Senior Control Systems Engineer | Machine Building | SDK Engineering - SDK Engineering

Do you enjoy working on installations that run on software you’ve developed yourself? And do you want to see your technical contribution come to life in practice? Then this is exactly what you’re looking for. At SDK, you’ll work on the development and construction of hybrid and electric installations. We convert and upgrade machines so they can operate reliably for years to come. No theory, real engineering you can see on the workshop floor.

In this role, you’ll have a high level of responsibility. You design and build control systems for machines and installations. You develop software, integrate systems, and ensure everything runs reliably in practice.

You are involved from concept to commissioning and contribute to technical decisions. You oversee the complete system and make sure everything works, from logic to real-world performance.

You work independently and collaborate closely with mechanical and electrical engineers to deliver a fully functional system.

Develop control software (Codesys / Structured Text)

Design and implement communication protocols (e.g. CANbus, J1939, Modbus)

Integrate software with mechanical and electrical systems

Commission machines in the workshop and on-site

Contribute to technical improvements and standardization

Educate and support software engineer team members

You take ownership of how the machine performs. You work independently, think ahead, and ensure systems do what they are supposed to do. You collaborate with the engineering team to achieve optimal machine performance.

Have experience with PLC control systems and Codesys (Structured Text)

Have knowledge of industrial communication (CANbus, J1939, Modbus)

Have experience in machine building or industrial automation

Are able to analyze and solve technical problems

Work independently and organize your work effectively

Have a practical mindset and focus on real working solutions

At SDK, you will work in a hands-on technical environment where engineering comes first. You’ll have the freedom to work independently and contribute to solutions.

Work on custom-built machines (no series production)

A high level of freedom in technical decision-making

Involvement from design to a fully operational machine

Short communication lines and fast decision-making

Opportunities for personal and professional development
