Mechanical Designer

Do you want to design systems that have a real impact on business performance? Are you looking for an environment where every project is different and where you can see your ideas come to life concretely? Ascenta Automation is made for you.

Ascenta develops industrial automation, engineering, and artificial intelligence solutions to improve manufacturing operations' performance. Our team designs and integrates custom systems including robotics, industrial vision, and process optimization to help companies increase productivity, product quality, and operational efficiency. We handle each project from A to Z, from the ideation phase with the client to installation and post-implementation support.

Our team is cohesive, dynamic, and growing. Here, your ideas don't wait in a drawer; they end up on a client's factory floor a few months later. If you want to have an impact, variety, and the freedom to create, you are in the right place.
