About Prodrive Technologies

At Prodrive Technologies, we don’t just follow technological innovation — we drive it. As a leading high‑tech company in the Eindhoven region, we design, develop, and manufacture advanced electronics, software, and mechatronic systems that power industries such as semiconductors, medical, energy, and mobility.

Leveraging cutting‑edge ARM, FPGA, and x86 technologies, we deliver reliable systems that make a real impact.

• Expand our customer base by identifying and securing new product integrations at both existing and new customers
• Keep up to date with market developments and industry trends
• Proactively identify opportunities and discuss them with customers
• Collaborate closely with colleagues across engineering, product management, operations, and account management

What We Offer

• Performance‑based salary growth that rewards your results
• 33 vacation days per year, including public holidays
• Flexible working hours
• Time‑for‑time compensation when working extra hours
• Strong focus on personal development, supported by a tailored growth and learning plan
• Extensive career opportunities, with progression across a wide range of functions and projects
• A young, entrepreneurial, and innovative company culture where initiative is encouraged
• Free access to the company gym

• At least 5 years of experience in international business development, technical sales, or a related commercial role
• Proven ability to win business and close deals
• Comfortable with cold calling, networking, and opening new doors
• Willingness to travel internationally to engage customers and close opportunities
