Automation Engineer – Magnet Industrialisation

YOUR IMPACT

You will support the industrialisation of production processes for magnet production, contributing directly to the execution of key activities within Proxima’s magnet program.

You will play a central role in designing, programming and operating automation cells performing a wide array of production processes such as welding, bonding, sealing and coating.

You will operate across a wide range of technical tasks, from design and engineering to hands on production work, and collaborating closely with engineers and technicians.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Advise on future line design and automation concepts.
• Define the requirements for automation cells for different processes to ensure performance, repeatability and safe operation.
• Contribute to the development of control strategies for new production lines.
• You will build and commission automation cells, including running FAT at supplier sites.
• Identify and test different manufacturing and in-process monitoring approaches.
• Design jigs and tools for magnet industrialised production.
• Support in the process development and prototyping of magnets, with scalability and repeatability in mind.
• Collaborate closely with engineers and technicians across multiple teams.

WHO YOU ARE

• A master´s degree in mechanical, mechatronics or similar engineering field.
• A wide experience in robotics, automation and process monitoring in an industrial setting.
• Strong hands-on experience in production environments over a wide range of production processes (for ex. welding, machining, assembly, bonding).
• Experience with robotic simulation and offline programming (e.g. RoboGuide, RobotStudio, Process Simulate). Previous work on FANUC systems is a plus.
• Familiarity with industrial communication protocols (e.g., OPC UA, Ethernet, Profinet).
• Proficient in industrial-level PLC programming.
• Ability to work across a variety of tasks in a dynamic environment.
• Reliable, proactive, and solution-oriented mindset.
• Strong team player, able to collaborate closely with engineers and technical staff.
• A high performer who loves challenges and is not afraid to experiment, take risks and learn from mistakes.

NICE TO HAVE

• Familiarity in both prototype manufacturing and industrial manufacturing.
• Proficiency in CAD: good knowledge of Catia V5 or 3DExperience are considered as a plus.
• Exposure to SCADA systems or MES integration.
• Familiarity with Beckhoff PLC and motion control.
• Knowledge of safety standards and risk assessments in automated environments.
