Automation Engineer / Technician in Special Purpose Machinery | Ingenieur/Techniker Automatisierungstechnik Sondermaschinenbau (m/w/d)

Job Summary

As an Automation Engineer or Technician, you will be responsible for the end-to-end development of control systems for diverse industrial sectors, including packaging, textiles, logistics, and chemicals. Your daily tasks involve programming PLC systems and creating visualizations for both brand-new production plants and the modernization of existing legacy systems (retrofit). A significant portion of this role includes the commissioning of these systems on-site, requiring travel across Germany, Europe, and occasionally worldwide. This position is ideal for technical professionals who enjoy variety, as you will work on unique, custom-built machinery rather than mass-produced items. The role offers a stable environment within a family-owned company that has over 50 years of history, providing a balance of traditional engineering and modern digital solutions, supported by flexible working hours and comprehensive professional development through a dedicated digital learning platform.
