At Lace Lithography, we’re scaling our team and looking for a sharp, passionate teammate to join us to build something really, really small. In our company we build chip lithography technology that will enable the next 100 years of chip manufacturing.
Founded in 2023, we’re based in Bergen (Norway), Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Barcelona (Spain), and backed by some of the world’s most ambitious investors. Lace Lithography is seeking a talented and experienced Senior Automation Engineer to join our Instrumentation Control team in Bergen.
In this role, you will lead the introduction and development of a robust industrial automation layer for our laboratory and production systems, strengthening system control, operational reliability, and fail-safe behavior.
As our lithography platform grows, we are strengthening the automation and control infrastructure required for reliable, safe, and scalable system operation.
This role will contribute to the design and implementation of robust industrial control solutions, including equipment coordination, monitoring, interlocks, alarm handling, and fail-safe mechanisms. This is not a narrowly defined PLC programming role.
You will help determine where industrial automation adds the most value, define clean interfaces between PLCs and higher-level software, and contribute to an architecture that can evolve as our technology and roadmap mature.
The ideal candidate brings hands-on PLC experience together with the ability to contribute in a general-purpose programming language such as Rust or Python.
This is a high-impact position suited to an engineer who is comfortable moving between architecture, implementation, commissioning, and hands-on troubleshooting of complex physical systems.
You will work closely with physicists, electrical engineers, and hardware developers to build automation systems suitable for high-reliability laboratory and semiconductor environments.
