Automationssoftwareingeniør

The role of Automationssoftwareingeniør (Automation Software Engineer) typically requires strong expertise in designing, developing, and maintaining automation software systems. Key skills likely include proficiency in programming languages commonly used in automation such as PLC programming languages (e.g., Ladder Logic, Structured Text), as well as general-purpose languages like C, C++, or Python. Experience with industrial automation platforms and tools such as SCADA systems, DCS, and HMI development is important. Knowledge of communication protocols used in automation environments, including Modbus, Profibus, Ethernet/IP, and OPC UA, is essential for integrating various control systems. Familiarity with control system architectures, real-time operating systems, and embedded systems may also be required. The role demands a solid understanding of automation engineering principles, control theory, and system diagnostics. Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work with cross-functional teams to implement efficient and reliable automation solutions are critical. While specific experience and education levels are not provided, the position generally requires a degree in automation engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, or a related technical field. Practical experience with software lifecycle management, version control systems, and testing/debugging automation software is also valuable. Overall, the ideal candidate should combine software development capabilities with domain knowledge in industrial automation to optimize production processes and ensure system reliability and safety.
