Job Description
Company Profile We are a tech start-up building next-generation software and hardware for the luxury sector, combining interactive 3D, VR, video, and automation technologies to create immersive physical and digital customer experiences. Our mission is to redefine how premium brands engage, sell, and serve customers through elegant, high-performance technology. Role Overview We are looking for a full-time Lead Hardware Automation Engineer to help design, prototype, build, and scale the automation systems behind a new generation of interactive luxury commerce experiences. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who is equally comfortable in industrial automation environments and fast-moving maker-style prototyping. You should understand the discipline of classic PLC-based systems, while also having the curiosity and practical creativity to build, test, and iterate with tools such as Arduino, STM microcontrollers, 3D printing, basic electronics, sensors, actuators, and custom hardware assemblies. This role is not about simply maintaining machinery. It is about creating intelligent, reliable, elegant hardware systems that support best-in-class customer experiences. What You’ll Do You will lead the development of hardware automation systems that combine mechanical movement, electronics, software control, robotics, and cloud-connected product experiences. You will work across concept development, prototyping, testing, commissioning, documentation, and production readiness. A major part of the role will involve robotic arm control, including movement planning, repeatability, safety, calibration, end-effector integration, and coordination with digital systems. You will help design automation experiences that feel smooth, premium, reliable, and intentional. You will also work with PLCs, sensors, motors, controllers, relays, IO systems, embedded boards, custom fixtures, and prototype hardware. You should be able to move between structured industrial automation thinking
