Mechatronics & Automation Engineer

About the role

We are looking for a Mechatronics & Automation Engineer to join us on our mission to build the world's first autonomous factory for carbon fiber manufacturing.

Are you excited about connecting the shop floor - feeding systems, sensors, PLCs, and robots - into one seamless production system? Are you interested in working in a highly collaborative team within a fast-growing deep-tech company? Are you looking to spend your time and motivation on making a difference in the climate emergency?

Then you will love Holy.

What you will do

• Be part of a motivated engineering team to develop Holy's revolutionary manufacturing technology.

• Design, build, and maintain the embedded and industrial automation systems that connect our shop floor - feeding systems, sensors, PLCs, robots and IoT devices.

• Lead the electrical design and integration of new equipment into our production line.

• Work closely with our advanced composite engineers to parametrise relevant data points from the manufacturing process.

• Integrate and program industrial robots (e.g. KUKA, UR) and PLC/Profinet systems.

• Ensure seamless, reliable operation of our production floor.

• Follow your intellectual curiosity and learn about new markets and technologies together with your co-workers.

• Create high tech solutions for exciting customer projects.

• This position can develop into an expert, a generalist, or a team lead position and we will make sure that we sit together to discuss your development goals.

What we are looking for

• You hold a degree in a relevant field (mechatronics, electrical engineering, automation, or similar) and have 1-2 years of working experience in solving similar problems.

• You have a passion for mechatronics and hands-on experience with embedded systems (e.g. Arduino, Raspberry Pi), motor selection, and circuit design.

• You have experience with industrial automation and OT, including PLC programming.

• You are passionate about working on problems that have not been solved before and appreciate an agile working environment.

• You like to build projects from a white piece of paper, taking ownership comes naturally to you.

• You have an autonomous working attitude and the ability to simply get started.

• PLUS: You have software development experience.

• PLUS: You have experience with industrial robots (e.g. KUKA, UR robots) and Profinet/PLC integration.

You do not tick all the boxes? We are looking for driven candidates who most importantly add to our culture, and don't just blend in.
