We are looking for a person with a university degree, preferably a master’s degree, in food processing, microbiology, automation or another relevant subject.
We prefer that you have a few years of experience in food processing and are used to working directly with customers in the field, but recent graduates are also welcomed to apply. Attitude is more important than experience. No previous experience of PEF treatment is expected, you will receive training in this.
Our CEPT is controlled by a Siemens PLC and is often integrated with the customers SCADA system. Experience with PLC control is important and that you can specify to developers how control and integrations should be programmed. Even better if you can program in the Siemens TiA portal.

At ArcAroma, all employees contribute with knowledge, experience and dedication. As we cover a wide range of knowledge, including electronics, automation, process engineering, biochemistry, service, logistics, quality, etc. with relatively few people, it is important that you are interested in areas other than your own and that you want to develop as a person. By understanding each other and working together, ArcAroma becomes better as a company.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a journey where we go from a small development company to a major product company. Our products, methods, knowledge, and organization are developing at a high pace and the future looks very bright. Do you want to be part of the journey?
