The position

We are seeking an Automation Engineer to join our Robotic and Automation team to create innovative automated solutions and secure the successful implementation of new technologies in our aseptic manufacturing networks.

  • Advanced automation: PLC, SCADA. (Siemens, Rockwell, or Beckhoff programming is beneficial).
  • Knowledge of functional safety and robust process control.
  • Fluency in spoken and written English.

While experience with machine vision and machine learning is advantageous, it is not mandatory. Similarly, knowledge of GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) is preferred but not essential.

Your working place will be primarily in Bagsværd and Lyngby and occasionally at our test facility in Kalundborg. Your home team will be Automation and Robotics, a dynamic and international team of 8 highly skilled engineers. The engineering department consists of other important colleagues such as Mechanical design, CFD, and Validation engineers.

Working at Novo Nordisk:

At Novo Nordisk, we don't wait for change. We drive it. We're a dynamic company in an even more dynamic industry, and we know that what got us to where we are today is not necessarily what will make us successful in the future. We embrace the spirit of experimentation, striving for excellence without fixating on perfection. We never shy away from opportunities to develop; we seize them. From research and development through to manufacturing, marketing, and sales – we're all working to move the needle on patient care.
