We prefer that you have a few years of experience in food or plant processing and are used to working directly with customers in the field.
No previous experience of PEF or VI treatment is expected, but a good understanding of microbiological impact in food production is expected.
You should also be familiar with standards and general requirements for food processing. You will receive training in PEF and VI treatment.Our CEPT is controlled by a Siemens PLC and is often integrated with the customer's SCADA system. Experience with PLC control is important and that you can specify to developers how to control and integrations should be programmed.

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, OptiCept 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?
We interview and hire on an ongoing basis.
