The Role
We are looking for a Senior Automation Engineer with solid, hands‑on experience in Beckhoff automation technology to design, develop, and maintain the control systems of our battery and vehicle production lines.



You will own the automation architecture of production equipment end to end – from PLC software and motion control to safety, HMI, and data connectivity – and act as the technical reference for Beckhoff‑based systems across the plant.
What You’ll Do

Design, program, and commission control systems based on Beckhoff TwinCAT 3 (Structured Text / IEC 61131-3), including software architecture, libraries, and coding standards.
Configure and troubleshoot EtherCAT networks, Beckhoff IPCs (CX / C60xx series), and EtherCAT I/O terminals.
Develop and tune motion control applications (TwinCAT NC/PTP, drives, servo axes) for assembly, handling, and dispensing stations.
Implement and validate functional safety with TwinSAFE (safety logic, safe I/O, risk assessment support per ISO 13849).
Design and maintain HMIs (TwinCAT HMI or equivalent) with clear alarm handling and operator guidance.
Integrate stations with plant IT systems
