Job Description

We are looking for an automation engineer with extensive experience in Siemens SIMATIC PCS 7 and process-related automation systems. The role involves working with design, configuration, and implementation of DCS solutions in projects ranging from the concept phase to FAT/SAT and commissioning. You will be involved in the entire lifecycle – from requirements analysis and system architecture to programming, testing, and documentation. Typical assignments include:

• System design and programming of DCS/PLC/SCADA solutions
• Migration and upgrade of existing automation platforms
• Integration of field instrumentation, networks, and communication protocols (e.g., Profibus, Profinet, OPC UA)
• Conducting verification and validation according to applicable standards
• Delivery of functional commitments and complete system solutions

The work takes place both at the client site and in our in-house projects, where you collaborate with multidisciplinary teams within Automation West – a segment with about 60 engineers and technical specialists in Gothenburg and Varberg. We work according to established project models and use tools such as COMOS, TIA Portal, WinCC, and PCS 7 Engineering System.

Qualifications

You are an analytical and solution-oriented engineer with a strong system understanding and experience working in complex project environments. You have a good ability to translate specifications into technical solutions and are comfortable documenting according to standardized methods. You enjoy working in parallel project flows and have a structured approach.

We are looking for someone who has:

• A degree in engineering (B.Sc. or M.Sc.) in automation, electrical engineering, or equivalent experience and knowledge.
• Several years of experience in the design and implementation of process automation systems.
• Deep expertise in Siemens SIMATIC PCS 7.
• Experience with other DCS/PLC/SCADA platforms (e.g., ABB 800xA, Emerson DeltaV, Honeywell).
• A valid driver's license and the ability to travel within Sweden.
• Excellent communication skills in Swedish and English, both verbally and in writing.

Meritorious:

• Experience with model-based simulation (e.g., SIMIT, MATLAB/Simulink).
• Experience with system upgrades and migration of legacy systems.
• Knowledge of ISA-88/ISA-95 and standards for industrial automation.

• The position may require you to work on our security-classified projects. This means that a security clearance will be conducted according to Swedish legislation on security protection. To meet the requirements, you need to hold a citizenship that complies with the security protection regulation, and no obstacles should exist according to the criteria for security classification.

• The opportunity to be involved from an early stage in building the team and the chance to become highly skilled in DCS and process industry.
