System Engineer

As a System Engineer, you will be part of the Engineering & Systems Automation 1 team. You will support production in the Sensors and Cartridges (S&C) Manufacturing area in several ways. Firstly, you will ensure smooth OT and system support for the ongoing production lines of the Sensor and Cartridges Manufacturing Network. Secondly, you will support project teams with capacity expansion projects from a systems engineering perspective.

Additionally, you will play a crucial role within the team, providing comprehensive expert support in IT/OT infrastructure, networks, and system integration/expansion.

Here, you will play a key role in defining technical IT/OT requirements and developing IT architectures and detailed specifications. Furthermore, you will coordinate and implement changes to servers, networks, and IT/OT systems in the production environment. Together with the team, you will be responsible for system management and ensure the lifecycle of the OT infrastructure for production facilities and production-related quality control (QC) applications.

You will be part of a highly qualified team of 11+ engineers who support the entire sensor and cartridge product portfolio.

will have completed vocational training or further education in computer science/systems engineering and have at least two years of professional experience in IT infrastructure, systems engineering, and/or IT/OT integration. Solid knowledge of server administration, virtualization, and network technology is required.
