Automation Technician in Monthey

pPAVE Space is building LYOBA, a heavy kick stage moving up to 4-tonne payloads from LEO to high-energy orbits in under 24 hours. /p pWe're commissioning our first rocket engine test bench by the end of the year. The propulsion engineers own the test logic; what they need is reliable electrical infrastructure underneath it: cabinets, sensors, wiring, all built clean and built to stay. You'll join an existing team and own the hands-on buildout from empty panels to ready-to-fire. /p h3You will own /h3 pElectrical cabinet design, assembly, and wiring from scratch for engine test benches /p pSensor and actuator integration: installing, wiring, and verifying industrial instrumentation /p pElectrical infrastructure across test site and workshop, built to be safe, clean, and maintainable /p pDrawing and implementing electrical schematics, ensuring what's on paper matches what's on the bench /p pSupporting data acquisition hardware installation alongside propulsion and test engineers /p h3What we are looking for /h3 pCFC in automation, electrical engineering, or equivalent (4-year apprenticeship for Swiss candidates; equivalent qualification or experience for international candidates) /p pMinimum 2 years professional experience building wiring cabinets, control panels, and electrical infrastructure /p pHands-on experience with selection and operating industrial sensors, actuators, and data acquisition hardware /p pAbility to draw, interpret and implement electrical schematics and wiring diagrams fluently /p pComfortable working in test site and workshop environments /p pFluent English (our working language) /p pNice to have: E-plan, PLC programming experience, HMI/GUI development, familiarity with aerospace or high-reliability test environments, French language skills. /p h3You will fit if /h3 pYou take pride in a cabinet that's wired clean enough that someone else can troubleshoot it at 2 a.m. /p pYou'd rather build infrastructure from nothing than maintain what someone else already set up. /p pYou're comfortable on a test site where things change week to week and the next task isn't always the one you planned. /p pYou want to see the bench you wired actually fire an engine. /p pThe role is split between our workshop in Villeneuve (VD) and our test site in Chavalon, about 20 minutes away. Both are on-site, every day. You're joining an existing team, not working alone, but the infrastructure is being built from scratch. It's early, it's real hardware, and what you wire will be behind every engine test we run. /p pWe are building to ship, grounded on real hardware, real funding, real milestones. /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
