ekvip automation GmbH is a software company specializing in mechanical and industrial engineering, headquartered in Leipzig with subsidiaries in the U.S. and Sarajevo. We develop TwinCAT 3 frameworks (including our open-source framework cinnamon), C# applications for the machine and line level, as well as services related to commissioning. Our guiding principle is simple: we shape automation.
Are you looking for more than just a “job” and prefer to break new ground rather than follow well-trodden paths? We are looking for someone whose heart beats not only for automation technology, but also for adventure and challenges.
