We are now looking for a committed Junior AI & Industrial Automation Engineer with broad technical expertise to join our Circular Economy group. At Circular Economy, we introduce exciting new circularity solutions in innovation projects, we strengthen research, industry and the public sector. We create positive effects on society through technological development together with external partners and access to the latest research.

About the role
Electric-vehicle batteries are entering their second life – or their end-of-life – at record speed. At Chalmers Industriteknik we help to develop automated, data-driven ways to collect, diagnose, remanufacture and recycle batteries. As a Junior AI & Industrial Automation Engineer with us, you will operate and supervise our AI developments —from inbound collection logistics to cell dismantling, state-of-health testing, sorting and material recovery—so that the process runs safer, cleaner and cheaper. You will work gathering high-quality production data, spotting improvement opportunities and running production-like trials of new AI solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate with our partners in the daily operation of industrial equipment looking for possible improvements in quality, optimize flows and prevent faults to make battery circulation safer cleaner and cheaper. The work spans the whole value chain: from field collection logistics to dismantling, state-of-health testing, cell sorting and material recovery
  
• Supervision of industrial processes in shift-based operations for data gathering
  
• Run production-like trials in real/simulated environments of the new data-based AI monitoring systems: start/stop test cycles, record alarm history, and document deviations

About you
As a dynamic AI & Automation Engineer we see that you have:

• 4 + years of hands-on industrial automation/quality-control experience

• M.Sc. in Automation, Mechatronics, or similar

• Passion for turning insights into reliable, production-ready solutions

What we would hope you know

• PLC/HMI/SCADA configuration (Siemens TIA, Beckhoff or similar) and field-bus networks

• Robot-cell operation (ABB, KUKA, FANUC) including teach pendants and safety zoning

• Statistical quality control, DOE and root-cause analysis

• Knowledge in Machine learning and Generative AI solutions

Other qualifications

• Experience with battery packs, BMS protocols or high-voltage test rigs

• Knowledge of circular-economy standards (e.g. EU Battery Regulation, ISO 14006 ecodesign)

• Familiarity with digital-twin platforms, OPC UA, MQTT or edge AI deployment

• Competence in visual-analytics tools (Power BI, Grafana)
  

What We Offer
At Stiftelsen Chalmers Industriteknik, we offer not only the opportunity to work with amazing people but also a dynamic and innovative environment within an expanding organization focused on problem-solving and creating a sustainable future.
