Job Description Systems Engineer HF Automation in the Zurich area, 80 to 100 percent, with a salary of CHF 97'500 to 136'500 per year. For a highly specialised technology company, we are looking for an automation specialist who brings to life PLC systems that do not exist anywhere else in the same form. Every project here is a one-off, from the first functional specification to the moment when the system starts up cleanly for the first time and the whole team holds its breath for a moment. Cableways and Mountain Railways Your controls move gondolas over glaciers and mountain peaks. When the first cabin leaves the valley station at eight in the morning, your software is running, and thousands of guests rely on it without ever knowing your name. Pharma and Medical Technology You automate systems on which medicines and medical products are made, with the highest demands on precision, cleanliness and validation. Here every line of code counts, because in the end people benefit from it. Energy and Hydropower You control power plants, pumped storage facilities and grids that supply the country with electricity. Your work sits at the heart of the energy transition, somewhere between the dam wall and the control room. Rail and Tunnel Technology You automate ventilation, lighting and safety systems in tunnels and railway installations. When you drive through the next tunnel, you will know who ensures that everything works.
