Do you want to make an impact in the field of control engineering?
And do you want to contribute to innovative hightech projects that help our customers build up a lasting lead in the world of technology? While at the same time you will be working for a company where you and your personal development are our priority? Then you are the candidate we are looking for!

What are you going to do as Machine Automation engineer?

As a Machine / Industrial Automation Engineer, you design and implement control, coordination and automation solutions for complex mechatronic systems. You work on high‑performance machines and autonomous modules where precision, reliability and intelligent behavior are essential.

You will develop sequencing and state models, coordinate autonomous subsystems, and ensure robust system behavior under all operating conditions. You bridge the gap between mechatronics and software, using model‑based engineering to translate system concepts into validated, scalable implementations.

You collaborate closely with mechanical, electrical and software teams to turn innovative ideas into integrated, high‑quality machine solutions.

Key responsibilities

  • Designing and optimizing control and automation logic for complex mechatronic systems.
  • Developing sequencing, scheduling and state‑based models for machine behavior.
  • Coordinating autonomous subsystems and ensuring consistent system‑level operation.
  • Analyzing system network behavior, communication flows and timing constraints.
  • Implementing strategies for damage control, fault handling and safe recovery.
  • Designing mode‑switching behavior for hybrid systems with multiple operating states.
  • Defining and implementing calibration, performance monitoring, and diagnostic (CPD) concepts to ensure accuracy, stability, and serviceability of the system.
  • Building and validating dynamic and simulation models using model‑based engineering.
  • Collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to deliver robust, integrated machine solutions.

    • Are you someone who

  • holds a Master’s or Bachelor’s degree in Controls or Mechatronics, with at least 5 years of relevant experience.
  • has affinity with or experience in software development, acting as a bridge between mechatronics and software engineering.
  • has experience with Model‑Based Systems Engineering (MBSE).

    • is skilled in;

  • sequencing, scheduling and state modelling
  • Coordination of autonomous systems
  • System network behavior and communication
  • Damage control and fault handling
  • Mode switching in hybrid systems
  • is proficient with tools such as Matlab/Simulink/Stateflow, Siemens NX, Enterprise Architect, UML Designer, and Python scripting.
  • feels at home in high‑tech environments such as semiconductor equipment, (autonomous) robotics, and precision positioning systems.
  • works in a structured, analytical way and can translate complex system behavior into practical, scalable solutions.
  • enjoys collaborating with specialists from multiple disciplines and take a proactive approach to solving technical challenges.

    • Our customer

    You will be working for our customer who is at the forefront of of high-tech mechatronic systems using advanced control engineering, modelling and motion control.

    Who are we?

    Technology means progress. Continually finding ways to do things differently, to improve products, services, and processes. That is what makes the heart of every technology organization and tech professional beat faster. In the projects they are working on, but also for themselves. That means something different for each individual. For one person, it means being guided to their dream project; for the other, it means developing their skills. Making that possible, that is the human touch. And that is what makes our heart beat faster.

    ENTER specializes in multiple competencies: Chemical, Electronics, Mechanical, Mechatronics, Physics, Production Development and Software Technology.

    ENTER's professionals work with our partners and customers on a project basis. We select and match projects and employees by focusing on experience, ambitions, personality and, of course, a passion for technology. Communication and writing skills also play a role in making the ideal match.

    Our business managers and recruiters work closely together, making sure we have the right colleagues available for our customers at the right time. We also offer our employees a broad career perspective.
