About Demcon

Each of our companies distinguishes itself in its own field through unique expertise and skills. This enables them to help clients perform better and achieve more. Driven by a shared passion for technology, our companies can join forces. By sharing knowledge and working together, we create greater impact on society.

Our business unit Demcon Industrial Systems (DIS) develops and delivers a wide variety of projects for the complex machine-building industry. These projects range from the development of individual components and proof-of-principle setups to complete machines and integrated system solutions for industrial clients. Our projects are often at the intersection of machine control, machine vision, data science, and artificial intelligence.

What are you going to do?

As a software engineer, you translate customer specifications into the required software solutions. You work in a multidisciplinary team, collaborating closely with colleagues from other engineering disciplines. In a structured way, you translate the system design into a fully functioning machine control system. To do this, you use BRIX, our standard machine control platform based on TwinCAT 3 (ST) and Beckhoff hardware. You are involved in testing and commissioning machine control systems. In addition, you act as a sparring partner for both your fellow engineers and the customer.

What do you bring to the table?

• A completed bachelor’s or master’s degree in a software-related technical field;
• Demonstrable experience in a similar role within industrial automation, machine building, or mechatronic systems;
• Experience with object-oriented software development;
• Experience with TwinCAT 3 (ST) and Beckhoff is preferred;
• Relevant knowledge of machine vision and/or smart cameras is a plus;
• Relevant knowledge of machine safety, motion control, drives, and/or robot control is a plus.

What do we offer you?

At Demcon, you will work on technically challenging projects where your experience directly contributes to the quality of our solutions. You will have the opportunity to help shape software decisions, provide technical guidance to colleagues, and contribute to the further development of our standard platforms, including BRIX.

We also value a pleasant working environment, personal attention, and a healthy work-life balance. We actively discourage overtime because we understand how important life outside of work is.

In addition, you can expect:

• A competitive salary;
• 31 days of paid leave and an 8% holiday allowance;
• A good pension scheme with Zwitserleven;
• Opportunities to follow training courses and professional development programs through the Demcon Academy, allowing you to further develop your knowledge and skills;
