(Medior/Senior) 4.0 robotics project engineer

ContextCould your best career choice be one that propels you toward becoming an intrapreneur or entrepreneur in your field of expertise?Success in industries often relies on key individuals demonstrating intrapreneurial leadership, i.e. who continuously launch new initiatives and seek for excellence.The best way to develop this strength is through ad interim projects, i.e. work with established intrapreneurs in international companies to support their major expansion or improvement initiatives regarding governance, studies, or operations.AETHER manages these opportunities in key strategic sectors, as these offer greater learning opportunities with multi-million impacts: Public Infrastructures Process Manufacturing Component & System TechnologiesOne challenge for process manufacturing operations is that a fully automated production line can rapidly become a critical bottleneck if the automation strategy, robotic integration, and control systems are not flawlessly executed from prototype to industrial deployment.=> We therefore invite you to collaborate with AETHER as a senior 4.0 Automation consultant.Job DescriptionThe scope of our contract is to bring assistance with a right-hand Project Lead, in the context of a highly automated industrial environment undergoing major ramp-up and technological consolidation, where advanced robotics, sensor systems, and industrial control architectures are being deployed at scale.The Key responsibilities expected from our on-site delegate might include: Tasks related to supporting projects by facilitating communication and progress Participate in the planning and budget monitoring for the automation project. Industrialize the selected solutions: write specifications, follow manufacturing, integrate on site, train teams, and accompany change. Ensure an ongoing technology watch to anticipate developments and propose innovations. Tasks related to supporting projects with rational and data-driven assessment Conceive, develop, and validate robotic and automated prototypes using advanced technologies. Validate the integration and configuration of sensors (vision, measurement, traceability, safety) to enhance performance, quality, and reliability. Tasks related to supporting projects through high-quality, detail-oriented execution Define the automation strategy aligned with the industrial challenges of the site while collaborating with multidisciplinary teams. Conceive, develop, and validate robotic and automated prototypes integrating IoT, smart sensors, industrial vision, and embedded systems. Integrate and configure sensors (vision, measurement, traceability, safety) to optimize automated processes. Develop and adapt control programs and algorithms to improve robotic equipment performance. Industrialize the selected solutions: write specifications, follow manufacturing, integrate on site, train teams, and support change.The Experience We Are Actively Looking For Engineering background in robotics, automation, or industrial computing (or equivalent). Strong experience in development, integration, and industrialization of robotic or automated solutions. Solid command of programming tools and languages used in robotics (ROS, Python, C), industrial control systems (PLC, SCADA), and industrial networks. Ability to work within project teams with innovation mindset, rigor, and autonomy. An entrepreneurial experience or ambition is a plus (extra-professional or extra-academic is a great start). Immediate availability is preferred. Valid single permit for non-EU citizens.Check with AETHER if more impactful opportunities are relevant for your experience or objectives.Inspire | Lead Growth | Create Impact
