The KION Group is on its way to becoming the only true global player and market leader in the field of automated and robotized intralogistics solutions and products.
We are looking for a Software Engineer to join our Automation Commissioning Team, with strong proficiency in C# development and the ability to contribute to advanced industrial automation projects. The role requires experience in designing and implementing reliable software components, particularly for applications interfacing with automation systems, AGV/AMR fleets, and ASRS technologies.
While the core focus is C# application development, basic familiarity with Siemens and Beckhoff PLC environments is considered a plus to support system integration and commissioning when needed.
We offer:
- Career Development
- Extensive range of training and development measures within the Group
- Free access to training courses via Linkedin Learning
- Competitive Compensation and Benefits
We offer:
The Software Engineer will be part of the Automation Commissioning Team and will report to the Head of Commissioning. The role will be settled in the software development sub-team.
Role purpose:
Develop and maintain C# applications using modern language features (e.g., async/await, LINQ, MVC) to ensure scalable and high‑performance software modules.
Contribute to the definition of software architecture, applying principles such as SOLID, layered architecture, dependency injection, and modular design for automation‑related systems.
Integrate C# applications with automation equipment, AGV/AMR systems, and ASRS solutions through industrial communication protocols, APIs, and middleware.
Collaborate with Controls and Commissioning Engineers to ensure seamless interaction between software layers and shop‑floor automation.
Develop user interfaces and front‑end components using modern frameworks such as Angular, Vue.js, or similar technologies, ensuring intuitive and reliable interaction with backend automation services.
Support system integration by reviewing or troubleshooting basic PLC logic (Siemens TIA Portal, Beckhoff TwinCAT) when necessary
Work within cross‑functional teams to validate system behavior during commissioning phases, ensuring reliable end‑to‑end operation.
(Nice to have) Leverage experience with WMS/WES/WCS software to enhance data flow analysis, task orchestration, and integration between automation and material‑handling systems
Tasks and Qualifications:
Who are we looking for:
- Bachelor’s degree preferably in Electronic, Computer, Telecommunication or Automation Engineering.
- Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings and electrical schematics.
- Familiarity with AGV/AMR or ASRS systems is considered an advantage.
- Willingness to travel nationally and internationally for approximately 50% of working time.
- Proficiency in English (minimum B2 level).
