Manufactures diamond wafers for thermal management
Salary Range: 40000 to 55000 (Currency: EUR) (Pay period: per-year-salary)
We are looking for an Automation Engineer to join the Advanced Factory Systems team, based within the Gas Engineering department in Zaragoza.
In this role, you will contribute to the design, implementation, and commissioning of automation systems for our gas projects, while also developing advanced automation solutions for our manufacturing lines. You will work on a wide range of equipment, both custom-made and standard, including gas process systems, robotics, machine vision, and other smart manufacturing technologies.
Working closely with mechanical, electrical, process, and production teams, your objective will be to deliver safe, reliable, and scalable systems that improve manufacturing performance, reduce manual intervention, and support the continued growth of our factory operations.
Design, program, integrate, and commission automation and control systems for gas-engineering projects, from early design through start-up and operational handover.
Develop and implement automation solutions for manufacturing lines, including robotic systems, machine vision, material handling, and other advanced factory technologies.
Troubleshoot, optimize, and upgrade in-house and third-party equipment to improve safety, reliability, productivity, and operator experience.
Collaborate with process, mechanical, electrical, production, and maintenance teams to translate operational needs into robust technical solutions.
Prepare and maintain technical documentation, including control narratives, functional descriptions, electrical or automation drawings, test procedures, and operating documentation; train end users when required.
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Automation, Electrical, Electronic, Industrial, Mechatronic, Computer, or a closely related Engineering discipline.
At least 3 years of experience in industrial automation, controls engineering, or the integration and commissioning of industrial equipment.
Practical experience with PLC programming, HMI/SCADA systems, industrial networks, field instrumentation, and communication protocols such as Modbus, Profinet, Ethernet/IP, OPC UA, or similar. Experience programming ABB and/or KUKA industrial robots is highly desirable.
Experience with, or strong interest in, robotics, machine vision, automated manufacturing equipment, and/or process plants involving gases or other industrial utilities.
Manufactures diamond wafers for thermal management
Diamond Foundry produces single crystal diamond wafers used to improve heat management in high-tech systems. They develop and manufacture semiconductor-grade diamond wafers and related technologies for B2B customers, including AI, EVs, and wireless communications, to help devices run cooler and more efficiently. The wafers leverage diamond's exceptional thermal conductivity to spread and dissipate heat from powerful chips beyond what traditional materials can handle. They differentiate themselves by offering a sustainable, zero-carbon production process and a complete semiconductor-grade tech stack, targeting Tier 1 automakers and other high-tech firms. Their goal is to lead in both advanced materials and environmental sustainability by providing reliable, high-performance cooling solutions for mega tech applications.
