Robotics & Automation Engineer (m/f/d)

Fiber Elements GmbH was founded in 2023 at the start-up center of Montanuniversität Leoben and focuses on the development and production of non-metallic reinforcement systems for the construction industry. The company primarily processes the mineral material basalt, transforming it into complex three-dimensional reinforcement systems using rovings (fiber bundles) on automated production lines. These systems are widely used in precast concrete elements. In addition to textile reinforcement systems, a key area of focus is the development and digital control of fully automated production lines, which can also be operated at customer sites. Fiber Elements is a dynamic and fast-growing start-up backed by reputable investors, renowned research partners, and promising customers. To support its growth, the company is expanding its team of 13 employees and is filling key positions across the organization.
