Full Description

Last date to apply: 03 March 2026 We’re one of the world’s oldest start-ups — and we’re just getting started. At Husqvarna Group, innovation is in our DNA. With over 330 years of heritage and a passion for pioneering technology, we design and deliver world class products and solutions for forest, park, garden and construction care. From robotic lawn mowers to cutting-edge chainsaws and sustainable battery systems, we’re shaping the future - and we want you to be part of it. Join our Manufacturing Engineering organization in Huskvarna, where Production Engineering collaborates closely with Automation & IT to keep our factories running safely and efficiently. You will support daily operations and continuous improvement for our Chain & Bar factories and report to Group Manager, Rasmus Almström. About the role: As an Automation Engineer, you will own PLC/SCADA/HMI development (primarily Siemens TIA/S7 and Beckhoff TwinCAT 2/3), design and implement code changes, and commission upgrades on live equipment. When issues arise, you will diagnose them at the source - on the line - then close the loop by hardening code, standardizing the fix, and documenting what we have learned. Working side‑by‑side with production, you will prioritize improvements that lift throughput, quality and uptime, while ensuring that our connected machines supply our MES system with data that drive smarter decisions. A big part of the work is the listen in and understand the organizations problems and challenges, and to take these into actions. You will keep our standards sharp by creating clear work instructions, coaching operators on new functionality, and making sure every change meets safety and quality requirements (APQP/PPAP). As an Automation Engineer you can expect a visible, hands‑on impact, high tempo, and the satisfaction of seeing your solutions perform. About you: We’re seeking a highly motivated engineer with a passion for technology, automation and innovation. You thrive in a collaborative environment yet take ownership when it’s needed. A structured mindset, strong problem‑solving abilities and clear communication help you contribute effectively - both in team deliveries and in hands‑on work on the line. You enjoy a high‑tempo setting where no two days are the same, and you like working with people as much as with machines. Your skills and background: Bachelor’s degree in industrial Automation, Robotics, Mechatronics, Computer Science, Electrical or Mechanical Engineering - or equivalent practical experience 3+ years of documented experience in industrial automation with PLC programming and troubleshooting PLC + HMI/SCADA: Programming and commissioning of PLCs and configuration of HMI/SCADA systems - ideally Siemens TIA Portal/S7 and/or Beckhoff TwinCAT 2/3. Industrial communication: Hands on experience with common industrial networks such as Profibus, Profinet, Ethernet/IP and OPC UA. Electrical & troubleshooting: Solid grounding in electrical design and machine safety, with a proven ability to troubleshoot complex automation cells. Robotics & vision: Basic robot programming skills; vision systems experience for detection/inspection is preferred but not required. MES & data flows: Experience integrating MES and production analytic tools and working with manufacturing data flows is considered a plus, but not a requirement.

We work from the office but with opportunity to some flexibility to promote work life-balance. Your Application: Please submit your application in English as soon as possible.
