Resumo da oferta

Cerrion AG is hiring a Field Installation Engineer to own end-to-end deployments of Cerrion systems in customer factories across Europe. This hands-on role requires an experienced, licensed electrician capable of on-site electrical and networking work, coordinating with IT and production teams, and delivering a live, integrated system.

Expect extensive travel, autonomy, and collaboration with cross-functional teams to ensure fast, quality installations that meet tight production timelines.

Qualificações

• Licensed electrician with EU/UK credentials to work in energized industrial environments.
• Field installation experience in industrial settings, automation or CCTV.
• Strong industrial networking fundamentals (Ethernet, PoE, switches).
• Hands-on installation mastery in cabinets, cables, and hardware.
• Fluent English, both spoken and written.
• High willingness to travel with flexible hours.
• Valid driver's license for long-distance travel.

Responsabilidades

• Own deployments end to end: Run the full lifecycle for each site, from remote site survey to on-site installation, commissioning, and acceptance, until the system is live.
• Plan like an engineer, execute like a builder: define camera layouts, cabling routes, cabinet work, networking needs, and deliver high-quality plans on site.
• Install in energized factory environments with hands-on electrical and mechanical work, safely and to standard.
• Deploy and integrate the Cerrion stack: set up servers, switches, routers, patch panels, and IP cameras, then validate readiness.
• Interface with machines and plant teams: coordinate PLCs and production IT to go live within tight constraints.
• Solve problems on the spot: address missing equipment, unexpected layouts, and network quirks quickly.
• Document handover: deliver clear as-built docs and site notes for a stable live system.
• Travel as a core part of the job: spend most time on the road across Europe with high autonomy.

Descrição da oferta de emprego

At Cerrion, we're building the future of AI-enabled manufacturing. Headquartered in Zurich with more than $25M in funding from Creandum, Y Combinator, and top Silicon Valley investors, we're building the industrial AI platform to deploy AI Agents that can see what's happening on the production floor, automatically spot problems, and instantly intervene to keep lines running smoothly, at scale. Our technology is live in factories across 18+ countries, helping leading manufacturers in glass, beverage, food, CPG, building materials, and wood cut downtime by up to 50%.

This is a mainly on-the-road position, open to anybody in Europe regardless of their home country. Preference for applicants who live near major airport hubs and are equipped with their own car.

Role summary

We're hiring a Field Installation Engineer to own the end-to-end deployment of Cerrion systems in customer factories across Europe and occasionally beyond. This role is for a hands-on, licensed electrician with strong industrial networking instincts and a bias for getting complex installations done right the first time. You will remotely survey sites with customers, plan installations, execute on-site deployments, coordinate with client IT and production teams, and drive customer acceptance until the system is fully installed and switched on. Once a site is live, you move to the next project.

This is a high-autonomy, travel-heavy role at the front lines of scaling a real-world AI platform in some of the most advanced manufacturing environments in the world.

Responsibilities

• Own deployments end to end: Run the full lifecycle for each factory, from remote site survey and install planning with the customer, through on-site installation, commissioning, and customer acceptance, until the Cerrion system is fully installed and switched on.
• Plan like an engineer, execute like a builder: Define camera layouts, cabling routes, cabinet work, networking needs, access windows, and required hardware during remote surveys, then deliver the plan on site with high quality and speed.
• Install in real industrial environments: Perform hands-on electrical and mechanical installation work independently in energized factory settings (cabinets, cable runs, mounting, terminations), safely and to standard.
• Deploy and integrate the Cerrion stack: Set up servers, switches, routers, patch panels, and Axis IP cameras (4 to 80 per plant). Run and terminate the structured data cabling, interconnect all devices, and label every cable end to end. Then align the cameras, validate system readiness, and add a SIM router or Starlink where needed.
• Interface with machines and plant teams: Connect or coordinate PLC and machine interfacing work and collaborate daily with production, maintenance, automation, and IT teams to get the system live within tight production constraints.
• Solve problems on the spot: Handle the inevitable on-site surprises (missing equipment, unexpected layouts, network quirks, safety constraints) by finding practical solutions fast without compromising quality.
• Document and hand over cleanly: Deliver clear as-built documentation (network and camera setup, cabinet changes, configs, site notes) and leave the customer confident in a stable, live system.
• Travel as a core part of the job: Spend most of your time on the road installing in factories across Europe and occasionally beyond, with high autonomy and a results-based, flexible schedule.

What a typical installation looks like

Cerrion deployments combine a server and a network of 4 to 80 cameras per plant, connected via Ethernet across one or multiple switches. Optional modules include connectivity devices (SIM router or Starlink), loudspeakers, and PLC interfaces with production machines.

Installations usually involve:

• Pre-planning remotely: Align responsibilities, access windows, cabling routes, cabinet changes, network requirements, and timeline.
• On-site execution: Integrate the server into customer IT infrastructure, run and terminate Ethernet cabling, mount and align cameras, install relays, connect PLCs where needed, and validate streams and system readiness.
• Documentation and acceptance: Deliver final as-built docs and get customer sign-off. The system is switched on only after a complete, successful install.

Factories vary widely in comfort, access, and complexity; you'll need to improvise practical solutions on site when reality differs from plan.

Qualifications

Must-have

• Licensed electrician with the certifications required to work independently in energized industrial environments in the EU and UK.
• Field installation experience in industrial settings (automation, electrical field service, machine vision and CCTV, IIoT, robotics, or similar).
• Strong industrial networking fundamentals: hands-on experience with Ethernet, PoE camera networks, switches, bandwidth constraints, and troubleshooting in production environments.
• Practical installation mastery: confident running cable, working in cabinets, mounting hardware, reading electrical diagrams, and delivering high-quality installs under tight windows.
• Fluent English, spoken and written.
• High willingness to travel; the role is mostly on the road, with flexible hours oriented around installation delivery.
• Ownership mindset: able to run deployments end to end with minimal supervision, coordinate cross-functionally, and drive acceptance outcomes.
• Valid driver’s license and comfortable driving long distances to customer sites.

Nice-to-have

• Experience commissioning IP camera and CCTV systems (especially Axis Communications).
• Exposure to PLC environments or machine-interface projects.
• Additional European languages (German, French, Spanish, Italian) helpful but optional.
• Comfort managing third-party contractors on site.
• Experience with work travel.

Performance expectations

• On-time installs against agreed customer schedules.
• Fast time-to-go-live and short deployment cycles.
• High first-pass quality, minimizing post-go-live quality and performance issues.
• Clear, complete documentation for every site.

Why Cerrion

• Impact: You own deployments end to end and directly determine customer success, bringing real AI into factories across 18+ countries.
• Growth: Join a motivated, cross-functional team with a "best idea wins" culture and a clear path to growth, both personally and professionally.
• Compensation: Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits.
• Culture: Work alongside AI PhDs, ex-Googlers, and serial entrepreneurs from around the world, with regular team events.

We welcome licensed electricians, technicians, and tradespeople from any related background. Technical skills can be learned. What matters most is being hands-on, proactive, and motivated to own installs on the road.
