Software Engineer Integration & Automation

Develop, maintain, and enhance laboratory software solutions around system integration, automation, and connectivity such as our LabX API based products. Design, maintain, and improve laboratory automation and robotics solutions, including applications based on platforms such as ABB RobotStudio with RAPID programming. Ownership of our robotic cells used for demonstration and exploration of new use cases and technical feasibility studies. Collaborate with development teams on a global scale, business stakeholders, integration partners, and vendors to deliver scalable and secure solutions. Provide technical consulting and engineering support for internal and external stakeholders. Ensure high software quality through testing, documentation, deployment, and the application of secure software development practices. Support the development of advanced robotics environments, AI-enabled laboratory automation solutions, simulation environments, and customer demonstration setups across Europe.

The Software Development Center (SWDC) is METTLER TOLEDO’s internal software service center supporting multiple business units with software-based solutions. SWDC develops secure, modern software solutions for on-premises, cloud, and mobile environments. Our multidisciplinary teams combine software engineering, system integration, robotics, automation, and technical consulting to drive innovation and digital transformation across our global organization.
