Control Systems Engineer
Aargau Canton, Switzerland (Hybrid)
Are you passionate about working at the intersection of software, hardware, and advanced scientific infrastructure?
We are supporting a leading Swiss organisation in the search for a Control Systems Engineer.
This is not a pure software role.
This is not a pure hardware role.
This is where motion control, embedded systems, real-world hardware integration and software engineering meet
Your Mission
You will play a key role in integrating and maintaining complex control systems.
Your responsibilities will include:
Integrating hardware components (cameras, motion systems, stepper motors, mechatronic devices) into EPICS-based control environments
Coordinating control system integration across engineers & project teams
Supporting users and ensuring reliable operation of scientific facilities
Contributing to software development (primarily Python & Bash)
Supporting motion control concepts (parallel motor control, stepper systems, positioning systems)
Writing clean documentation (requirements, test plans, procedures)
Advising internal stakeholders on best practices and system architecture
If you enjoy moving motors in parallel, integrating cameras into real-world systems, and solving complex hardware/software interaction challenges, this is your playground.
What Were Looking For
You should bring:
3+ years experience in control systems, embedded systems, or system-level engineering (senior candidates with 10+ years of experience are also encouraged to apply).
Experience integrating hardware into software-driven control systems
Strong understanding of motion control / stepper motors / mechatronics
Practical software development experience (Python, C++, Bash or similar)
Exposure to low-level / embedded systems is a strong plus
A proactive, collaborative, user-focused mindset
English required
German is a plus (not mandatory)
Why This Role Is Unique
Work in a highly interdisciplinary team (8 engineers)
Real-world, large-scale technical systems - not just code in isolation
Strong technical autonomy
High intellectual environment
Long-term stability
This is ideal for someone who:
- Comes from embedded or system-level software
- Has hands-on control/motion experience
- Wants to move closer to physical systems & scientific infrastructure
- Enjoys cross-functional collaboration
