- Implementation of upgrades – remotely or on-site at the customer’s location (occasional business trips)
- Close collaboration with the hardware department
- Participation in the hotline team, including on-call duty
About you
- A completed technical degree (e.g., electrical engineering, automation technology) or a completed apprenticeship (electrical engineering or mechatronics) with an interest in programming
- Several years of professional experience and excellent PLC programming skills
- Interest in new technologies and technical challenges
- Ability to work independently, accurately, and with a sense of responsibility
- Strong customer focus and solution-oriented thinking

About us
What makes the job special
- You’ll juggle remote support, engineering, and customer interaction and can focus specifically on the upgrade topics that interest you
the most professionally. - Less travel, more focus: A clear remote-first approach with few business trips per year. You’ll be closely involved in the technical side without having to constantly be on the road.
- You’ll help us take our support and upgrade concept to a new level - smarter, more efficient, and future-proof.
What sets us apart

- A global technology leader – experience first-hand how future-oriented technologies and machinery are developed.
- Over 500 colleagues at our main site and another 300 worldwide: large enough for exciting projects, yet small enough for fast decisions and a personal working environment.
