Your role

As a Senior Automation Engineer, you will play a key role in bringing our machines to life from concept to commissioning. You’ll work closely with multidisciplinary teams and customers to deliver robust, high-quality automation solutions — not just maintaining existing code, but designing, building, and validating control systems end-to-end.

• Take ownership of the functional performance of our machines, collaborating with internal departments and external partners
• Develop PLC / HMI / Motion / Safety programs from scratch, through testing, commissioning, and optimization
• Create clear functional descriptions and maintain accurate technical documentation
• Program and test machines in our workshop, ensuring compliance with specifications and safety standards
• Cooperate with the Electrical Engineering team on new machine developments and continuous improvements
• Support the start-up and commissioning of machines in production and at customer sites
• Occasionally travel to customers to optimize start-up and resolve complex technical challenges in the field
• Prepare user and start-up manuals to ensure smooth handover
• Provide after-sales technical support, both remotely and on site when required
