Your mission & challenges
● You will drive the build-up of our Robotics Control & System Integration area for the Smart Factory and scale our robotic arms, including around 4NE-1.
● You will integrate robotic systems across mechanics, electronics, and software, and commission them on Linux/Debian.
● You will carry out measurement engineering and data analysis using Python or MATLAB, and connect equipment, IoT devices, and measurement systems (OPC UA, MQTT, REST).
● You will create interfaces to MES/production systems and databases (SQL), together with the Production IT team.
● You will build CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI, Jenkins, Docker/Podman) and take on requirements engineering in coordination with production and stakeholders.
● In your first 90 days, you’ll take over an integration topic, connect a measurement station to the MES system, run a measurement campaign to analyze a robotic arm’s performance, and build a CI/CD pipeline.
What we can look forward to
● A completed Master’s degree in mechatronics, computer science, robotics, automation, or control engineering.
● Experience in the system integration of robotic systems (mechanics, electronics, software, Linux/Debian) as well as in measurement engineering and data analysis with Python or MATLAB.
● Experience connecting equipment, IoT devices, and measurement systems (e.g. OPC UA, MQTT, REST) and with interfaces to MES/production systems and databases (SQL).
● Knowledge of CI/CD and software deployment (e.g. GitLab CI, Jenkins, Docker/Podman) as well as requirements engineering.
● Business-fluent German and English, spoken and written (C1).
Nice to have
● A plus: professional experience with robotic/automation systems, control and drive engineering, basic embedded knowledge (C/C++, EtherCAT), experience with MES/ERP systems, and knowledge of IT/OT security and common safety standards (ISO 10218, IEC 61508).
