Job description

Multiply is building a strong pool of senior automation professionals for current and upcoming assignments within advanced manufacturing, robotics, automotive, energy, process industry, Life Sciences and industrial digitalisation.

Your role

Depending on your background, you may:

• Lead automation activities from design to commissioning and production support
• Develop and modify PLC, HMI, SCADA and DCS systems
• Take technical ownership of machines, production lines, process equipment or robot cells
• Troubleshoot production‑critical systems and lead root‑cause analysis
• Modernise existing automation platforms
• Coordinate suppliers and multidisciplinary engineering teams
• Support machine safety, functional safety and OT/IT integration
• Plan and coordinate automation work packages, milestones, risks, dependencies and technical deliverables
• Support customer communication, progress reporting and technical decision‑making

You may work in both project and production environments. This can include daily production support, troubleshooting and root‑cause analysis, preventive improvements, equipment modifications, FAT/SAT, commissioning and production ramp‑up. Experience with electrical drawings, control cabinets, industrial maintenance and production‑critical systems is highly valuable.

Your profile

You have solid experience in industrial automation and specialist competence in one or more of the following areas:

• PLC engineering: Siemens S7 and TIA Portal, Allen‑Bradley and Rockwell Automation, Beckhoff TwinCAT, Schneider Electric, Mitsubishi, Omron or similar platforms
• ABB automation: ABB 800xA, AC 800M, System 800xA, ABB robotics or related control environments
• HMI and SCADA: WinCC, FactoryTalk, AVEVA System Platform, Ignition or comparable supervisory systems
• Process automation and DCS: PCS 7, ABB 800xA, instrumentation, batch control and process‑control systems
• Industrial robotics: ABB, KUKA, FANUC or similar platforms, including programming, cell integration and commissioning
• Motion and drives: Servo systems, frequency converters and coordinated machine control
• Industrial communication: PROFINET, PROFIBUS, EtherCAT, Modbus TCP, OPC UA or industrial Ethernet
• Machine safety: Safety PLCs, functional safety, machinery regulations and CE‑related engineering
• OT/IT integration: MES, databases, APIs, production‑data platforms, industrial middleware and cybersecurity
• Testing and commissioning: FAT, SAT, virtual commissioning, production ramp‑up and troubleshooting
• Brownfield modernisation: Upgrades, migrations and modifications to production‑critical systems
• Life Sciences automation: GMP‑regulated production, validation, traceability, structured documentation and controlled system changes

Experience in project management, technical project leadership or work‑package coordination is meriting. This may include planning, estimation, risk management, supplier coordination, stakeholder communication, progress reporting and responsibility for scope, schedule and technical deliverables.

Experience with GAMP 5, computerised‑system validation, qualification activities, audit trails, electronic records, batch systems or regulated change control is also meriting for Life Sciences assignments.

You do not need experience in every area. We are particularly interested in candidates with recognised depth in at least one automation domain and the ability to understand how machines, control systems, data, networks and production processes interact.

You are comfortable combining hands‑on engineering with technical responsibility, customer dialogue and coordination across engineering disciplines.

You communicate confidently in English. Swedish is meriting, particularly for production‑facing and customer‑site assignments.
