Automation lead

About Taigatech We solve some of the most important problems in industry with AI and computer vision. With our connection to the latest research and academia, we take world-leading research in AI and computer vision and turn it into impactful solutions that help the wood industry increase yield, availability, and productivity. Technology is reshaping our world. We believe the forest and wood products have an important role to play in a sustainable future, and AI is how the industry gets there. We are a growing team in a comfortable office in central Gothenburg, working closely with many of the leading names in wood processing. Our systems run in production at sawmills and pulp mills in Sweden and abroad. There's no better time to join our journey than now. Why this role exists Our systems create value the moment their output reaches the customer's control system — a correction, a signal, something the line can act on. What determines the results are a handful of decisions made early and made well: which signal, where it lands, what the line does with it, and how it behaves when something unexpected happens. Get those right and the implementation is small and quick. Today that judgement is distributed between our own team and the automation partners we work with on each installation. We want someone to decide what the interface should look like, judge whether it came out right, decide when a sensor or other component needs replacing, and if the signal belongs on a different fieldbus. That's the person we're hiring. You don't replace our automation partners. You become the one who leads them. What you'll do The role is both technical and leadership, and the balance shifts from project to project. Own the machine-side interface. You decide how our system talks to the customer's PLC. Signals, timing, handshakes, watchdog, fail-safe behaviour. You write the functional description the work is built from. Lead our automation partners. Sometimes that means writing the code
