The position
As a Machine / Industrial Automation Engineer, you design and implement control, coordination and automation solutions for complex mechatronic systems. You work on high-performance machines and autonomous modules where precision, reliability and intelligent behavior are essential.
You will develop sequencing and state models, coordinate autonomous subsystems, and ensure robust system behavior under all operating conditions. You bridge the gap
between mechatronics and software, using model-based engineering to translate system concepts into validated, scalable implementations. You collaborate closely with mechanical, electrical and software teams to turn innovative ideas into integrated, high-quality machine solutions.
Key responsibilities
- Designing and optimizing control and automation logic for complex mechatronic systems.
- Developing sequencing, scheduling and state-based models for machine behavior.
- Coordinating autonomous subsystems and ensuring consistent system-level operation.
- Analyzing system network behavior, communication flows and timing constraints.
- Implementing strategies for damage control, fault handling and safe recovery.
- Designing mode-switching behavior for hybrid systems with multiple operating states.
- Defining and implementing calibration, performance monitoring, and diagnostic (CPD) concepts to ensure accuracy, stability, and serviceability of the system.
- Building and validating dynamic and simulation models using model-based engineering.
- Collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to deliver robust, integrated machine solutions.
