Mechatronics Engineer (f/m/d) Automation & Pilot Plant

Your mission

You are the crucial interface between our physical experimental setups and digital data acquisition. Your mission: make our reactors “smart” and bridge the gap between hardware and software.

• Automation & Innovation: You integrate digital stirrers and sensor technology into our measurement systems and take holistic responsibility from concept development, calculation, and design to building tailored solutions for specific technical challenges.

• System Integration: You connect hardware components to our measurement software and continuously optimize process parameters. You also develop and implement custom modifications to further improve our existing laboratory equipment.

• Prototype Development: You are responsible for the electrical and mechanical assembly of new experimental reactors and translate technical drawings into functional, practical systems.

• Maintenance 2.0: You analyze and resolve faults in complex systems (mechanics, electronics, and software). In addition, you maintain our specialized equipment for polymer synthesis, characterization, and processing, ensuring maximum system availability.

Your profile

• Education: Successfully completed vocational training in mechatronics, industrial mechatronics, or a comparable qualification (e.g., electrician with a strong mechanical background). An academic background (e.g., B.Eng. in Mechanical Engineering or Electrical Engineering) is welcome, but for us the key factor is your practical ability to implement solutions.

• Experience: At least two years of professional experience in an industrial environment. Experience in measurement and control technology or in the chemical or plastics industry is a strong plus.

• Digital Mindset: Strong affinity for digitalization and modern software solutions. You understand how data flows from machines into systems and how this process can be optimized.

• Working Style: You work independently, think interdisciplinarily, and find pragmatic solutions to complex technical challenges.

• Team & Language: You enjoy working in the dynamic environment of a growing startup. As our team is international, you communicate confidently in English; good German skills are an advantage for coordination with local partners.
