New Leadership Role in Industrial Software Engineering – South Germany

💼 Senior Software Project Engineer

📍 South Germany (Hybrid: 2–3 days onsite at customer site, rest from home)

💶 €80K–€90K + company car

I’m hiring on behalf of a global pioneer in industrial automation—a company known for its cutting-edge technology across robotics, motion control, vision, and software. They’ve just created a brand-new role within their DACH software team to support one of their biggest customers in Europe, DMG Mori.

This is a strategic role sitting between the customer and the internal software development team. You’ll gather requirements, define specifications, and oversee the technical delivery of automation software projects—spanning both high-level C# applications and PLC programming.

What makes this role different?

You’ll lead customer-facing discussions and translate real-world requirements into project plans and technical specs
You’ll supervise the work of a skilled software team (no direct reports, but you'll guide project execution)
You’ll be deeply involved in both C#/.NET development and PLC-based automation (IEC61131-3, motion, safety)
You’ll take ownership of project management: timelines, resourcing, coordination, and quality delivery

What we’re looking for:

Fluent/native German, plus solid English skills for internal coordination
Strong background in both software development (C#) and industrial automation (PLC, motion control)
Project coordination experience—ideally in a customer-facing role
Based in the South of Germany with willingness to be onsite 2–3 days/week

What’s on offer:

Hybrid work setup—home office and on-site visits
Strategic, high-impact role supporting a key customer
Company car (also for private use), bike leasing, and corporate benefits
A long-term career opportunity within a global brand known for innovation and stability
