THE JOB
This is a hands-on opportunity for an Automation Engineer who wants to own the path from the machine to the cloud. You will manage the installation and commissioning of IIoT devices at our clients’ plants: assessing shopfloor equipment, connecting and configuring our in-house devices, integrating PLCs and sensors, and making sure every project’s connectivity stays healthy after go-live.
Beyond the shop floor, you will work with AI agents as part of your daily toolkit — using and configuring LLM-powered agents to accelerate diagnostics, documentation, and deployment workflows. This position is idóneo for an engineer with an automation/OT background who is comfortable with scripting and modern software tools, and who enjoys being where the action is: control cabinets, HMIs, and industrial networks. We offer a supportive environment with experienced mentors and real impact on production operations.
BACKGROUND
Education & Technical Skills:
You should have a background in Mechatronics, Electrical, Control/Automation, or a related engineering field. We’re looking for:
- Hands-on experience with
PLCs and industrial equipment
(Siemens, Allen-Bradley, WAGO, or similar) — reading electrical diagrams and working safely around control cabinets.
- Working knowledge of
industrial communication protocols
: OPC-UA, Modbus TCP/RTU, Siemens S7, EtherNet/IP, MQTT.
- Industrial networking fundamentals
: IP addressing, switches, VPNs, firewalls, and remote access to devices on plant networks.
- Python scripting
for data-acquisition checks, device configuration, and automation of repetitive tasks.
- Familiarity with
Linux and Docker
for configuring and maintaining devices in the field.
- Experience using or configuring
AI agents / LLM tools
(e.g., Claude, agent frameworks) to support engineering work — or strong motivation to learn.
- Nice to have: experience with sensor instrumentation (flow, pressure, temperature), signal wiring (4-20 mA, digital I/O), and gateway/protocol-c
