About the Role

This position focuses on electrical, electronic, and system-wide engineering tasks for complex special machines and automated manufacturing systems. While PLC software development is handled by a dedicated team, this role is central to hardware-oriented automation design, system integration, machine safety, and commissioning. You will collaborate closely with colleagues from PLC, software, and mechanical development throughout the entire lifecycle, from concept to industrialization.

Responsibilities

Definition of automation concepts, electrical architectures, and system designs for special machines
Specification and integration of PLC-based control systems (preferably Beckhoff / TwinCAT) in collaboration with the PLC software team
Development and integration of electrical hardware such as sensors, actuators, drives, robots, and laser systems
Design and dimensioning of electrical power distribution and compressed air and vacuum supply systems
Conducting machine safety analyses and risk assessments according to the Machinery Directive and CE conformity
Commissioning and validation of machines in-house and at customer sites (national and international) together with interdisciplinary teams
Error analysis, troubleshooting, and system-wide optimization of new and existing machines
Application and integration of industrial communication systems (e.g., EtherCAT, Profinet)
Development of quality inspection and measurement solutions using modern sensor technologies
Transfer of developed systems into series-ready machines and series production
Documentation of development, commissioning, and test results according to quality and regulatory requirements
Close collaboration with mechanical, robotics, opto-mech, software, and project management teams
Support for production in technical troubleshooting and fault resolution

Requirements

Completed degree in electronics, electrical engineering, automation technology, or a comparable field
Experience in automation and electrical engineering, ideally in special machine or plant construction
Practical knowledge of PLC-based control systems (Beckhoff / TwinCAT advantageous), without primary responsibility for PLC software development
Knowledge of drive technology, industrial automation, and fieldbus systems
Experience with machine safety, risk assessments, and CE conformity
Experience with tools such as EPLAN, Altium, LTSpice, or comparable systems is advantageous
Structured, analytical, and independent way of working with a strong hands-on mentality
Willingness to quickly familiarize yourself with new technologies and tasks
Very good German language skills (written and spoken) are required; English skills are advantageous
