OT Engineer – Automation, Data & AI
Do you want to do more than just keep existing systems running – do you want to help shape the production of tomorrow? 🔍 As an OT Engineer, you’ll join our six-strong OT team and work at the interface between production, automation, data and IT. Your scope of work extends well beyond a single production site: together, we’re further developing our OT landscape across the group and laying the technological foundations for more interconnected, automated and data-driven production processes. A particular focus is on how we can make effective use of data, automation and, in future, AI within our industrial environment. If you have traditional OT expertise and are keen to develop your technological skills further, you’ll find plenty of scope for that here. 🚀
We can only consider applicants who are authorised to work in Switzerland (EU/EFTA). We only consider direct applications.
