Jobbeschreibung

Your mission

You'll own the PLC software architecture and control logic across our full DAC system — from sensor integration and process sequencing to safety interlocks and automated data acquisition. You'll translate process engineering requirements into reliable, scalable TIA Portal code and define the automation standards that will carry us from our tFOAK pilot into commercial-scale deployment. Your work is the nervous system of our plant: without it, nothing runs.

A rare opportunity to shape industrial automation from scratch at the frontier of climate-tech — with real ownership, real complexity, and real impact.
