Position: Electrical Engineer

Location: Rotterdam, Netherlands

Field: Semiconductor

Type: Full-time

Role Overview

As an Electrical Engineer at the company, you will play a key role in the development and architectural design of electrical solutions and components for our cutting-edge products. Working in close collaboration with multidisciplinary teams including mechanical, mechatronics, software/firmware, and project management you will help translate high-level requirements into robust electrical designs.

Your responsibilities will span the full development cycle: from concept creation and option evaluation to detailed design, prototyping, testing, and iterative improvement. Beyond project execution, your expertise will actively contribute to the growth and refinement of our electrical and electronics capabilities.

What We're Looking For

We are explicitly seeking a hands-on generalist-someone who thrives in both high-level architecture and detailed execution. You should be eager to:

• Dive into electrical cabinet design and troubleshooting
• Lead schematic creation and design reviews
• Shape the electrical architecture for current and future platforms
• Support industrialization efforts and next-generation product development

Your passion for innovation and practical problem-solving will help drive the company's mission forward.

Specific tasks and responsibilities include:

• Determine the detailed electronics system requirements, including safety regulations and certifications.
• Design electrical parts based on requirements.
• Construct electrical schematics and wiring diagrams.
• Simulate and test electrical designs.
• Select electrical components and assist in the purchasing of these parts.
• Prepare assembly, installation, and test procedures for electronic components.
• Assist in the realization and testing of electrical prototypes.
• Troubleshoot on problems and implement design changes.
• Assist in the realization and testing of (electrical) subsystems.
• Review other electrical designs and advise on design modifications and optimization.
• Identify (potential) problems and pro-actively work on improvements of electronic designs.
• Be the point of contact for colleagues with questions regarding electrical designs and components.

What do we require from you?

• At least a BSc. in Electronic/Electrical Engineering, Instrumentation or equivalent.
• At least 5 years of experience with electrical layout & integration as electrical designer/developer in a high-tech systems environment. (e.g. not oil and gas sector)
• Broad technical knowledge of electrical and electronics with basic knowledge of physics, mechanics and software.
• Pro-active, problem-solving, and hands-on attitude.
• Well-organized and able to work independently.
• Flexible and capable of working in a complex environment.
• Familiar and comfortable with the uncertainty that comes with experimental and engineering challenges.
• Good communication- and report writing skills.
• Fluency in English, both written and spoken.
• Programming experience (Matlab/Python) is a plus.
