Participate in New Product Development (NPD) projects, contributing automation and control system expertise from concept through implementation.

· Design, program, test, and optimize PLC software using Siemens TIA Portal.

· Develop HMI solutions and operator interfaces to improve usability and machine performance.

· Create and maintain automation architectures, functional descriptions, and software standards.

· Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and refrigeration engineers to deliver integrated system solutions.

· Execute system testing, troubleshooting, validation, and performance optimization activities.

· Support commissioning activities in production and at customer sites when required.

· Investigate and resolve complex automation and control system challenges.

· Develop and maintain technical documentation, including software specifications, test protocols, and user manuals.

· Ensure automation solutions comply with safety standards, quality requirements, and applicable regulations.

· Drive continuous improvement initiatives focused on performance, reliability, maintainability, and cybersecurity.

· Support and share knowledge with colleagues across the organization.

🛠️ What kind of person are you?

You are passionate about industrial automation and enjoy transforming technical requirements into robust and efficient control solutions. You thrive in a hands-on environment where you can work close to both development and testing activities. You are analytical, structured, and collaborative, with a strong drive to solve problems and improve system performance.

Hard Skills & Experience

· Bachelor's or Master's degree in Automation Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.

· Experience developing and commissioning industrial automation systems.

· Experience programming Siemens PLCs using TIA Portal and developing Siemens HMI solutions.

· Knowledge of industrial communication protocols such as Profinet, Profibus, OPC UA, Modbus TCP, or similar.

· Experience with machine safety systems and functional safety concepts is considered an advantage.

· Understanding of electrical systems, control panels, sensors, field instrumentation, electric motors, variable frequency drives (VFDs), and servo systems.

· Solid understanding of mechanical systems and the interaction between automation, drives, conveyors, and process equipment.

· Experience troubleshooting, optimizing, and root cause analyzing complete machine systems across automation, electrical, and mechanical domains.

· Strong technical documentation and communication skills.

· Professional proficiency in English, written and spoken.

Soft Skills & Mindset

· Strong problem-solving and analytical abilities.

· Self-driven with a high level of ownership and accountability.

· Structured and organized, with attention to both details and overall objectives.

· Collaborative and able to build strong relationships across functions.

· Direct access to production and testing facilities where you can validate and refine your solutions.

· A collaborative R&D environment focused on innovation, knowledge sharing, and technical excellence.

· Opportunities to deepen expertise across multiple engineering disciplines, from product design and validation to simulation, testing, and system optimization.

· The role offers potential opportunities for travel related to development projects, testing, supplier collaboration, and customer support activities.
