Just imagine shaping the platform where LEGO® elements begin their journey from moulding machine to finished product. Then make it real.
As our Automation Manager, Operational Technology - Moulding, you'll own production software and automation equipment on a global automation platform used across moulding operations. You'll be responsible for software, robotics, network infrastructure, and connected equipment that support the platform throughout its lifecycle. Working closely with colleagues across Operational Technology, R&D, maintenance, and production, you'll help improve, standardize, and future-proof solutions that support high-quality manufacturing.
In this role, you will act as a bridge towards Manufacturing Design & Implementation (MD&I) and Operational Technology, ensuring aligning goals and strategy in the moulding technology area. Understanding cross-departmental coordination, planning and strategy is a vital skill, and will require you to communicate clearly, understand complex company policies and put yourself in the middle of the information-flow.
If you've worked with automation programming, robotics, and industrial networks, you'll feel at home here. What matters most is your willingness to learn, solve problems, and continuously improve how things work.
You'll join Operational Technology, a team of 12 colleagues based in Denmark, Hungary, and the Czech Republic. Together, we develop and support the automation platforms behind LEGO® manufacturing. We connect every week to share priorities and support one another, while enjoying a flexible hybrid rhythm. We're looking for someone who takes ownership, enjoys collaboration, communicates openly, and brings curiosity to both opportunities and challenges.
Your software will be deployed around the world, so expect 30-40 days of travel through the course of the year.
Success means becoming a trusted platform owner who helps create consistent, reliable solutions across global moulding operations. You'll work closely with Manufacturing Design & Implementation, Operational Technology colleagues, mould maintenance teams, and R&D partners. Over the coming months, the team will take on new responsibilities and play an even bigger role in shaping the future of moulding technology across the LEGO Group.
