Job Description

Ready for the next step in your engineering career? At Agfa, you’ll take ownership of automation projects that have a direct impact on a high-tech production environment.

Your role

As a Project Engineer Automation, you lead the design and implementation of automation solutions—from concept to commissioning.

You translate technical challenges into smart, scalable systems, combining hardware and software into robust solutions used daily on the production floor.

You manage projects end-to-end, while staying close to the technology. This is not a purely coordinating role—you remain hands-on and technically involved.

What you’ll be doing

  • Lead automation projects from concept to implementation
  • Design and develop innovative hardware and software solutions
  • Optimize existing machines and processes to improve performance and reliability
  • Coordinate with internal stakeholders (engineering, production, maintenance)
  • Ensure smooth implementation and support adoption on the shop floor
  • Contribute to continuous improvement and innovation initiatives

Why this role stands out

  • Real ownership of projects—not just a supporting role
  • Strong combination of technical depth and project responsibility
  • Direct impact on production and visible results of your work
  • Clear growth opportunities towards senior expert or project leadership

Your profile

  • Master’s degree in Engineering (e.g. Electromechanics, Automation, Computer Science, …)
  • Preferably 3–5 years of experience in automation, engineering, or a technical project environment
  • Strong interest in integrating hardware and software
  • Hands-on, analytical, and solution-oriented
  • Able to take ownership and drive projects forward
  • Good communicator and team player
  • Fluent in Dutch and English

What you can expect

At Agfa, you’ll find the space to grow—technically and professionally.

  • A high-tech production environment
  • Autonomy and trust to drive your own projects
  • Opportunities to deepen your technical expertise or grow into leadership
  • Collaboration with experienced and passionate colleagues
  • An intresting work-life balance
  • Competitive salary package with attractive extra-legal benefits
