PLC/SCADA Engineer

🚀 We’re looking for an Automation Engineer to join an innovative engineering environment working on advanced testing and automation solutions across multiple industries.
 

About the role

In this role, you will support both test cell revamp projects and new test bench development, ensuring systems meet modern automation standards and best practices. You will design, implement, and optimize control systems for testing equipment using industrial automation platforms such as PLC controllers and SCADA systems to simulate and control mechanical systems and their behavior.

Working closely with project leaders and test engineers, you will contribute expertise in automation, system optimization, and verification of test setups. Based on test results and analysis, you will help refine control models and strategies while supporting continuous improvement of testing processes.
 

Key responsibilities
• Assist in designing, implementing, and testing control systems for test benches and testing equipment using industrial automation platforms (e.g., PLCs and SCADA systems)
• Support test cell upgrades and new test bench installations by implementing automation solutions and performing system checks
• Participate in optimizing test processes by adjusting models, parameters, and control strategies based on test results
• Collaborate with test engineers and project teams to troubleshoot issues and ensure proper operation of test setups
• Apply automation standards and best practices to maintain consistency and quality across projects
• Document test setups, modifications, and lessons learned to support knowledge sharing and future improvements
 

What we’re looking for
• Master’s or PhD in industrial, electrical, mechanical, or software engineering
• Ideally 2–5 years of experience (recent graduates with strong internships are also welcome)
• Solid experience in automation and control systems, including PLC programming
• Familiarity with industrial automation platforms (e.g., Beckhoff, Siemens, Rockwell) and SCADA systems is a plus
• Experience with industrial communication networks such as EtherCAT, PROFINET, or Modbus TCP/IP
• Strong programming skills, particularly in Python or similar scripting languages
• Experience with system or process control development in test labs, R&D, or industrial environments
• Strong collaboration, communication, and analytical skills with a proactive mindset
