Your mission
We are launching a completely new, highly automated production line for manufacturing cotton-based acoustic tiles — including automation systems that have never existed before. To operate, refine, and continuously improve this innovative setup, we are looking for a hands-on, technically skilled Automation Engineer.
In this role, you will become the heart of the automation: the person who understands, drives, and shapes the entire automated production process from day one.

In this role, you will become the heart of the automation: the person who understands, drives, and shapes the entire automated production process from day one.
Process Ownership & Optimization
- Analyse, define, and optimize automated production processes across the cotton tile line.
- Develop process parameters, SOPs, and quality frameworks to ensure stable and efficient automated operation.
- Identify automation bottlenecks and implement continuous improvement measures (LEAN, OEE focus).
Automation Supervision & First-Level Technical Support
- Oversee the entire automated production flow — from raw material handling to finished tiles.
- Provide hands-on first-level support for automation components (PLC, sensors, actuators, robotics, HMI).
- Work closely with automation engineers, integrators, and suppliers during commissioning and system upgrades.
Daily Production Management
- Monitor system performance, process stability, and output quality in real time.
- Support and coordinate production staff working alongside automated systems.
- Ensure compliance with all relevant safety, quality, and environmental standards.
Documentation & Knowledge Building
- Create process and automation documentation for a system that is being built for the first time.
- Establish internal know-how and train future operators and technicians.
- Serve as the internal expert and “owner of the line.”
