About the Role

This role focuses on the development and integration of electronic hardware, control electronics, and system-level solutions for complex special-purpose machines and automated manufacturing systems. While PLC software development is handled by a dedicated team, this position plays a key role in hardware-centric automation design, electronic system development, machine safety, and commissioning, working closely with PLC, software, and mechanical engineering colleagues throughout the entire lifecycle, from concept to industrialization.

Responsibilities

Define automation concepts, electronic architectures, and system designs for special-purpose machines and automated manufacturing systems
Develop electronic assemblies and hardware solutions for machine control, sensing, inspection, and measurement applications
Design, review, and optimize electronic circuits and printed circuit boards (PCB) for industrial applications
Specify, validate, and integrate electronic components, sensors, actuators, drives, robots, and laser systems
Specify and integrate PLC-based control systems (preferably Beckhoff / TwinCAT) in collaboration with the PLC software team
Design and dimension electrical power distribution, compressed air, and vacuum supply systems
Conduct machine safety analyses and risk assessments in accordance with the Machinery Directive and CE conformity requirements
Support EMC-compliant hardware design, testing, and validation activities
Commission and validate machines in-house and at customer sites (national and international), together with interdisciplinary teams
Perform fault analysis, troubleshooting, and system-level optimization on new and existing machines
Apply and integrate industrial communication systems (e.g. EtherCAT, Profinet)
Develop quality inspection and measurement solutions using modern sensor technologies
Transfer developed systems into production-ready machines and series manufacturing
Document development, commissioning, validation, and test results in accordance with quality and regulatory standards
Collaborate closely with mechanical design, robotics, OptoMech, software, and project management teams across the organization
Support production departments with technical troubleshooting and fault recovery

Requirements

University degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Automation Engineering, Mechatronics, or a comparable field
Experience in electronic hardware development, preferably in industrial automation, special-purpose machinery, manufacturing equipment, or plant engineering
Experience in the development of electronic assemblies and printed circuit boards (PCB)
Knowledge of analog and digital circuit design
Experience with electronic hardware validation, testing, and troubleshooting
Practical knowledge of PLC-controlled machines and automation architectures
Knowledge of drive technology, industrial automation, sensors, and industrial communication systems
Experience with machine safety, risk assessments, and CE conformity
