Do you want to build something that’s never been done before?

Join us in designing and launching our First-of-a-Kind (tFOAK) facility — a project pushing the boundaries of climate-tech innovation. As our Junior Automation Engineer, you’ll own critical parts of the automation and instrumentation, and see your ideas turn into real-world impact — fast.

We are looking for a hands-on engineer ready to tackle non-linear processes, crunch times, and unique challenges. You’ll be part of a small, high-impact automation team, working across instrumentation design, market research, and procurement, while collaborating closely with mechanical and process engineers. Expect a steep learning curve and the opportunity to shape a truly pioneering project.

Key points

  • Control system programming
  • Develop wiring diagrams, I/O lists, and instrumentation layouts.
  • Support troubleshooting and calibration of measurement systems.
  • Market Research & Procurement:

    • Identify and evaluate suitable sensors, measurement devices, and electronic components.

    • Compare technical specifications, vendor offers, and cost optimization in alignment with project needs.

    • Coordinate with suppliers for lead times, delivery, and testing.


  • System software testing
  • Plan and execute calibration and validation tests for all sensors and electrical systems.
  • Support on-site commissioning and troubleshooting of first-of-a-kind setups.
  • Documentation & Compliance:

    • Prepare detailed documentation (technical manuals, schematics, calibration reports).

    • Ensure compliance with CE and industrial safety standards.


  • Work closely with plant operators to understand their needs, provide technical support, and help refine operator interfaces (HMIs) for clarity and ease of use.
  • Actively contribute to problem-solving during crunch periods with quick iterations and design adjustments.
