Automation Engineer / Technician | Techniker/Ingenieur (m/w/d)
Pollux electro mechanical systems GmbH
Job Summary
This role is for an Automation Engineer or Technician specializing in designing and implementing customized test systems, where standard solutions are insufficient. The work is highly development-driven, focusing on unique, bespoke systems for complex customer components. Day-to-day responsibilities include the electrical design and specification of components, selecting appropriate sensor technology and drive systems (like servo-driven pumps), and developing highly dynamic control strategies. A core part of the job involves software integration, primarily using TwinCAT and LabVIEW, to manage sensor/actuator integration, develop control sequences, and create user-friendly interfaces. The position requires strong technical understanding for system testing, commissioning (mostly in-house), and detailed data analysis for troubleshooting. This is an attractive opportunity for professionals who thrive on new challenges in a non-routine, development-heavy environment, working closely with mechanical design, electrical, and project management teams.
